(See <br />Attachment A to these minutes). <br /> <br />Mr. Hartley stated that all cities, counties and school districts in the seven count), metro <br />area are required to publish in the Minneapolis Tribune or St. Paul Pioneer Press, a one- <br />quarter page ad and the contents of that ad is provided for by the Department of Revenue. <br />They indicate that cities, school districts and counties are supposed to publish the change in <br />percentage in property tax that will result from this year's individual levy for each of the <br />respective jurisdictions. In man5' cases, the school district reduction in tax levy is about the <br />same amount as the increases for cities and counties. The reason for that is that the newly <br />adopted tax bill by the Minnesota Legislature required there to be a shift in Local <br />Government Aid funds from cities and counties to the school districts. As a result, the), <br />also required that the notice be published. That publication is verb' misleading.
