RE: CRITICAL LEGISLATIVE ISSUES WHICH NEED YOUR ATTENTION
-6� SALES TAX ON LOCAL GOVERNMENT PURCHASES
This is an obva.ous attempt on State Government's part to reduce
aid to local units and help salve its prablem at our expense. It
equals approximately 2� of your tatal annual budget and will be a
reduction in serviee or a pass through property tax increase if
levy limits are relaxed which is unlikely. Please take this
�ssue seriously.. Wi�hout your help to defeat it -- it will
likely pass �
-MQTOR VEHICLE EXGZSE TAX (MVET)
The Governor's proposal to leave this over $244 mil.lian in the
General Fund cames at a time when highway and transit funding are
in eritieal need. Ths highway system cannot be maintained under
the current funding seheme mueh less with the deletion af i�IVET.
° The Metropolitan Area is in desperate need for impraved/upgraded
highways and mare transi� alternativelopportunities nat less.
Other funding schemes, ie. increased gas tax, do not aid transit
anly ha.ghway. The MVET is needed, it was promised, don't let
them take it away without a battle. A good transportation system
�, is needed to continue economic gra�rth,
-TRANSIT
, The Governor has suggested that about $5 1/2 million per year be
� deleted from the Regional T.ransit Board's state appropriation
request and be added to the property tax, Variaus studies have
� suggested that the property tax sugport 35� of the Transit cost.
It now sup.ports over �5�. How mueh more can it handle? MVET is
needed for transit. The metro area eauld be as bad or worse than
L.A., S.F., Chicaga, N.Y., ete. -- with traffie eonjestian by
� the year 2000 if we allow transit and highway funding to be
redueed. Gas tax does not support transit, only the generai fund
, or MVET daes. Highways alane cannot do the job. A working
transit system is an absolute must.

very close to Mendota Heights homes, and the impact
of increased trafizc at the intersection of

COUNTRY CLUB Mr. Ronald Lagerquist, project architect for the
WAREHOUSE proposed Country Club Markets warehouse, was
present to review a revised site plan and request
approval of a building permit for a new warehouse
building at 1460 Sibley Memorial Highway. Mr.
� Lagerquist stated that as the result of discussion
at the February 3rd meeting, the applicant has
agreed to eliminate some of the parking area to
provide more green space. He stated that all of
the possible roof area will drain off the roof to
the green area at the back of the structure instead
of to the hard surface.
In response to a question from Mayor Mertensotto,
Mr. Lagerc�uist stated that the paved area adjacent
to the building will not become a parking area for
semis, that there will be four loading.positions
used during the day plus a truck maneuvering area.
Councilmember Blesener stated that she still does
not like the plan, that the applicant is proposing
a great big parking lot with a block building and
Council is missing the opportunity to see that the
property is enhanced with more landscaping and less
blacktop.
Councilmember Witt moved approval of the building
permit based on the site plan submitted and subject
to approval of the building plans by the Code
Enforcement Officer.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Lagerquist stated that he feels the owner has
complied with all setbacks and reduced the parking
area. He pointed out that there is a timing
problem and asked that the permit be approved.
Councilmember Cummins stated Council's direction at
the last meeting that landscaping should be
provided to shield the structure from the road.
'Further discussion on the matter was tabled to
March 3rd. •

JOINT MEETING It was the consensus of the Council that the
proposed Joint Council/Planning Commission meeting
be conducted at 7:�0 P. M. on �?etrruary -,24-;. in the
Engineering Conference Room.
COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Cummins raised several zoning issues
which he felt need to be addressed: the front yard
setback for houses in areas where sidewalks are
installed; the language defining how houses are
aligned, particularly on cul-de-sacs; consideration
. of re-defining single family zoning to make the
minimum lot size 20,000 square feet, particularly
on the school district properties.
Councilmember Blesener suggested that the term
"high-density" should be eliminated from use, since
8 units per acre is not really high density.
. ,.
Councilmember Witt informed the Council that she
will be late for the March 3rd meeting.
PARK BOND ISSUE Administrator Frazell asked the Council for
direction on preparation of a draft memo of
understanding with the School District regarding
the proposed Henry Sibley Athletic Complex.
He brought up three issues: appraisals on the
Hildebrandt and West properties are necessary; the
School District owns only 3 rather than 8 acres of
land as they had indicated; what should be the
ownership interest of the City and the School
District. The Council concurred that the total
cost should be limited to $1,392,Oa0 and that the
City should order appraisals of the Hildebrandt and
� West properties. Council also discussed and gave
Administrator Frazell direction relative to
ownership interest.
ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the
Council, Councilmember Hartmann moved that the

