This would be similar to the sanitary, storm and <br /> water user fees which cities can now use to fund improvements. <br /> A bill is being introduced through the League of Minnesota Cities for this enabling <br /> legislation. This legislation would allow cities to decide, for themselves, if they wished to <br /> have this user fee. <br /> As you know, special assessments are becoming very difficult to use as a method of funding <br /> road-improvements. More and more people are challenging the benefit to their property. <br /> The user fee would provide cities with a,more equitable tool to fund road improvements. <br /> Please look the iesolutiof, over a,d consider asking your City Councils to pass it as soon as <br /> possible. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> MAIER STEWART & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> Thomas J.
