17 the basis for the fiscal disparities distribution formula is
18 very old and it has been recognized that it needs updating.

16 Planning and Zoning Institute. He will also be participating
17 at a similar function to be held at North Hennepin Technical
18 Institute .
19
20 Councilmember Marks represented the City at the National
21 League of Cities Conference in Washington , D. C. While there he
22 attended a Civic Visioning Seminar which used Rock Hill , South
23 Carolina as an example of visioning.
24
25 Leaders in Rock Hill looked at its City in six areas in this
visioning process for turning the direction of the City
49 around. In 1970 there had been thirteen textile mills
28 operating successfully in the City and they were the largest
29 employers in the area. By 1980 all of these mills had closed,
30 the economy was depressed and the City ' s tax base had
31 virtually disappeared. It ' s neighbor in North Carolina offered
32 serious competition to the economic future of Rock Hill .
33
34 Councilmember Marks explained how a two year plus process
35 turned the City around and it is now enjoying success in such
36 areas as environment , education and historical as well as
37 other arenas . Forty new industries have been attracted to the
38 City . Also, Rock Hill did a "female" David which has been used
39 very effectively as a marketing tool . No final report has been
40 compiled on these efforts as it is being viewed as an on-going
41 process . He saw possibilities for St . Anthony for using some
42 of the Rock Hill strategies .
43
44 Councilmember Marks also attended forums which addressed the
45 President ' s economic stimulus package which was presented by
46 former Mayor Latimer and Henry Cisneros , a former NLC
47 President and a member of the President ' s cabinet . Part of the
48 package included the addition of 100 , 00 new police officers in
49 the country, revamping of the human services agenda and
50 delivery, and having a partnership with all levels of government .

13 were two concerns of participants discussed at this workshop .

16 National League of Cities where presidents addressed the
17 delegates . He felt no other president had inspired the
18 delegates as much as President Clinton . He presented his
19 economic plans and made his comments without the benefits of
20 notes . It was also noted that the NLC Board of Directors have
21 endorsed the President ' s plan . Councilmember Marks did not

6 Minutes from these neighborhood meetings were included in the
7 Council agenda packet . Estimated improvement cost summaries
8 drafted by Maier Stewart and Associates were also included in
9 the packet . The City Manager noted that estimates are
10 typically high.
11
12 The City Manager advised that when bids are received the
13 Council will hold a public hearing to determine if there will
14 be a project . Councilmember Fleming inquired if a public
15 hearing could be held before the bids are gotten . The City
16 Manager felt this would not be advisable as only estimated
17 costs would be available for discussion . He feels that
18 property owners prefer to have actual costs .
19
20 The City Manager recommended that all of the projects be bid
21 as a package thereby affording the City the best possible
22 rates . The Council could then consider each street in the
23 package project by project .
24
25 Discussion continued regarding the assessment policy and how
�6 actual assessments are determined . It was noted that the
7 assessment formula addresses all unusual sized lots and
28 frontages . This includes double lots , curves and corner lots .
29
30 An appraisal firm had been employed to draft opinions of the
31 market value contribution which may be realized from each of
32 these street improvements to adjoining properties . The
33 appraiser ' s letter stated his observations are preliminary and
34 not a formal appraisal .
35
36 The City Attorney advised that if there are court cases
37 resulting from these assessments an appraisal would be
38 required. He noted that special benefit to a given property
39 must be equal to the amount of the assessment .
40
41 The City Attorney stated that the City ' s fifty-fifty split of
42 costs of assessments plan is supported by the appraiser and is
43 in keeping with the law. He noted that while there is no
44 formula for this in the law the courts want fairness to the
45 benefitted property owners to be a primary concern when
46 determining the amount of an assessment . He also stated that
47 if the formula produces an assessment which appears to be way
48 out of line for a particular property, the City Council can
49 adjust this when it adopts the assessment rolls .