JOTNT MEETING WITH PLANNING CQMMISSION & CITY COUNCIL
The special warkshop meeting with the City Council and
Planning Cammission was held at 7;fl0 P.M. irt the Engineering
Conference Room, on Tu�sday, February 24, 1987. The -
following members were present: Mayor Mertensotto,
CounciZmembers Biesener, Cummins, Hartmann and Witt.
Planning Cammissioners present were Chair Morson,
Commissioners Henning, Anderson, McManic�al, Duggan, and
Krebsbach. Burke had notified the Commission that he would
be unable to attend.
Mayor Mertensotta began by stating his feeling �hat
important issues in pianr�ing cases should be aired and
thoraughly discussed at the Planning Commission 1.evel, rather
than at the Council level. He said that he thought there
were too many peop2e who ignored the Pianning Commissi.an,
because they felt that the real decisions were made at the
Council level.
Councilmember'Cummins suggested that public hearing
notices advise the reader in bold face print when the anly
public hearing will be at the Planning Coxnmission level.
Mayor Mertensotto said the Planning Cammissi.on shauld
feel free to attach conditions or state concerns in making
its approvals, so that the Council. has benefit of that
thinking when it i� called upan to make a final decision. It
was also agreed among all present that th� Planni.ng
Commission should feai fres to take an extra month to iron
aut problem�, rather than �ending items on to the Council.
with unresalved issues.
Planning Cammissioner Hen�ning said that if the
Commissian feels that the Cauncii is c�bing to re-plan the �
work that i� already dane, it is diffa.cul�. for them to know
when a groject has ever gatten to the point of "perfection".
Planning Chair Jerry Morson added that the Commission could
4never pre-determine what the Cauncil would want.
Councilmember Cummins suggested that aesthetics was one
area where the Planning Commission and the Cauncil had been
somewhat aut of sync, and there was an agreement that even at
the sta�f level, more �mphasis should be put on aesthetic
concerns. City Administrator Frazell cautioned everyane to
remember that aesthetics i� a subjective thing, and that even
if the staff and Planning Gommission begin to �ut �nore
emphasis on that area, the Council is still c�oing to have it�
own ideas and preferences when the planning �.tems come to
thezr agenda.
Mayor Mertensotto then raised a concern that had been
expressed to him about the fact that the City is proceeding
with a parks bond issue, prior to amending its Comprehensive
Plan to delete the desi�nation for a community park in the
southeast area of the City. It was agreed that prior to
successful gassa�e of the referendum and an agreement with
the School District for the Henry Sibley complex, it would be
premature to amend the Comprehensive Plan. However, it was
agreed that the Council could �ass a resolution of intent to
redesignate the property for single family development when
the bond issue is passed.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:35 o'clock P.M.

Commissioner McManigal seconded the motion.
Minutes of the January 27, 1987 meeting had been
submitted previously, except Commissioner� xenning
and McMonigal stated they did not receive a copy.
Cammissi.oner Fienning moved that approval of the
minutes be tabled to the next meeting.
Cammissioner McManigal seconded the motion.
PRESENTATICJN Mr. Richard Putnam was pre�ent to explain Tandem
BY TANDEM CQRP.and Centex Corporation's propasal for dev�lopment
in the �outheast area of the Gity. He began by
discussing the proposed noise ardinance and its
- impact an th�e praposal , He then discusseci the
history of the southeast area comprehensive plan
amendment. iie then exp].ained his proposal by
first addressing park schemes for the development.
He noted that there will be two new neighborhood
parks and a trail system throughout the
development. Mr. Putnam e�lained that he has
been conducting neighborhood meetings ta present
his plan to affected neighbors, and that he has
modified his plans to address their concerns. In
par�icular, he has addressed the concerns of the
Patrick's who purchased the Pierce Bu�ler residence
and residents af Sunfish Lake who desire to have
single family homes alang their border an Delaware.
Mr. Pu.tnam e�Zained that an Environmental. Impact
5tatement is mandatory for the Centex site and that
that process takes �rom 4-6 months. They plan to
begin the EIS process immediately and hape that
City approvals could be sought concurrently and be
made canting'ent on successful completion of the
EIS.
Mr. Putnam then described and presented drawings of
the various bui].ding types, including single £amily
homes, townhouses, manor homes, condominiums and
0

