<br />STORM SEWER
<br />TAXING DISTRICTS
<br />Proposed to be established in Ramsey
<br />
<br />The City of Ramsey is holding a hearing on the
<br />establishment of two Storm Sewer Taxing Districts
<br />on Tuesday, April 15, 1986 in the Ramsey Municipal
<br />Center at 7:30 p.m. The two districts are outlined on
<br />the map below.
<br />The following questions and answers are intend-
<br />ed to help clarify what the Storm Sewer Taxing
<br />District is and how it would work.
<br />
<br />Q. How are the boundaries set for the storm sewer
<br />district?
<br />A. The City's Engineer determines where storm
<br />water drains from and identifies the boundaries
<br />or ridges of that drainage district, much like the
<br />continental divide is defined, but on a much
<br />smaller scale.
<br />
<br />Q. Why does the City want to have storm sewer
<br />taxing districts?
<br />A. The storm sewer taxing district can make it
<br />possible to relieve the several drainage pro-
<br />blems within those areas and pay for the
<br />related cost by selling bonds (borrowing
<br />money). The bonds are in turn paid for from
<br />taxes which are levied over a broad area (the
<br />taxing district).
<br />
<br />Q. Why doesn't the City use special assessments
<br />like other public improvements?
<br />A. Special assessments can be one option but
<br />when used with storm sewer projects, they tend
<br />to be less fair than a taxing district. You see,
<br />the common method of specially assessing
<br />storm sewer is by applying an assessment bas-
<br />ed on area or acreage to a relatively small area,
<br />while the storm sewer improvements really
<br />benefit a much larger area which is better
<br />defined as a taxing district.
<br />Q. Why not use City-wid~ taxes to pay for the
<br />storm sewer work?
<br />A. Storm sewer projects don't always benefit the
<br />entire community and the process for selling
<br />bonds (borrowing money) is very costly when
<br />done on a City-wide basis.
<br />Q. Does this mean that if storm sewer im-
<br />provements are made outside of my district,
<br />that I don't have to pay for them?
<br />A. Yes; provided that the improvement does not
<br />benefit your district.
