City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota <br />Management Report, Page 2 <br />— <br />RECENT LEGISLATIVE ACTIONS <br />— <br />The State legislature has made a progression of changes in funding cities. The most <br />significant changes started with the 1988 legislative session and continued through the 1991 <br />— <br />session. Appendix A of this report presents a summary of this legislation and an estimate of the <br />initial year impact on 1) cities - Statewide; and 2) the City of Lino Lakes. <br />Cities must be concerned with at least three aspects of the changes which restructure funding <br />as follows: <br />• The impact of the changes to city funding statewide compared to your City. If your <br />City is less favorably impacted, the ability to maintain basic service and to retain a <br />competitive posture with surrounding communities may erode. <br />• Replacement funding is critical if State aids are severely reduced. Property tax limits <br />coupled with State aid cutbacks could be a financially devastating combination. <br />• Long -range planning cannot be effective if funding levels and sources are not <br />stabilized. The State has needed to revitalize its financial position periodically (the last <br />major crisis was in 1981). The method of achieving the desired result is to pass the <br />financial crisis to local units of government. It becomes difficult or impossible for <br />cities to commit to programs when threats of retroactive funding cuts loom. <br />
