I think this information is some of what Rebecca was saying, at the March <br />meeting, is important as education to the public on any suggested charter language change. <br />I'm aware of the classification differences. What is the fiscal disparity amount assigned to Mounds View? And what is <br />the tax capacity rate for 2021? <br />Cheers, <br />Brian Amundsen, 763-786-5699 <br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />On Wed, 28 Apr 2021 13:36:33 +0000 <br />Mark Beer <mark. beer@moundsviewmn.org> wrote: <br />> Morning Brian, I started with 2020 and 2021 as they are the most <br />> current data and I have the actual tax capacity rates.
