Because of the complexity of aid <br /> formulas and questons related to the purpose LGA should serve as well as the diverse <br /> membership opinions, the A:14M has not adopted a distributions formula policy. The <br /> organization does support LGA funding tied as a percentage to general state -revenue <br /> or sales tax revenue and the Board has adopted a policy urging an in depth long <br /> term legislatively supported study to develop a formula that is understandable, <br /> practical, and equitable. However, the Boe.rd would like to be in a position of <br /> reacting if appropriate to various current proposals including the most recent <br /> Governors Budget formula. Staff has been directed to gather better data on various <br /> proposals and seek clarification of projected results as depicted in computer runs <br /> • supplied by the state or ' proposing agency. As an example, the February 18, 1983 <br /> (1%1o. 6) LMC Legislative Bulletin published a list supplied by the state of aid that <br /> cities would receive in 1984 using the Governors proposed distribution.
