If a town or a city entirely within one county has a 1980/1981 levy limit base per capita in column 7 which is below 85% of the average 1980/1981 levy limit base per capita of its county, shown in colum 9, application may he made to the Levy Limitations Review Board to have its 1980/1981 levy limit base adjusted by an amount sufficient to increase the town or city's 1980/1981 levy limit base per capita to 85% of the average. If a joint city has a 1980/1981 levy limit base per capita in column 7 which is below 85€ of the average 1980/1981 levy limit base per capita of one or more of the counties containing it, shown in column 9, application may be made to the Levy Limitations Review Board to have the city's 1980/1981 levy limit base adjusted. For each county where the city's 1980/1981 levy limit base per capita is below 85% of the average, the difference between 85% of the average and the city's 1980/1981 levy limit base per capita would be multiplied by the portion of the population of the city in that county; and this amount would be added to the 1980/1981 base. To apply for a 1980/1981 levy limit base adjustment under Minnesota Statutes, Section 275.52, Subdivision 4(d) from the Levy Limitations Review Board, address a letter requesting the adjustment to me. Ordinarily, a town or a city requests that the levy limit base adjustment be the largest amount possible, since once it has received a base adjustment under Minnesota Statutes, Section 275.52, Subdivision 4(d), it cannot apply for another base adjustment under any of the clauses of Subdivision 4. However, if a city or town received an adjustment to 80% of the county average levy limit base per capita prior to June 1, 1979, and its 1980/1981 levy limit base per capita is below 85% of the county average, it may still avail itself of this one time opportunity to increase its levy limit base per capita to 85% of the county average. To assist this Division in scheduling meetings of the Levy Limitations Review Board and in calculating the 8% levy limitations, the application for a levy limit base adjustment should be received by the Department of Revenue prior to August 1, 1980. The members of the Levy Limitations Review Board are the Commissioneroof Revenue, the Chairman of the Minnesota Municipal Board, and a public member appointed by the Governor. Representatives of the town or city are not required to attend the meeting of the Board to recieve this base adjustment. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
