Regular City Council Meeting Monday,December 11, 2017 Page 10 formal resolution, with area legislators and legislative committee leadership in the House and Senate. Specific to presumptive coverage for firefighters and his attempt to provide addi- tional research and input from the city's risk management firm, since the city's workers compensation is self-funded, City Manager Trudgeon advised that he was unable to do so. Councilmember Laliberte noted that previous discussion included the city's need to include the state/regional nature of the OVAL, and asked that it be included in the bold, title language (page 2) as well as in the comments. Councilmember Laliberte suggested language in the title such as, "Seek financial support ffer ] when putting fforth a list of upcoming priority capital improvement needs for the state and regional] Guidant John Rose Minnesota 'GV4L[asset]Mi..... ]through the 2020 State Bonding Bill" Mayor Roe agreed that language seemed reasonable. Specific to "Improve Information Property Tax Notice sent by counties," (page 24) City Manager Trudgeon reported that related to earlier comments tonight re- garding where the EDA levy showed up on those statements, staff felt it would be more appropriate and provide a truer picture to designate that levy similar to a statement about school levies not yet voted upon and subsequent impacts to tax- payers (second paragraph). Mr. Trudgeon advised that was staff's proposal for the county and any future reform of those statements. Specific to those tax statements, additional language revisions were suggested as follows: Title Roe/Lalib_ erte Revise title to read: "Improve Transparency of Information in Property Tax No- tices Sent by Counties" Final Statement of Support JRoe) Revise as follows: "The City of Roseville supports legislation that requires prop- erty tax notices sent to taxpayers to show [impacts oft voter levies [that may bei approved after certification of preliminary tax levies." HRA/EDA Levies (Roe) After the last bold line, immediately after the first sentence, add additional lan- guage similar to the following. "...and show city HRA and EDA levies under the relevant city portion of the statement rather than under"other taxing authorities." (Laliberte) Similarly if there is a county HRA/EDA levy not listed elsewhere, that it also be specified for transparency purposes.
