LEAGUE of <br />MINNESOTA <br />CITIES <br />May 22, 2023 <br />CITY OF Centerville <br />Attn: Administrator <br />1880 Main St <br />Centerville, MN 55038-9701 <br />Dear Mayors and Administrators, <br />Greetings from all of us at the League of Minnesota Cities! Over the course of the past five and a half <br />years, I've had the chance to get to know many of you in my travels around the state or at an event <br />through my service as deputy director at the League. Today, I'm writing to you in my very first day in a <br />new role — executive director. I'm deeply passionate about the work of our organization and greatly <br />value the partnership that we have with you and our 836 member cities across Minnesota. <br />I'm writing to let you know that at its most recent meeting, the League's Board of Directors approved a <br />preliminary maximum dues schedule increase of 4.5 percent for the fiscal year 2023-2024 that runs from <br />September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024. Dues are used to support the League's mission which is to <br />promote excellence in local government through effective advocacy, expert analysis, and trusted <br />guidance for all Minnesota cities. <br />Setting the maximum dues schedule increase is similar to a city setting its preliminary levy increase, in <br />that the final dues schedule increase to be approved by the League Board cannot exceed the preliminary <br />approved increase. The Board will formally discuss and approve a final dues schedule increase along <br />with the League's fiscal year 2024 budget at its scheduled August meeting. <br />If you have questions or want additional information on the League's dues and budget, please feel free <br />to contact me at (651) 281-1279 or Ifischer@lmc.org. <br />Also, we want to see you soon and would like to invite you join us in Duluth June 21-23 for the League's <br />Annual Conference for city officials. To learn more about the Conference and register, visit Imc.org/ac23. <br />The League board and staff takes seriously our responsibility to carefully manage member assets, and <br />we thank you for your continued support of the work we do on your behalf. <br />Sincerely, <br />Luke Fischer <br />Executive Director <br />145 University Avenue West PH: (651) 281-1200 FX: (651) 281-1299 <br />5t.
