    Eric Willette & Nick Greene For Mayors LGA Advisory Group June 8, 2012
  2. Road Map Overview
  3. Purpose / Goals Review What we think we’ve heard so far Provide property tax relief Ensure ability to provide core services (esp. public safety and public works) Increase reliability and stability Recognize diversity of needs and capacity Encourage innovation and cooperation Simplify formula
  4. Cluster Background Clusters group cities according to region, size, property wealth, income and growth patterns Updating needed but still show general trends For ease of use, we’ve combined clusters into 3 metro and 5 Greater MN categories
  5. Cluster Background, Part 2
  6. Distribution Formula Overview Current need-capacity formula Aid bases
  7. Local Government Aid Per Capitaaverage 2008-2010 All city per capita average = $103

  25. Median Household Income (2010) and LGA Per Capita (2008-2010)
  26. Wrapping Up LGA cities raise less property tax with higher tax rates and spend more Property tax base is more uniform than sales tax base among cities Higher spending on public safety and public works is correlated with several overburden measures
  27. Wrapping Up (continued) Cities have diverse needs and capacities What you measure depends on the program goal or goals Multiple goals and many variables results in a complicated formula A more simple formula must ignore some relevant differences among cities