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, FEBRUARY 24, 1987
apartments. He noted they would be built in a wide
price range from starter homes to more expensive
townhouses. He then presented his commercial
proposal for development at Dodd Road and Mendota
Heights Road.
Commissioner McMonigal asked where the pipelines
are that run through the property and what problems -
they could cause. Planner Dahlgren noted that
despite the recent accident in Mounds View, the
pipelines really are a very safe way to transmit
volatile liquids.
Commissioner Krebsbach asked what kind of market
study has been done and Mr. Putnam responded that
no matter what a market study says, there is a
great risk,in single family development, however,
Centex is completing a market study at the present
time.
Commissioner Duggan expressed concern about traffic
on Mendota Heights Road. Mr. Putnam referred to
the traffic study that was done for the southeast
area. Commissioner Duggan then expressed concern
over the density. Mr. Putnam explained that the
density was established with the southeast area
study and the reason he made the preliminary
proposal to the City Council is to reaffirm their
committment to the Comprehensive Plan change. -
He does not want to fight the battle of the guide
plan change over again.
Commissioner Duggan then asked what will happen if
the Metropolitan Council continues to hold up
development. Mr. Putnam responded that he will go
to the Metropolitan Council and the Governor if
needed, to get the Metropolitan Council to "stop
holding Mendota Heights hostage."
Planner Dahlgren noted that Tandem would have good
cause to go to the Governor because this hold up
has been excessively long and totally unreasonable.
� "� Mr. Dahlgren went on to say that densities for the
southeast area are really very low by other
communities standards and that Mr. Putnam's
proposal is lower than planned �or in the southeast
area study. He also stated that there will not be
a traffic problem on Mendota Heights Road. This
was pointed out by Traffic Consultant Jack
Anderson, in the southeast area study. The road
system has been well planned to handle traffic in
the area.
Commissioner Krebsbach asked about having noise
2

PZy�NI�TING COMMISSION MINUTES, FEBRUARY 24, 2987
wa31s installed along 494. Planrter Dahigren
responded that Mn/DOT will not construct noise
walls aiter the fact. The homes must already be in
place at th� time of raadway construction to have a
wall installed.
Commissioner Duggan asked that if the southea�t
area is not acceptable for single fami3y dwellings,
why is it wise ta put in more residential units?
Mr. Putnam respanded that it is wise �'or twa
reasons:
2. The people who live in multi-�amily homes have
a different life style than single family dwellers.
a, They are not outside as much.
b. They want to be where tlie action is, close to
freeways, so they can be more mobile.
2. People would nat build as expensive a home
alonc� a freeway, so if the area were developed
as szngle family, it would be a lawer ciass
development.
Planner Dahlgren stated that the best use for the
site would be cammercial and that is what Eagan has
done an their side af the freeway.- _ -
After Mr. Putnam Ieft the meeting, there was a
con�inued discussion among the Commission members
with member Duggan generally speaking against the
development, He ultimately stated that he realized
that high density residential development would be
approved for the area, but that he was going to
continue ta press for higher quaiity and lawer
den�ity development.
VERBAL REVIEW Public Work� Director Danielson gave a verbal
review of cases that had gone before the City
Cauncil.
MISCEZ,LANEflUS Chairman Marson stated that he had noticed that the
remaining Strub property was for sale and asked
what could be done'with the property. Planner
Dahlc�ren explained that the Strub site was iocated
within an appraved PUD area and if the property was
not to be developed according to the approved pZan,
it would need to have a totally new PUD approval
process.
ADJOT.TRN There being no �urther business ta come before the
Comrnission, Cammissioner McMonigal moved that the

DISCUSSION
Mr. Paul Katz, 1855 Hunter Lane, has made application to

under the Modification Section of the CAO, which allows by-
passing the Planning Commission for minor development and
' allows City Council to grant the CAO modified site plan
approval. •
ACTION RE�D
If Council wishes to implement the staff recommendation,
they should pass a motion approving the CAO review.

SUBJECT: Review with Mn/DOT District 9 Officials of Mendota
Interchange and Victoria Avenue/TH 13 Projects
At Council request, Mn/DOT District 9 officials have
been asked to be present at the March 3 meeting to discuss
latest plans for the Mendota Interchange project.
Specifically, we have been concerned about the access of
Acacia Boulevard to TH 55, and Council will want to focus on
that issue with the Mn/DOT officials.
We have recently learned that District 9 and Dakota
County have come to an informal agreement about upgrading and
re-alignment of Victoria Avenue. Specifically, we understand
that the County will acquire the right-of-way to reroute
Victoria west around the-Standarcl Station and Mn/DOT will
pick up the construction cost. Council will also likely want
to discuss this project with the Mn/DOT officials, since it
reflects on the thinking of the Joint Mendota
Heights/Lilydale Committee, and impacts the proposed Victoria
Place Patio Homes project that the Caren Road neighbors are
opposing.

of research into two-way cable and videotex as a marketing vehicle,
and experience working with a corporate video studio producing
training and communication tapes for a sales force. My community
_ involvement in Mendota Heights includes the ECFE Advisory Council

of the public access channel.
I look forward to hearing from you about this opportunity. I can be

