Nordmarken v. City of Richfield, 641 N.W.2d 343 (Minn. Ct. App. 2002); Lilly v. City of Minneapolis, 527 N.W.2d 107 (Minn. Ct. App. 1995). Minn. Stat. § 410.33. Minn. Stat. ch. 412. See Handbook Part VI. Minn. Stat. § 275.75. CHAPTER 4 A. Broad grant of powers The following list of powers of home rule charter cities is not complete or all- inclusive. Many powers of charter cities are discussed in more detail in other chapters of the LMC Handbook. A home rule charter may provide any municipal powers the Legislature could have delegated to the city, as long as the powers are consistent with state statutes. A number of city charters have attempted to do this. Under such a grant, the charter may authorize the city to provide for medical clinics, public transit, and industrial parks. It may authorize any of a range of public enterprises as long as they do not involve the use of public funds for an unconstitutionally private purpose. The limits depend more on public policy than on the lack of home rule charter power. A city, however, even one organized under a city charter, has no inherent powers—only such powers as are expressly conferred by statute or are implied as necessary in aid of those powers. If a matter presents a statewide problem, the implied necessary powers to regulate are narrowly construed unless the Legislature has provided otherwise. If a charter is silent on a topic that Chapter 412 or another statute addresses for statutory cities, home rule cities may usually apply the general law on the subject. If, however, general law prohibits a charter from addressing the matter or provides that the charter prevails over general law, the home rule city may not apply the general law. 1. Taxes Presumably, a charter may grant a home rule city power to tax although the state has largely pre-empted two local non -property taxes: the sales tax and the income tax. State law has historically provided some differences between home rule charter cities and statutory cities in property tax levy authority. For example, the Legislature allowed charter cities, for the years 2004 and 2005, to exceed their charter limits or referendum requirements for levy increases if the increased levy was needed to offset reductions in city local government aid. However, state imposed levy limits still applied. 4-16 HANDBOOK FOR MINNESOTACmES
