I I CITY OF ARDEN lULLS .. MEMORANDUM DATE: June 3, 1997 I TO: Mayor and City Council I FROM: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrat~ I SUBJECT: Certification of Local Performance Measures for Local Performance Aid Payable in 1998 I Backrround During the 1996 Legislative Session, the State adopted a law which provided for a new state aid for all cities beginning in calendar year 1997. This new aid was called Local Performance Aid I (LP A). Minnesota Statutes, Section 477A.05, provides for LPA. In order to qualify for this new aid, a I city must have a system of performance measures for services provided by the City, and must regularly compile and present these measures to the City Conncil at least once each year. Arden Ie Hills can still qualify for this aid if it is in the process of developing and implementing a system of performance measures. However, eligibility based upon being in the process of development may not be used for more than two consecutive years. In order to receive our LP A in 1997, we I indicated to the State we were in the process of developing a system. The City still does not have a system of performance measures in place. By adopting the I attached resolution, the City is once again committing to preparing a system for 1999. Staff has begun working with other cities to discuss methods of measuring performance. Several city representatives will be meeting at the annual League of Minnesota Cities Conference to continue I efforts on the development of performance measures which can be used by most cities. The specific amount of LP A to be received by Arden Hills in 1998 is not available. Depending I upon the language included in this year's tax bill, some changes may occur which affect the level ofLPA to be received. I Recommendation Staff recommends the adoption of Resolution #97-30, Approving Local Performance Aid. I BF/sls I tI I
