4 <br />2002 Tax BILL Curs <br />EFFECT CITY <br />On June 30, 2001, the State <br />Legislature passed its 2002 tax bill. For <br />the City of Ramsey, the bill implemented <br />significant changes in the amount of aid it <br />receives. Effective January 1, 2002, the <br />City will no longer receive Homestead <br />and Agricultural Credit Aid (best known <br />as HACA) in the amount of $527,997. <br />The State Legislature also imposed a <br />significant reduction in the amount of <br />Local Government Aid (LGA) that the <br />City of Ramsey will receive in 2002 by <br />$93,087. To make up for this aid <br />shortfall, the State is allowing a special <br />levy to be placed on the Ramsey <br />residents 2002 property taxes. In short, <br />the State's cuts will be made -up by the <br />City of Ramsey's tax - paying residents. <br />The added special levy will be <br />as such: <br />HACA - $ 527,997 <br />LGA 93,087 <br />Total Levy $ 621,084 <br />The City will also be greatly <br />affected by the 2002 tax bill in that levy <br />limits are implemented for 2002 and <br />2003. This places great restrictions on a <br />growing city such as Ramsey, in that <br />additional services and personnel will be <br />significantly restricted. <br />LOWER RUM RIVER <br />WATER MANAGEMENT <br />ORGANIZATION <br />The Lower Rum River Water <br />Management Organization meets on the <br />third Thursday of each month at 8:30 a.m. <br />in the Committee Room of Anoka City <br />Hall to discuss storm and surface water <br />issues affecting Ramsey, Anoka, Andover <br />and part of Coon Rapids.
