YEAR & <br />STATUTE <br />REFERENCE <br />CITY OF LINO LAKES. MINNESOTA <br />STATE LEGISLATIVE ACTION <br />Appendix A <br />Page 4 of 11 <br />INITIAL YEAR <br />ESTIMATED <br />IMPACT <br />1991 HF 1698 #23 Created the local government trust fund to be used <br />Art. 2 Section 2 exclusively to pay local governments for inter - governmental <br />aid and to repay advances made by the State's general fund <br />as may have been required to make all required payments as <br />provided by law. If revenues of the trust fund are <br />insufficient to pay commitments, all commitments to local <br />governments will be proportionately reduced unless other <br />provisions have been made. If the estimated receipts of the <br />•. trust fund exceed estimated payments by $1 million or more <br />the appropriation from the trust fund to each inter- <br />governmental aid program would be increased <br />proportionately unless there are specific provisions which <br />prohibit such increase. <br />The creation of the <br />local government <br />trust fund will impact <br />the City of Lino <br />Lakes only if the <br />estimated revenues of <br />the fund fluctuate <br />significantly from <br />estimates. Revenue <br />shortfalls should be <br />budgeted to anticipate <br />cuts late in the <br />operating year. <br />Budget practices <br />should therefore be <br />amended to consider <br />a factor for a possible <br />reduction based on <br />suppressed economic <br />conditions in any <br />given year. <br />1991 HF 1698 <br />Art. 2 Section 1 <br />#22 Establish the advisory commission on inter- <br />governmental relations with an initial membership of twenty <br />through July 1, 1992. After July 1, 1992 the commission is <br />reduced to fourteen members. The commissioners are to be <br />representative of the various geographic and governmental <br />jurisdictions of the State. <br />The commission is in <br />a "advisory" position <br />to the legislature. As <br />such the commission <br />has little or no power <br />and therefore cannot <br />directly impact the <br />State or the City of <br />Lino Lakes. <br />Prepared by Voto, Tautges, Redpath & Co., Ltd. <br />June 20, 1991 <br />