MEMO
February 25, 1987
TO: Mayor, City Cauncil and City A i ator
FROM: K2a�ton X. Eckles
Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: Sewers, Water,
Stratford Woods
Jab Na. 862&
Improvement No.
INTRODUCTION
Streets
86, Project No. 13
The purpose of this report is to determine the aosts
necessary to serve the Stratfard Woods subdivisian with sanitary
sewer, watermain, storm sewer, and streets. The Subdivision
consists of 13 new single �amily lots. The averac�e lot size is
appraximatel.y 21,000 square feet in area. In add�tion to the 13
lots in the subdivision, a 1.4 acre parceZ owned by Ange].ine
McDonald will also be served. On the �lat this parcel i� shown as
an exception. The follawing is a detailed discussian of-the cast�s
associated with each o�' the utilities, followed by an examinatian
of the method of assessing the costs.
UTILITIES
Sanitary sewer wi11 be i.nstalled ta serve aIl 13 lots and tha
McDonald Iot to the south. The only �'easible method of serving
the lots is by extending the sanitary sewer at th� end o�
Stratford Raad. Approximately 850 feet of' sanitary main will be
required. The cost to install the sewer main, services, and
appurtenancesf will be about $49r260, including overhead, fees,
and contingencies.
Watermain must alsa be instai.led to serve the subdivision.
There are existing watermains at�the end of Stratford Road, and
along Vzctoria Road, and a watermain to serve this develapment
will connect up to both to form a loop. The cost of installing a
watermain systern to serve the development as �hown on the attached
plan, will be approximately $48,270, including overhead, fees and
contingencies.
Due ta the existinc� terrain features, an extensive storm
water drainage �ystem will not be required. It will only be
necessary to install several catch basins in the street, and storn�
0
pipes to carry the water north to the existing holding pond. An
easement from the north edge of the development to the edge of the
holding pond will be required for this storm sewer pipe. The
total cost of constructing the storm sewer as shown on the
attached plan will be approximately $25,410.
In order to �rovide access to the development, a through
street and cul-de-sac will be constructed as shown on the attached
drawing. The streets will be standard design, 33' wide with
concrete curb and gutter and a 60' right of way. The position of
the street allows for future development of the McDonald lot at
the south east corner of the subdivision. The total cost of
street construction will be approximately $69,370.
CONSTRUCTION COST SUNIMARY
ITEM COST
Sanitary Sewer $49,260
Watermain $48,270
Storm Sewer $25,410
Street $69,370
TOTAL $192,310
ASSESSMENTS
� The entire cost of constructing the utilities for this
development will be assessed against the Subdivision and against
the McDonald lot. Standard assessment procedures (total front
footage and area) will be used for dividing the assessments among
the Stratford Woods subdivision and the McDonald property. Based
on the calculated front footage, the per front foot cost will be
$27.11 for sanitary sewer, $26.56 for watermain, $32.92 for
streets. The cost of the storm sewer, based on the total square
footage, will be $0.0756 per square foot. The following is a
table of the Total assessments:
PARCEL
ASSESSMENT
Stratford Woods $166,820
McDonald Property� $25,490
TOTAL
$192,310
PER LOT ASSESSMENT
$12,830 * 13 lots
divide into 2 or 3
In addition to the above assessments, there are deferred
assessments already on the Stratford Woods parcel. The total
amount due on the deferred assessments is about $9,000 in
principle, and $9,000 in interest. The developer has requested
that the these deferred assessments be spread out evenly against
the 13 new lots. However, City policy stipulates that the total
back charges of interest be paid at the time of replatting, and
that all deferred assessments be paid, except for the amount that
would be the balance if there hadn't been a deferment. Thus, the
City can spread the final three years of the asse�sments, which
have been deferred far 26 years, but this amounts ta only about
$l, 500.
RECOMMENDATION
Based an the informatian contained in thi,.s report and the
attached drawings, it appea.rs that it is Eeasible and desirable to
serve the Stratfard Woads Subdivisi.on and surrounding areas with
publzc utiiities in the manner shown on the attached drawings, and
Sta�f recommend� Council ta order a public hearing for the
project. Staff recommends the pubZic utilities be funded 100a by
assessments, and these assessments be computed ba�ed on the �ront
footage served.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council wishes to implement the staff's recommendatian
they shauld pass a motian adopting Resolution No. 87- ,
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING ENGINEER'S REPORT AND CALLING FUR AEARING ON
PROPOSED SANITARY SEWER, WATER, STORM SEWER, AND STREET

will keep �he costs for each job totally separate by doing them an two
segarate schedules. .

