.1985 LGA DISTRIBUTION (AMM BOARD OF DIRECTORS POLICY) <br /> The 1983 LGA formula changes coupled with the already growing dissatisfaction <br /> over the 1979 LGA formula results has caused much dissension and bitterness <br /> among city officials in the state resulting in various coalitions forming to <br /> lobby extremely diverse points of view. There will almost certainly be major ; <br /> changes considered in the 1985 legislative session for 1986 and beyond LGA <br /> distributions. The current distribution formula causes an accelerated <br /> differential or disparity in aids to individual cities which.will only be <br /> greatly increased if left in place for 1985 distribution. Therefore, it is <br /> reasonable that until long range policy decisions are made and formula changes <br /> are enacted in the 1985 legislative session, the current formula be suspended <br /> for 1985 distribution and in its place a percentage increase be granted to <br /> all cities. This can.most certainly be justified to inhibit' larger 'than <br /> necessary property tax increases from occurring sporadically in some cities <br /> within the state. <br /> THE ASSOCIATION OF METROPOLITAN MUNICIPALITIES URGES THE 1984 LEGISLATURE. TO <br /> ADOPT AN LGA DISTRIBUTION FOR 1985 THAT INSURES THAT ALL CITIES WILL RECEIVE • <br /> THE AMOUNT ALLOCATED FOR 1984 PLUS A .6% INCREASE. <br />
