She appreciated the transparency of the breakdown of portion of property <br />taxes that go to the City. She thought a piece that was important for the residents to know is in <br />the General Fund budget, only thirteen percent of the City's revenue comes from local <br />government aid from the State. On the flip side sixty percent comes in the form of property tax <br />levy. She asked Mr. Rueckert to review the fluctuation in local government aid and how that has <br />impacted City budgets. <br />Ms. Rueckert reviewed the history of local government aid in the City. <br />Councilmember Randle indicated when he looked at the budget, he looked at the difference <br />between how the taxes are between the City and School and there is not much difference. He <br />wondered if there was any information regarding how the difference is between other districts. <br />Ms. Rueckert indicated quite often this is almost split equally into thirds if everyone was blended <br />together. It seems like the County is generally a third, the City is a third and the School District <br />is generally a third. She noted it all can change over time and move back and forth. She thought <br />they have been somewhat consistent in the sharing the last few years and she has not compared it <br />to other cities. <br />No one from the public wished to address the City Council <br />There being no additional public input, Mayor Stille closed the public hearing at 7:28 p.m. <br />Motion by Councilmember Walker, seconded by Councilmember Randle, to approve Resolution <br />20-088; a Resolution Setting the Final 2021 Tax Levy and General Operating Budget for the City <br />of St. Anthony Village. <br />Motion carried 5-0. <br />V. REPORTS FROM COMMISSION AND STAFF. <br />A. Resolution 20-089: a Resolution Approving a Request for a Final Plan Stage PUD for the <br />Interstate Development Multi -Family Residential Project of 38 Dwelling Units at 3725 <br />Stinson Boulevard NE. <br />City Planner Grittman reviewed the resolution with the Council. <br />Councilmember Jenson explained targeted audiences for this project or people that rent are <br />people that are the lower end of the earnings scale, forty thousand dollars or less per year, which <br />equates to twenty and hour. The units are going to be small but very nice and a good place for <br />people just starting out. He thought since they are targeting this income range, it is a way to get <br />
