Dallas-
In my absence of tomorrow's meeting, can you please forward this concern on to the entire
council?
I have learned that after I had left our bUdget work session last week, the council and city staff
considered and came to the consensus of adding the MVHC levy back into our 2010 budget. I
was very frustrated to hear that we are even considering this option after going through our
2010 budget line by line and cutting expenses in order to mitigate this unallotment imposed by
the Pawlenty administration. In fact, I had left this meeting only because I thought we had
decided this issue.. I would not have left if I had known the conversation was going to revert
back to this topic.
I do not support levying the MVHC back to the residents in any way shape or form. Yes, it is an
unfunded mandate, but passing the bill directly to the residents in the form of a special levy puts
us in the same camp as the pawlenty administration. We need to stick to the cuts in spending
we agreed to in order to pay for this and shield this unfunded mandate to our residents. I
know...... This is MUCH easier said than done, but I believe we had come to an initial consensus
that accomplished this without imposing this levy. I believe the driver of this change is the
desire to initiate a fund for future road maintenance. Although I support this conceptually, I do
not support enacting this during a recession if it means raising taxes. 'personally envision the
initial funding of this maintenance fund upon the sale of the Backage road lots that the city
currently owns. This, of course, is assuming that there is a profit after the bonds are paid off.
To my fellow council members, please, please, please consider what I am proposing. And yes, I
do fully understand that we can at a later time reduce our levy, but not increase it. Despite this,
I cannot remember a time of this actually happening. Cuts need to be made and they need to
be made now. Please support me and remove the special MVHC from our 2010 bUdget.
Respectfully Yours-