MEMO
CITY QF MENDOTA I�EIGIiTS
February 25, 1987
To: Mayor az�d City Council -
Fram: Kevin Fra , �`ity Administrator
Re: Resolution af Inten� Concerning De�ignated Use of
School Forest Property a.n the Southeas�. Area
BACKGR{3UND
The City's existing Compr.ehensive�Land Use P1an shows a
parcel of property in the �authea�t part o�f the City as
designated for future development of a community athletic
facility. The area is referred ta as the Schoal Forest site.
According to the 1979 Plan, this �acility was to be
complimentary ta another an the Wachtler property in northern
Mandata Fieights. The Park designation of the Schoal Forest
site wa� replicated in the Southeast Area Plan amendment
adopted by Cauncil in 1985, althotzgh it was acknowledged that
the property might never be put ta that u�e.
Over the pa�t two years, the Farks Commission a�►d Council,
assisted by consultants from Bartan-A�hman, have completed an
in-depth review of community recreatianal facility needs,
and alternative ways to meet those needs. The result is a
specific develapment program to be put before the voter in a
bond referendum on April 22st.
The Barton--Aschman study analyzed seven potential sites �or a
community athletic camplax. The recommendation from this
study was to pursue a joint develapment effort with School
District 197 on the Henr� Sibl�y cau�pus. The advantages were
several, including creating recreation opportunities for
Sibley students, generally goad topography, several
faci3ities already in place, excellent acc�ss, and most
importantly, potential for very signi�icant cost savings,
bath in initial development and in an-going maintenance.
Specifically, going with the Henr�r Sibley site will save
roughly $500,000 oE land acquisitzon costs aver any ather
site, including the School Forest area in sauthea�t Mendata
Heights.
DISCUSSION
A question has been raised as �o whether the bond referendum
program as planned is in canflict with the existing
..
Comprehensive Plan, since deve2apment of the Sibley site
would mean the Schaol Forest site would not likely ever be
developed, and whether the Comprehensive Plan should be
amended prior to the band referendum. My answer is na, �or
the following reasons:
1. The Henry Sibley campus in shawn on the
Comprehensive Plan as "School", and the land -
zaned R-2, Residential and R-2A, Rural Resislential.
Parks and playgrounds are an allowed use in all
residential da.stricts. Also, although the existing
Plan di,d nat contemplate a communa.ty park at Sibley,
the text does express an ideal for locating parks
adjacent to school facili.ties.
2. It wauld be premature to change the Comprehensive
Plan designatian until. we are sure
that the Sibley Gomplex will became a reality. Not
anly do we need a successful referendum, but we have
yet to enter a final agreement with the Schaol
Di�trict. Should the Henr� Sibley alternative '"fall
through" the Parks Commis�lon and Counci.l will have
to reconsider the community athletic complex
opportunit�.es, including the possibility af the
School Forest site. . �
3. We understand that Schoal District 197 is
contemplating the sale of a porta.on af their
property (84+ acres}, but reta�.ning same, �
possibly the "Park" site, as a potential future
location �ar an el.ementary school. Until the
District has zuade that date'rminatian, it would be
impossibla to decide which partion, if any, of �he
praperty shauld remain de�igrrated for "Schoal." The
School board will be consi.dering this matter in the
near future. '
As Cauncil is aware, the Parks Commission is planning an
extensive publi.c education campaign, including neighborhood
meetings with slide show, the distribution of a brachure, a
special edition of the Heights Hilites, and numerous press
releases. All voters w�ll have ample opportunity to become
familiar with the proposal prior to April 2zst, so it is
doubtful that the change from the existing Comprehensive Plan
will Iead to any serious confusian.
Ma�ror Mertensotto has suggested that in arder to allay
neighborhood cancerns about the future use of the School
Forest property if it does not become a Park �ite, that the
Cauncil adopt a resolutian statinq its intention to process a
Plan amendment redesign.ating it far Single-Family
Residential or Schaol, This would be cansist�nt with
statements made by the Council at the time of adopting the
Southeast Area Plan in the Fall of 1985. Such a resolution
M1}
is attached for yaur consideration.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Gouncil concurs with the Mayor's recommendation, it should
pass a motion adopting the attached resolutian. -

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO. 87-
RESOLUTION EXPRESSING INTENT TO CONSIDER AMENDMENT OF
t THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN
WHEREAS, the City's existing Comprehensive Land Use
Plan, including the Southeast Area amendment passed in
October, 1985, designates an approximate 32 acre parcel
(indicated on the attached map) known as the School Forest
site for future development as a community athletic facility;
and
WHEREAS, based on the recently completed Parks study, it
has been determined that a preferable and much more cost
effective alternative is joint development of an athletic
facility on the Henry Sibley High School campus, done in
conjunction with Independent School District No. 197; and
WHEREAS, the City will be holding a parks bond
referendum on April 21, 1987, with a portion of the proceeds
therefrom to be used for the Henry Sibley site development;
and
WHEREAS, if the referendum is approved on April 21st,
and the City and School District proceed with the Henry
Sibley development, there will be no need in the forseeable
future to develop the athletic facility on the School Forest
site.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Mendota Heights that, by this resolution, the Council
expresses its intent that, if the referendum passes and the
Henry Sibley development proceeds, the Council will
immediately initiate a Comprehensive Plan amendment to re-
designate the School Forest site for Low-Density (i.e.,
single family) Residential use or School use.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights
this 3rd day of March, 1987.

