Stearns County has already notified affected workers about potential layoffs. Although <br />the first half propert y tax settlements should not be affected, a protracted state shutdown could <br />have the ancillary impact of shutting down certain county operations, which could include <br />property tax administration. This could impact general property tax administration, the truth-in- <br />taxation process as well as the mdropolitan and Jron Range fIscal disparities portion of the <br />propert y tax system. <br /> <br />General City Interaction With State A~encies-Interaction with state agencies may be delayed <br />or unavailable. Examples could include data practices assistance, building inspections, approvals <br />or issuance of certain liquor licenses, wastewater regulation through the Minnesota Pollution <br />Control Agency, OSHA complaints, pay equity compliance reports, election judge training, <br />MnDOT approval of plats, joint road projects with MnDOT, planning assistance from the state, <br />boundary adjustment activities, joint park and recreation activities, etc. <br /> <br />Of course, at this time, there is no way of knowing if any of this information will be relevant. <br />Hopefully, it will not be necessary. However, because the consequences could be significant, it <br />seems prudent to do contingency planning now if you have not already done so. The League will <br />do its best to keep you apprised over the coming weeks; be sure to carefully read the Cities <br />Bulletin and Friday Fax and also to check the League's website for current information. <br />
