league of rninnesot oities January ]2, 1981 TO: City Clerks FROM: Joel Jamn~ RE: Revenue Sharing As you know, general revenue sharing has been extended by Congress for an additional three year period. The level of funding for the local government share, and the formula for allocation of funds to local governments are the same as in the past. Because of the late date at which the law was passed, a few procedures will be slightly different for the January distribution. 1. Statement of Assurances The Office of Revenue Sharing mailed the "Statement of Assurances" form to cities in late November, 1980. Make sure that your city has signed and returned this form. ORS will not be sending out acknowledgments of receipt of this form as they have in the past. However, they will be making a second mailing to cities which did not respond to the November mailing. Please note: The "Statement of Assurahces" fommust be signed and returned in order for the city to receive revenue sharinq. 2. Time of payment ORS will be mailing checks to cities in early January. Cities who returned the "Statement of Assurances" before December 25 should be included in this mailing. A second mailing of checks will be made in late January to those cities whose "Statements of Assurances" were not received by ORS in time for inclusion in the first mailing. There will also be a third mailing in February. If you are in doubt as to whether you will Eileen Barr LL50 Metro Square Bldg.