DISCUSSION:
In 1986 money was budgeted far a new 33,000 G.V.W. single axle dump
truck. to replace a 1970 model, We wauld lilce to advertise far bids. As
yau recall we did receive bids in October. The specifications had bean:
written around a 1985 demo truck. After opening bids we decided to reject
them and rebid a I987 model which wi11 be approximately the same price.
Estimated cost for the truck is $65,000 and funded by equipmen.t certif icates.
Attached herewith are specifications for the truck and dump body and
appurtenances. The truc:c aad the dump bady and appurtenances will be
bid separately, hopefully to receive better bids.

SUBJECT: Special ANIlK Membership Meeting to Adopt Policy on
Fiscal Disparity
INTRODUCTION
When the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities held
its legislative adoption session late last year, a policy on
fiscal disparities was not successfully adopted. Since that
time, additional committee work has ensued, and the Board of
Directors has recently adopted a recommended policy which it
would like to submit to the membership at a special meeting
on Thursday, March 12, 1987. It is uncertain whether fiscal
disparities will become an issue in this legislative session,
but the ANIIK Board feels that we must have a policy in place
so as to be prepared to respond in the event the issue does
come up. The purpose of this memo is to alert Council to
this policy, and give you an opportunity to comment.
DISCUSSION
Briefly, fiscal disparities is a tax base sharing
program which was adopted for the 7-county metropolitan area
in 1971. Under the plan, 40% of the assessed valuation from
all increase in commercial and industrial property valuation
in the 7-county area since 1971, is placed in a central �
fiscal disparities "pot", then redistributed to communities
on the basis of a rather complicated factor, including
"fiscal capaci�y". Under the program cities can generally be
categorized as "gainers" or "losers", and their feelings
about the program generally reflect that status. Mendota
Heights is a"loser" community, with a net assessed valuation
loss of approximately $3.5 million. This results in us
having to levy an additional .6 mill for City government.
Complaints about the program, particularly from the
"loser" communities have primarily been two. First, that
value �rior to 1971 is exempt, which penalizes the newer
communities that have had most of their c�rowth since 1971.
Second, that the 40% contribution ratio is too high, and will
grow dramatically over the next few years as the cities that
d ^i
are already the major contributors will continue to have much
of the commercial and industrial growth in the metropolitan
area. With this in mind, the ANIlK, and its subcommittees have
worked diligently to come up with a compromise policy that
remedies some of the most serious concerns.
Attached is a description of the proposed changes and
the proposed legislative policy. Major changes which would
be of interest to us include:
1. A phase in of the pre-1971 base value at 5% per year
for the next 20 years.
2. A 2% per year reduction in the contribution ratio
for 5 years until a level of 30% (versus the current
40%) has been reached.
3. A phase in at
ratio of 85%.
Dakota County,
currently the
source of real
other counties
ratios.
3% a year to an equalized assessment
This is of particular benefit to
because our assessment ratio is
lowest in the metropolitan area, and a
contention with local governments in
that have much higher assessment
If Council has questions about any of the other provisions of
the legislative policy, I will be prepared to answer those at
the Council meeting.
� The ANIIK Board adopted this recommendation almost
unanimously last week. I personally feel that it is a very
good compromise between the "losers" and the "gainers". The
net effect will not be so much to reverse current patterns of
contribution and gain, but to constrain the rate of growth in
the contribution formula which would otherwise be there in
future years under the existing legislation.
Councilmember Blesener is our designated voting delegate
to ANIlK, with Councilmember Hartmann the alternate.
ACTION REQUIRED
Council should ensure that someone is present to vote
our position on the legislative policy, and to offer any
comments it wishes to the voting delegate.

proposal for your consideration. The new
proposal was approved by the AMM Board
on February 19th. at special meeting.
PLEASE NOTE:
A. This notice has been mailed to Mayor, Designated
Delegates and Managers/Administratures. Copies of
the proposed fiscal disparities policy have been
mailed to the Chief Administrative Official only
for distibution to Mayors and Councilmembers.

