CC Regular Session 4. 10. <br />Meeting Date: 12/13/2011 <br />By: Kurt Ulrich, Administrative Services <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Adopt Resolution #11-12-XXX, Resolution Requesting No Change in Fiscal Disparities <br />Background: <br />This item was reviewed by the City Council at the November 22, 2011 work session. <br />A report on fiscal disparities was presented to the Finance Committee on October 25, 2011. Included in the report <br />was an attachment titled City of Ramsey Fiscal Disparities Contribution/Distribution Value 2011 through 2012. <br />That document is attached to this case. <br />The City received a letter from Anoka County requesting that the City of Ramsey pass a resolution requesting no <br />change in fiscal disparities. The letter stated that there may be an effort to dismantle the fiscal disparities program <br />and if eliminated, most homeowners and business property tax statements in the Anoka County area would see an <br />average increase of 10% on the combined city/school/county taxes. Without fiscal disparities, an approximate total <br />tax increase on a $200,000 residential homestead in Ramsey, for 2011, would be $38 (City), $156 (School District <br />#11), and $36 (Anoka County) for an approximate total of $230. (The example shows only the largest school <br />district within the City). She noted this would also result in more disparity in the entire Metro area. <br />Anoka County passed a resolution requesting no change in fiscal disparities at their October 25 County Board <br />meeting. That resolution, amended for Ramsey City Council adoption, is attached for review. Following adoption, <br />staff will forward the resolution on to Anoka County to allow for them to communicate a united message to <br />Legislators for the upcoming Legislative Session. <br />Council Action: <br />ADOPT RESOLUTION # 11-12-XXX, RESOLUTION REQUESTING NO CHANGE IN FISCAL DISPARITIES <br />fiscal disparities <br />fisc disp res <br />Inbox Reviewed By <br />Kurt Ulrich Kurt Ulrich <br />Form Started By: Kurt Ulrich <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Final Approval Date: 12/08/2011 <br />Date <br />12/08/2011 03:55 PM <br />Started On: 12/08/2011 03:46 PM <br />
