After the creation of the district, the City would have <br />the authority to construct and to maintain capital improvements and to levy a <br />tax for the costs. The improvements can be financed through the issuance of <br />bonds which are payable primarily from the proceeds of the tax levied on the <br />district. One disadvantage of storm water improvement districts is that tax - <br />exempt properties do not contribute to the funding of the improvements even <br />though they often generate significant storm water runoff. <br />The Pavement Management Financing Report did not assume that the City <br />would receive any state or federal grants to pay for a portion of the costs. <br />However, there are a limited number of grants that could be used provided the <br />projects meet the requirements of a specific grant. These would include <br />Community Development Block Grants funded through the State and projects <br />that could be funded with federal funds through inclusion in the State <br />Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) for the local MN DOT District in <br />which the City is located. Grants are generally both limited in availability and <br />competitive and are not a reliable source of financing the PMR on an annual <br />basis. <br />There are currently 18.9 miles of County State Aid Highways (CSAH) and 9.56 <br />miles of county roads within the City. None of these roads are included in the <br />PMR. However, the Pavement Management Financing Report assumes Anoka <br />County will participate in the financing of the traffic control devices where City <br />and County transportation routes intersect each other. <br />Municipal State Aid (M.S.A.) The allocation of State Aid monies to urban municipalities is made on the basis <br />Funds of a legislative formula pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 162.07 and 162.13. <br />Under this formula, municipal state aid funds are apportioned to cities based on <br />both money needs and on population. Fifty percent of the monies are allocated <br />according to a needs study which is a report of the estimated construction costs <br />required to improve the state aid system to standards adequate for future traffic. <br />Each municipality's needs apportionment is determined as the prorated share <br />that its needs bear to the total needs of all state aid eligible cities. The <br />remaining fifty percent is allocated to each municipality based on population <br />with each state aid eligible city receiving the prorated share that its population <br />bears to the total population of all state aid eligible cities. <br />3 <br />- Springsted <br />- 1 9 2 - <br />City of Lino Lakes - Pavement Management Plan Financing Repo <br />
