of Item 8. Rl~~l MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Patrick D. Klaers, City 'n' trator DATE: April 20, 1995 SUBJECT: Legislative Update The City Council received a brief Legislative update at its last meeting on April 17, 1995. This Legislative update centered on the senate tax bill and house proposals relating to TIF. As of today, there is no new information on these two topics to offer, however, I anticipate that more, and new information will be available by the meeting on April 25, 1995. The League of Minnesota Cities puts together its • Legislative updates on Friday's, and cities usually receive this information on Monday's. Accordingly, the City Council can expect a verbal update from me next Tuesday on legislative issues. Attached for your information is the most recent League of Minnesota Cities - Cities Bulletin on legislative issues dated April 14, 1995. This update highlights the senate tax bill and offers a summary of other bills that have recently been introduced. Most of these new bills relate to financial issues. It is somewhat typical to see a lot of funding bills introduced late in the legislative session, but it seems like we are seeing more than the normal number of these bills in this legislative session. We know from past experience that only a few of these bills, or only a few parts of these bills will actually become law. The big concern and unknown is which bills and which parts of bills will eventually make it into a law. • s:council:legupdat 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
