City af <br />��,�� Revenue Policy <br />Minnesota USA <br />� <br />1'i}� ���� <br />O To provide a diversified and strong set of revenues to ensure a stable revenue system for <br />�� City parogxams and services <br />� To match revenues with similar ;:��r�� uses �e�,t�es��� to ensure <br />adequate funding for the various City services and programs over the long-term <br />� ��� _ . _■� <br />* Comment * Too subjective, and could be in conflict with the City's best <br />interests.
