Johnson introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 8751 CITY OF ROSEVILLE RESPONSE TO THE INITIAL FINDINGS OF THE RAMSEY COUNTY LOCAL GOVERNMENT SERVICES STUDY COMMISSION (RCLGSSC) WHEREAS, the city of Roseville has received and reviewed the initial findings of the Ramsey county Local Government Services Study Commis- sion (RCLGSSC); and WHEREAS, these findings show relatively small savings to the County taxpayers as a whole; and WHEREAS, the proposal shifts significant costs from the City of st. Paul to the suburbs, and places approximately $748,000 of additional cost on City of Roseville taxpayers, thereby increasing costs approxi- mately $30 per year to the average individual homeowner; WHEREAS, the proposal does not identify significant increases in the level of services; and WHEREAS, the proposal of the RCLGSSC does not factor into the analysis the cost of transferring the programs, the loss of accountability to a larger unit of government and the potential of higher long-term costs; WHEREAS, the proposal of the RCLGSSC should not be designed to redis- tribute cost sharing responsibilities within the County, as those policies are currently set by the Legislature in programs such as fiscal disparities, State income tax redistribution, and State sales tax redistribution; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Roseville that the RCLGSSC be requested to seek ways of improving the provision of local government services without transferring of costs from one jurisdiction to another, and improving the degree of account- ability in the mutual best interests of all residents of Ramsey County, and particularly the city of Roseville.
