A RESOLUTION CONCERNING
MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL AID FORMULA
WHEREAS, the 1975 Minnesota Legislature adopted anew formula
for allocation of State funds to local government communities and
that formula consists of three factors; namely, population, last
three years average mill . rate, and sales ratio, and
WHEREAS, the population factor in the formula is defined in
the law as being the 1970 Federal Census, and
WHEREAS, many municipalities in the metropolitan area have
shown significant increases in population since 1970 and many
municipalities have shown decreases in population since 1970 , and
WHEREAS, distribution of state funds on the basis of out-
dated population statistics result in an unfair distribution of
funds because of the erroneous data used in the formula with
respect to population.
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, -that the City of St.. Anthony does
hereby encourage the legislators representing St. Anthony to
sponsor and- support legislation in the 1976 Legislative Session
that would accomplish the intent of either of the following
alternative policies:
1. The Legislature should modify the population factor
of the local government aid formula to use the 1970 Federal
Census, whichever is higher, provided that the -Metropolitan
Council estimate shall not be used as a basis for determining
aid in the calendar year after a special census if the special
census is less than such estimate.
2. The Legislature should modify the population factor
of the local government aid formula to use for each
community the 1970 Federal Census or the most recent
Federal Census if a Federal Census has been conducted since
1970 in any municipality.
Adopted this 10th day of February 1 76 .
