How much of my property tax bill pays for the City Services? About 19 cents out of each dollar of property tax goes to the City. 2. If the City isn't spending more, why are my taxes going to increase? The property tax burden is shifting from commercial /industrial property to homestead residential property because of falling real estate values for commercial /industrial property. The City is suffering a loss of other revenues such as business licenses, court fines, recreation fees, lodging taxes, and interest income. 3. What is the General Fund? The General Fund is the entity which provides the services such as police, fire, streets, parks, recreation, inspections, and administration which citizens most often think of as the City. 4. What is debt service? This is payment of principal and interest on past borrowing for capital outlays of the City which are repaid using the property tax. There are no such payments in 1994. 5. What are the Economic Development Authority and the Housing and Redevelopment Authority? These funds conduct housing and redevelopment projects funded by a combination of state and federal grants and property taxes. 6. What is the purpose of tonight's meeting? Tonight's meeting is to give the public an opportunity to give input to the City Council on the budget. By state law, the City Council may not take action to adopt the budget at a meeting at which it takes public input. 7. When will the budget be adopted? By state law, the City Council must adopt the budget no later than December 20, 1993. 8. I disagree with the final 1993 market value for 1994 taxes shown on my Proposed Property Tax Notice. How can I get that changed? The market values have been finalized at this oint and cannot be chan 'ged b the City P b Y Y of Brooklyn Center. Your avenues of appeal will be listed on the back of your 1994 Tax Statement. In order to effect a change in the market value a Tax Court Petition • will need to be filed prior to May 16, 1994. The Tax Statement will provide a telephone number for assistance and forms needed to file that tax appeal. I- 9. I am on a fixed income and cannot afford the increase. What can I do? The State of Minnesota provides a ro ert tax refund program that has several P P Y P g components. One component is targeted towards individuals on fixed or low income and is tested and based on the relationship between the amount of your property taxes and your income. The second component is targeted towards a rate of increase for property owners whose taxes have increased above a particular percentage amount. There is no income test for this tax increase refund. The qualifying levels and the amount of refunds change each year so it is impossible today to predict whether or not an individual would qualify for a refund. A few forms for the 1992 refund are still available from the City. If you would like to order forms for next year, you may contact the Department of Revenue after January 15, 1994, at 296 -4444 in order to request forms. Questions on the refund program should be directed to the Minnesota Department of Revenue at 296 -3781. 10. Does Brooklyn Center spend too much on city services? The State of Minnesota Commission on Reform and Efficiency developed a process for comparing city expenditures. This commission's methodology established "Basic Spending Levels" for all Minnesota cities and compared those levels to actual city expenditures. Their report indicates Brooklyn Center's spending is 9% or $1,120,272 below the established "Basic Spending Levels" as established by this commission.
