By Ramsey answering no to that question, she did not believe <br />that the City will be losing any aid. She stated that the City does utilize the task reporting system <br />for making many decisions. Ramsey is not trying to avoid local performance issues but we want <br />the state to know that it's not fair to ask the City to reduce it's tax levies at this time. Staff is <br />asking that we present the certification with a letter from the Mayor expressing the City's reason <br />for answering no to this question. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Beyer and seconded by Councilmember Beahen to sign the <br />Certification of Local Performance Measures for Local Performance Aid Payable in 1998, and to <br />answer no to affirming that local performance aid will result in a reduction in property taxes <br />along with a letter from the Mayor explaining this action. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
