STATE OF MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE Mail Station 2240 St. Paul, MN 55146-2240 October 15, 1987 Mr. Kenneth H. Huber City Administrator City of Hugo 5524 Upper 146th Street North Hugo, MN 55038 Dear Mr. Huber: I have considered the appeal which you submitted for a payable 1988 levy limit base adjustment ' for the city of Hugo, along with your letter of September 10, 1987. Your city's appeal of $108,305 is based on the $709000 cost of a surface water management study and the $38,305 cost of bridge and road maintenance. The costs to metro area cities of developing watershed management plans is the cost of complying with Laws 1982, Chapter 509. This is a recent state mandate that requires many metro area cities to prepare a watershed management plan by December 319 1987. The remaining item, bridge and road maintenance, is not an allowable reason for increasing your city's levy limit base under the new levy limit law and the "Levy Limit Appeal Guidelines." This Is not the cost of complying with a 1987 or previous year's mandate of the Minnesota Legislature requiring a new program or service by 1987 or 1988, nor is it an extraordinary or emergency expenditure. For this reason, I am approving a reduced payable 1988 levy limit base adjustment in the amount of $70,000 for the city of Hugo. Enclosed is a revised payable 1988 levy limitation calculation form for the city of Hugo. The $70,000 base adjustment is shown on line 9. The city's revised levy limitation of $526,581 is shown on line 12. A revised Form 280 for the city of Hugo is also enclosed. The new $5269581 levy limitation is shown on line 4. This replaces the July 17, 1987 levy limitation certification. If you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact me.
