CITY- OF ST. ANTHONY <br /> REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br /> • Date Submitted Type of Action Requested Agenda Item Number <br /> Resolution Reports-4c <br /> September 21 , 1983 Ordinance <br /> Date Action Requested X Formal Action/Motion Title Municipal Caucus <br /> Other <br /> September 27, 1983 Membership <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br /> TO: Mayor and Councilmen <br /> FROM: David M. Childs, City Manager <br /> ------------------r----------------------------------------------------- <br /> SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF SUBJECT: The attached memo -is a request that the City <br /> become a member ot the unicipa aucus, formerly the Metro Losers Group. <br /> St. Anthony lost big in the 1983 session, unfortunately, with 153 losers and 702 <br /> gainers statewide - we are in a minority. Minneapolis and St. Paul have been doing <br /> their "homework" with the legislature and without a strong counter effort by the <br /> suburbs, we stand to lose more in coming sessions of the legislature. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: The cost is $200.00 per year, but our local government aid <br /> losses or 1985, 1986 and 1987 will be over $60,000 each year. This means <br /> that based on the information that I presently have, we won' t receive any local <br /> local government aids in 1987. Actual computer runs are not yet available and this <br /> is a worse case situation, but since nobody understands the formula, my guess is <br /> as good as anybody' s. <br /> ALTERNATIVES : Join and be active or decline to join and lobby individually. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that we join the group and continue a 1 1 of our <br /> efforts to find a local government aid formula for Minnesota that is both fair <br /> and intelligible.
