Elk River, MN - Official Website <br />in the state as it is, too cheap to even put on <br />fireworks. I'm on the verge of leaving this area as <br />it is, do this and that just might be the final straw. <br />$3,000.00 + in taxes on a moderate home at best <br />and now you want more. You're on the right track <br />to drive everyone away and I just might be the <br />first. <br />Mar 19, 2013 8:27 AM <br />Flag as Inappropriate Reply <br />91 Jim <br />2 points <br />State law doesn't allow to charge this directly so <br />do the honorable politician actions and ram it <br />down our throats on a reverse end around play. <br />Mar 23, 2013 8:13 AM <br />+0 Flaa as Inappropriate Reply <br />Justin, Elk River City Engineer <br />37 points <br />Understanding the limitation of <br />existing funding options available to <br />Minnesota cities for their street <br />maintenance programs, the State <br />Legislature is currently working on a <br />bill (SF 607 and HF 745) that would <br />allow for the direct billing by a City for <br />a Street Maintenance Fee. This same <br />idea has been discussed at past <br />legislative sessions but has yet to be <br />passed and signed into law. <br />As a city we are not trying to pull a <br />"reverse end around" but rather be <br />fully transparent and informative of the <br />reason the franchise fee is being <br />considered. The process that we are <br />proposing has been, and continues to <br />be, used by many other cities <br />throughout Minnesota. <br />Mar 29, 2013 11:02 AM <br />in Flap as Inappropriate <br />Page 10 of 13 <br />http:// mn- elkriver. civicplus .comICommunityVoicelldeal City- Street - Pavement - Managem... 04/11/2013 <br />
