ANNOUNCEMENTS/UPDATES <br /> <br />Administrator Larson reported that the State Legislature have adjourned for the year and <br />noted that several bills had been passed: allowing cities to again receive Local <br />Government Aid (LGA) with the City receiving ±$50,000 and local city government’s <br />ability to be tax exempt upon purchasing certain items; however, excise tax on vehicles <br />would not be exempt.
