transferred to any other appropriation by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Association of Metropolitan Municipalities and the
Municipal Legislative Commission have been working for sometime with the League
of Minnesota Cities Coordinating Committee discussing property tax computer
analysis capability for the 1990 legislative session; and
WHEREAS, the LMC has committed to developing computer analysis
capability for the 1990 legislative session and has been negotiating with the
Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities for development of a property tax reform

Greater Minnesota Cities, the Small City organization, and the Metro Area
suburbs are being asked to make contributions; and
WHEREAS, large metropolitan suburbs are being asked to contribute
$2,000 each to this effort; and
WHEREAS, the data base or information which should result from this
one time effort will help assure that the professional staffs of AMM and MLC
