ID3. UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
A. Continue Discussion on Paid In Lieu of Taxes
Finance Director Iverson started the meeting by explaining how the data staff collected was compiled.
She indicated the data collected from the Sheriff and Fire Department was entered into a GIS mapping
application and reports on that data were prepared for FPAC. The data was then grouped based on the
total call times. She explained that the mobile home park has a large call volume compared to the rest
of the City and brings in a large amount of fiscal disparities dollars to the City as well.
Mayor Grant asked what the per capita impact of the mobile home park was on fiscal disparities.
Director Iverson indicated she would research this and get back to the Committee.
Jim Ostlund asked what the actual cost per call was for the Sheriff and Fire Department. Director
Iverson reported that she has sent the past expenses to the GIS coordinator so that they can create a
report on the average cost per call based on land use type.
Jim Ostlund then brought up the question of what off duty employment consisted of. He asked staff if
they could research this and get back to the Committee at the next meeting. He also asked staff to
check on the large number of calls that are located at the Ramsey County site and what they consist of.
Arlene Mitchell asked which properties in the City were tax-exempt and asked a list be printed out
showing just the tax-exempt properties. She also questioned if the list could be sorted showing the
larger entities vs.the smaller entities. Ms.Mitchell indicated she could then look up the market value
of each property type if she could get a list of the properties. Director Iverson stated that she may be
able to have the GIS coordinator provide that data,however,was unsure if that data was gathered when
she collected the original data from Ramsey County.
