MWAM- E. *J.nOverbeke - City Clerk J We believe the report makes constructive suggestions to the Legislature for improving Minnesota's property tax structure. Key recommendations of the report include: * State funding for property tax relief programs should increase annually-to keep pace with inflation and to prevent rapid increases in tax burdens. * The difference between tax burdens for low value homes and high value homes should be narrowed and property tax burdens for business property, nonhomestead residential property and apartments should be reduced. * Homeowners' property tax statements should accurately reflect property tax relief paid for by the state. * Funding for transition aid (the replacement for the homestead credit program) and other property tax relief money should be reallocated to achieve desired taxpayer outcomes. These property tax relief funds could be distributed through the following types of programs: 1. a homestead relief program that provides relief directly to homeowners; 2. a new tax base equalization program that equalizes the ability of local governments to finance services; and 3. a local government aid program. * Disparity reduction aid amounts should be grandfathered as provided for under current law. The League Coordinating Committee will continue to meet during the legislative session. The law firm of Briggs and Morgan prepared the Coordinating Committee report and will update the report with 1989 data when it becomes available. If you would like further information about the project or have questions or comments on any of the recommendations, please contact any member-of the Coordinating Committee (list attached) or Laurie Fiori Hacking at the League.

Mayor Ellison observed that perhaps it should be done in the future. Mark Simpson, 3980 Lexington Avenue South, claimed he was assessed twice. He informed the Council that the current assessment exceeded past assessments. Public Works Director Tom Colbert commented that he would research the matter and resolve any discrepancies.

Mr. Colbert stated it was hard to draw limits. Councilmember McCrea questioned if the power lines could be installed underground. Mr. Colbert stated there would probably be cost participation. McCrea supported the construction on one side only and recommended the east side. She questioned the difference in the assessment rates. Mr. Colbert explained various methods used to derive the rates. McCrea urged the education of the community on the safety of the bike trails. Mayor Ellison stated the project was needed because of the expansion in Eagan and that this particular area was the fastest growing area in Eagan.
