Weltzin f�7 WSMOUNDS VIFvi <br />Subject: Gravel Tax Distribution �Z111�G% <br />Date: February 16, 1983 <br />KENNETH E. WELTZIN <br />Director <br />and <br />County Engineer <br />PHYLLIS F, SPECKER <br />Administrative Assistant <br />Attached is a copy of a resolution which this department will present to <br />the Public Works Committee with a request that it be reconmended for County <br />Board adoption. <br />' The gravel tax legislation, which mandates in part that counties impose a <br />production tax on the removal of aggregates from pits, quarries, or deposits, <br />and that 30 percent of the receipts be distributed to the municipalities <br />within the county, does not define a method for apportioning receipts to the <br />municipalities. This department has conferred with the Executive Director's <br />Office and the Department of Taxation and has agreed that the formula set <br />forth in Laws of Minnesota 1977, Chapter 402, concerning the apportionment <br />of certain county funds to the municipalities is a fair and equitable method <br />of distribution. <br />This is the formula we are recommending to the Public Works Committee and <br />County Board. If you have any comments concerning this formula for distribution, <br />please submit them to me in writing by Thursday, March 3, or if you prefer you <br />may appear at the Public Works Committee meeting to voice your opinion. The <br />next Public Works Committee meeting will be held at 7:30 a.m., Monday, March 7, <br />Room 356, City Hall and Courthouse. <br />The total anticipated revenue from the gravel tax for 1983 is $59,500; the 30 <br />percent to be distributed to the municipalities is estimated at approximately <br />$18,000. Based on this estimated amount and our proposal, we have prepared a <br />statement showing estimated revenue to the municipalities, <br />pfs:js <br />Att: Suggested Resolution <br />Estimated Revenue Sheet <br />Resolution 82-879 <br />' CC: Comnissioners <br />..400.4 <br />
