A RESOLUTION CONCERNING DAKOTA COUNTY ROAD AND BRIDGE FUNDS
(As It Affects Levy Limits)
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 457 of Minnesota Laws of 1959, Dakota
County presently distributes 35 percent of its road and bridge tax levy to
Cities in Dakota County based on their individual taxable valuation; and
WHEREAS, said legislation provided that Dakota County may make such
distribution; and
WHEREAS, this City desires to remove the uncertainly that technically
exists with respect to this important source of funds in its municipal budget;
and
WHEREAS, it appears appropriate that the levy limit of Dakota County
should be reduced and the levy limits of each Dakota County City be increased
for the purpose of allowing each City to make the tax levy rather than Dakota
County.
N014 THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of.
Lakeville, Dakota County, Minnesota, as follows:
1. That said road and bridge levy by Dakota County has served the
purpose and intent set forth in the law above referenced.
2. That this City should be able to determine levy needs directly
rather than receiving appropriations from Dakota County tax
levies.
3. That this City does support legislation which would reduce the
levy limit of Dakota County and increase the levy limit of each
City in Dakota County in such amounts to be in accordance with
amounts distributed by Dakota County in 1978, it being the in-
tent that the spendable dollars of neither Dakota County nor
Cities in Dakota County would change.
4. That the intent of the draft legislation attached to this re-
solution as Exhibit A is hereby approved.
5. That this City does urge the Dakota County Board of Commissioners
to also support said legislation.
6. That the City Clerk shall immediately transmit a certified copy
of this resolution to the Dakota County Board of Commissioners.
ADOPTED this 20th day of February, 1979.