FROM:
AMM Members
Bob Thistle, President
Walt Fehst, Chairman - Revenue Committee
SUBJECT: Fiscal Disparities Recommendations
1. Background. Based on membership action at the November 6, 1986
meeting to refer Fiscal Disparity (F.D.) Policy back to the Revenue
Committee, a small technical committee was formed by President
Thistle and Chairman Fehst to form a recommendation for Revenue
Committee action.
2. Committee. The committee, chaired by Neil Peterson, Bloomington,
included Bob Bocwinski, Columbia Heights; Charles Darth, Brooklyn
Park; Barry Johnson, Minnetonka; Gene Van Overbeke, Eagan; and Dick
Asleson, Apple Valley. The committee met three times and was
monitored by John Anderson, Shakopee; Diane Lynch, St. Paul; Larry
Lee, Bloomington; Bill Barnhart Minneapolis, and Jeff Van Wychen,
Minneapolis who also provided computer runs. �
3. Recommendation. The sub committee made recommendations to the
-�' Revenue Committee which met and after some modification has
- recommended the attached policy that has been changed as follows:
a. The Committee reached an implied agreement that the program was
intended to narrow the disparity in taxable base rather than'rates
which imply mill rate which has variable meanings based on location
and/or local options. Therefore tYie word BASE replaces RATE in
the bold type policy.
b. The Committee unanimously agreed to eliminate G-5 central
administration based on the fact that Anoka County indicated a desire
to continue administration and there is not evidence that a change is
needed.
c. Specific recommendation for F.D. factors were to modify the
policy on TIF contribution and contribution rate. The contribution
rate to be reduced by 2% per year for 5 years to 30�. Existing pre
1979 TIF value to be held harmless until the existing bonds are paid
with only new value created through issuance of new debt to be
subject to the F.D. contribution.
183 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 55101 (612) 227-5600
second policy issue is the rate of contribution. The AMM feels that
40� is too great especially if the base against which it is applied is
expended. Each variable factor has a major impact on a certain subset
of cities and thus changes must be done carefully.
THE AMM MEMBERSHIP SUPPORTS MODIFICATION OF THE FISCAL DISPARITIES
FORMULA THROUGH INCLUSION OF SEVERAL FACTORS AS A WHOLE. ANY CHANGES
OTHER THAN THOSE REFERENCED IN AMM GENERAL FISCAL DISPARITIES POLICIES
OR SPECIFIED HEREIN OR ANY DELETION OR SIGNIFICANT MODIFICATION OF A
SPECIFIC FACTOR LISTED HE�EIN WILL RESOLT IN THE AMM OPPOSING ANY
FISCAL DISPARTIY LEGISLATION UNLESS OTHERWISE AUTHORIZED BY THE BOARD
OF DIRECTORS.
FORMULA FACTORS:
-PHASE IN 1971 BASE YALUE AT 5� PER YEAR FOR 20 YEARS FOR CONTRIBUTION
PURPOSES. THE BASE VALUE FOR SOUTH ST. PAUL SHOULD BE THE CURRENT
VALUE.
-EXEMPT ALL VACANT LAND FROM CONTRIBUTION.
-CONTRIBUTION YALUES SHOULD BE EQUALIZED TO 85� BY INCREASING THE
PREVIOUS YEARS RATIO BY UP TO 3� OR THE CURRENT RATIO WHICHEVER IS
GREATER.
-THE SALES RATIO FACTOR SHOULD BE BASED ON A SAMPLE WHICH IS
STATISTICALLY SOUND TO REFLECT ACCURATELY THE REALISTIC LEVEL OF
ASSESSMENT. THIS MAY INCLUDE USING 9 COUNTY WIDE AVERAGE IF AN
APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF SALES HAS NOT OCCURRED LOCALLY. USE OF THE
MEDIAN RATHER TflAN AGGREGATRE RATIO SHOULD BE ADOPTED SINCE THIS
MEASURE IS GENERALLY MORE REFLECTIVE OF LOCAL ASSESSING PRACTICES AND
IS LESS SUBJECT TO WIDE VARIATIONS OF SALES.
-REDUCE THE CONTRIBUTION RATE BY 2$ PER YEAR FOR 5 XEARS UNTIL 30$ HAS
BEEN REACHED. ALL CONTRIBUTIONS THEREAFTER WILL BE AT THE RATE OF 30�.
-THE FISCAL CAPACITY FACTOR SHOULD BE MODIFIED TO INCLUDE
MANUFACTURED HOUSING AND UTILITY VALUE.
-THE POPULATION AND TIMES TWO MULTIPLIER SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE
DISTRIBUTION FORMULA gS MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION FACTORS.
-THE TWO DIFFERENT POPULATION YEARS USED TO CALCULATE THE PER CAPITA
MARKET VALUE AND DISTRIBUTION SHOULD REMAIN 6S THEY ARE CURRENTLY
WITHIN THE FORMULA.
-EXISTING VALUE IN PRE 1979 TIF DISTRICTS SHOULD REMAIN EXEMPT FROM
FISCAL DISPARITY CONTRIBUTION UNTIL EXISTING DEBT HAS BEEN RETIRED.
NEW VALUE CREATED WITHIN THESE DISTRICTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH NEW DEBT
ISSUED SHALL BE SUBJECT TO FISCAL DISPARITIES CONTRIBUTION.
G-4 TOTAL DISTRIBUTION
There has been some suggestions made to utilize the fiscal disparity
formula as a mechanism to create a separate transportation or
development fund by only distributing 90� of the tax dollars raised.
This would be a hidden property tax.
THE AMM STRONGLY OPPOSES USE OF FISCAL DISPARITIES TO CREATE A
METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTAITON, HIGHWAY, OR DEVELOPMENT FUND.
I-G FISCAL DISPARITIES
G-1 TAX BASE SHARING PROGRAM
The basic premise for the need for a tax base sharing or tax base
redistribution system in this Metropolitan Area, is that much
commercial and industrial (C/I) development occurs based on location
and/or availability of land or particular services. If the seven
county Metropolitan Area were one political and economie unit, such as
the Houston or Omaha areas, the growth of C/I development in any part
would benefit the whole equally and tax base sharing would be
unnecessary. However, in this area with 139 cities plus many townships
and school districts that is not the case. Thus, there are many cities
that because they are fully developed with no room for expansion, or
they are located away from the center of activity without appropriate
services, or have space but are inconvenient from major transportation
facilities cannot attract C/I development. Whereas, others, more
favorably located or serviced cannot keep C/I development away. This
creates a situation, in general, where the tax base value per area,
per household, or per capita is higher, and the taxing ability of the
governmental unit greater, allowing a lower tax rate or collection of
more dollars to provide serviee. This, also, creates a situation where
two identical C/I facilities could have a large disparity in their
property tax rates.
THE AMM SUPPORTS A PROGRAM OR PROGRAMS WHICH CONSTRAIN TAX BASE
DISPARITIES IN THE METROPOLITAN REGION WITHIN A REASONABLE RANGE
WITHOUT STIFLING LOCAL INITIATIVES OR UNIQUE COMMUNITY NEEDS.
G-2 OPPOSE DRASTIC CHANGE
To compensate for these disparities, the 1971 legislature passed the
Fiscal Disparities Act, with a rather complicated formula, whereby �40�
of all C/I development and inflation growth from 1971 on is contributed
to a Metropolitan Pot and redistributed based on population and fiscal
capacity. After 15 years of operation, the magnitude of distribution
values .both in terms of net value decrease and net value increase is
significant for many cities. If fiscal disparities were repealed in
total with no replacement or adjustments, property taxes in many cities
would increase very significantly just as they would decrease in
others.
BECAUSE THE MAGNITUDE OF FISCAL
NET VALUE INCREASE AND DECREASE
AMM SUGGESTS THAT NO CHANGES BE
YEAR SHIFTS IN PROPERTY TAXES.
G-3 FORMULA MODIFICATIONS
DISPARITY DISTRIBUTION IN TERMS OF
TO MANY CITIES IS SIGNIFICANT, THE
MADE THAT WOULD CAUSE DRASTIC SINGLE
The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities has spent two years of
committee work studying the fiscal disparities formula and the affects
of variou.s modificications to that formula. There are basically two
major policy issues that need to be dealt with in a package to
accommodate the majority of cities. The first is a fairness or equity
question that deals with issues such as the 1971 Base value exemption,
equalization of the contribution, minimum distribution, etc. The

