time, they invited this contractor to stop by Mrs. Vigen's property and provide a bid for the repair, <br />in light of the difficulties Mrs. Vigen was experiencing in locating a contractor. He stated he was <br />currently awaiting this information. He stated they should attempt to complete this repair as soon <br />as possible, as the line has been leaking for three weeks. He stated the hole is getting bigger, and <br />they are possibly losing thousands of gallons per day. <br />Mayor Coughlin expressed his appreciation to Director of Public Works Ulrich for going above and <br />beyond what was required of him, in his efforts to coordinate and obtain bids for Mrs. Vigen. He <br />added that these matters were out of the purview of his job. He stated he appreciated his going the <br />extra mile to assist this resident. <br />There were no further requests or comments from the floor. <br />10. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />A. Senator Steve Novak Legislative Wrap Up. <br />Senator Novak stated he appreciated the invitation to come before the Council. He stated he <br />attempted to do this every year at the end of the Session, to provide a review of the Legislative <br />Session, and to answer any questions the Council or anyone else might have regarding the results <br />of the session in relation to state and local issues. <br />• Senator Novak reported that the state of the state is "pretty darn good." He added this comes from <br />someone who has watched state budgets come and go for many years. He stated this was based upon <br />the traditional barometers utilized to gauge the state's economy, the budget, the tax policy, and so <br />forth. He stated that he does not know of a time that was better, and that this was part of a three-year <br />trend in that direction. <br />Senator Novak stated most Minnesotans, depending upon where they work, and how they receive <br />their paychecks, had probably noticed a change in their withholding tables. He stated this reflects <br />the permanent tax cut, which probably received less discussion than the rebate, however, has the <br />more significant impact going forward over time, because it is permanent. He stated all three rates <br />in the income tax system of the state were cut significantly, and the result of that is permanent tax <br />relief. <br />Senator Novak stated, within the next week to ten days, the question he had heard since last fall, <br />regarding when the rebate check will arrive, will finally be answered. He stated this would happen <br />sometime before the end of the month of August. He stated this was always the schedule of the <br />rebate, although it had become somewhat confusing at times. He stated this matter is governed by <br />the practical application of revenue department computers, than it is by any grand scheme or a <br />particular campaign promise. He stated the rebate represents the same amount of money as the <br />permanent tax cut, which is approximately 1.2 billion dollars. He stated the difference is significant <br />in that the rebate is one-time money coming in, and one-time money going out in the form of a <br />rebate. He stated this is the third rebate within the last three years. He stated the first two rebates <br />were related to the property tax, and this rebate is related to sales and income tax tables.
