Miller <br />Executive Director <br /> <br />,"te, <br /> <br />, <br />.;J <br /> <br />Date: August 27,2001 <br /> <br />RE: 2001 Dues Increase <br /> <br />I want to personally comment on your enclosed League of Minnesota Cities dues invoice for <br />the year beginning September 1,2001. <br /> <br />At its August 24th meeting, the League Board approved a 3% dues increase for the coming <br />year. The Board had authority from our membership to increase dues by up to 5%, but felt that <br />a more modest increase was appropriate given the uncertainty the 2001 Tax Bill created for <br />cities as they prepare their budgets and with the re-imposition oflevy limits. <br /> <br />However, because the League's dues structure is based on population, the 2000 Census has <br />further impacted some cities, yours included, with an increase above the 3 % general increase. <br />Although we adjust population estimates annually based on the best available information, <br />invariably some of those estimates are shown to be inaccurate after each decennial census, as <br />was the case for your city this year. <br /> <br />While the dollar amount of the resulting increase above the 3% general may not be <br />substantial, I realize that it still may represent a significant percentage increase. I want you to <br />know that I, the Board, and entire staff greatly appreciate your support and we pledge our best <br />efforts in this coming year to make sure you receive the value from your membership you <br />deserve. <br /> <br />Thank you for your membership. Please call me if you have any questions. <br /> <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER <br />
