The appaEent Eecodification changes that and uses <br />the term "Taxable Matket Value" which is not the cutrent <br />corapaEable to the old term of Assesseu value. To a <br />degree this does shift the burden from cities with <br />commercial property to those with residential. (It is <br />thought that this should have been a technical <br />correction and paralleled what happened in the Tax Bill, <br />but apparently this change did otherwise.) <br />The City Council did indicate that they continue to <br />appreciate the r.--*ponsi veness you have provided as a <br />representative of the Jity cn the LMCD Board and also expressed <br />their appreciation t.iat other board members have become more <br />responsive to issues of the cities within the last few months. <br />Council looks on this as a hopeful sign for the Board's future. <br />They do have other suggestions related to the upcoming program <br />for LMCD for *92: <br />Boad Safety and Education - The City still feels one of <br />LMCD's primary missions is in the boat safety and <br />education area and wanting to make sure that the <br />District's efforts in the area of education plus <br />legislative activity to seek licensing for the actual <br />boaters would be a step in that direction. <br />Council strongly encourages you, as our representative, <br />to seek reductions in the proposed budget as outlined in both <br />ours and Tonka Bay's letter together with other that may be <br />submitted by the communities. <br />work. <br />Thank you very much for your consideration and hard <br />cerely. <br />E.Bernhardson <br />City Administrator <br />cc: Mayor and City Council <br />Eugene R.
