8 <br /> * Modify the distribution formula definition of fiscal capacity to include personal <br /> property, such as utilities or manufactured homes. (The contribution side currently <br /> includes utility property.); <br /> * Direct South St. Paul to contribute to the pool using its 1989 value as the base <br /> value; <br /> *Eliminate the "factor of two" minimum distributions, and provides a phased in <br /> loss of distribution schedule; and <br /> * Direct that the distribution index now will use the same population year that the <br /> capacity calculation uses. <br /> XL Local Government Services Sharing and Combination Services <br /> This program was established to provide financial incentive to local units of <br /> government to jointly provide services or to combine their services into a single entity, as <br /> well as combine separate governments into single units. Among the highlights: <br /> * Service Sharing Grants: Any city, town or county jointly with other units(s) <br /> may apply to the Department of Trade and Economic Development(D-TED) for a grant <br /> equal to the start-up costs for shared services. The application must include: 1. the <br /> proposal for jointly providing a service,2.projections of cost savings and increased <br /> efficiency, and 3. evidence of the need for financial assistance to meet start-up costs for <br /> the new endeavor. <br /> * Cooperation and Consolidation: This program provides for two or more <br /> contiguous units to combine services for two years and then combine into a single <br /> governmental unit. The plan submitted to D-TED must describe joint activities, how the <br /> merger would be accomplished,the form of the post-merger governing body, service or <br /> facility changes,personnel and administrative changes,revenue and expenditure <br /> projections, tax levy differential and a timetable to accomplish the merger. Voters would <br /> have two years to pass a consolidation referendum. Up to $100,000 per year for four <br /> years in additional aid will be available for implementation. This money must be repaid <br /> if the merger is not accomplished per the voters. <br /> A total of$1.5 million was appropriated with at least 40 percent dedicated <br /> initially to the cooperation and combination program. <br /> XII Miscellaneous Changes l <br /> Sales_tax is extended to dedicated phone lines, telephone paging services, <br /> services and massage services. Sales tax is repealed on massage parlour admissions, and <br /> tree and shrub planting services(although sales tax does apply to landscaping items). <br /> A surcharge of$7.50 is imposed on each contract for car,van or pick-up truck <br /> leases of 28 days or less. <br /> The so-called "Yuppie" sales taxes were not enacted. <br /> Cooperative electric associations are included in the set of utilities upon which <br /> cities may impose franchise fees, but rates are not limited as they were in the initial <br /> House bill. <br />