SUBJECT: Tax Forfeit Properties
INTRODUCTION
The County Auditor annually notifies us of parcels of land within
the City which are about to be �orfeited to the State for non-payment
a�' taxes. We have just received the forfea.ture li�t from the Cozantyr
along with their request for approval of' the non-conservation land
classificatian so that the properties may be sold at auctian this
spring. I have discussed the matter with Jim Danielson, and we concur
that there i� no lega.timate publ.ic need for the properties, there£or
ther� would be no legitimate basis for requesting that any af the
properties be classified as conservatian for transfer to Gity
owner�hip.
INFORMATION
All fifteen properties included on the list are within the
Victar�.a Town Homes (PUD) p].at located on Victaria Road. t�nly one
bl.ock of the plat has been developed into tawnhomes in accordance with
the PUD, and tho�e three lots are the only ones within the plat which
are nat on the farfeiture list. Roughly estimating, delinquent
a�ses�ment and asses�ment interest payments due on each o�' the 15 lots
are ap�roximately $8,000. The minimum sale pri.ce which will be
established by the Auditor will exceed the assessment abligations, and
the City will receive all delinquent assessmen�s on the lats which are
sald. This is, of course, assuming that the current praperty owner
does not make arrangements with the County Board far phased payment o�
a11 delinquencies.
To m� knowledge, this is the fa.rst time we have ever experienced
tax forfe�.tures within a planned unit development. Auditor Narma Marsh
has informed me that �nder �.he �arfeiture proceedings each of the Iots
within the plat must be sold to the highest bidder. I have a�ked her
to have her �tai�' inform anyone inguiring about th� properties that
bu.ilding permits will only be issued far structures which conform to
the approved PUD, Hopefully either the current owner will repurchase
or a•developer will �urehase a11 af the lots. In any event, City staff
will be given direction on how to respond to individual. inquiries.
RECOMMENDATIONLACTION �UIRED
I recommend that Cauncil approve the nan-conservation
classificatian a� requested. If Council cancurs in the recommendation,
it shauld pass a motion approving the cl.assification and authorizing
Mayor Mertensotto ta execut� the County's Certificate af C1.assification
