<br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />February 13, 1996 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />Special Order of Bu&iness. continued <br /> <br />Special Order of <br />Business <br /> <br />Joseph Strauss, NMMA Executive Director, noted the formation of a committee to <br />address development issues relating to two major corridors in the northern suburbs, 35W <br />and Highway 100. Another issue of great consideration is tax base disparity which the <br />NMMA will continue to look at alternatives. He thanked the City for their support and <br />feels the City has been a driving force in recent successes. <br /> <br />NMMA Presentation <br /> <br />Benke thanked Tinklandberg and Strauss, and agreed that tax base disparity is of major <br />concern. He suggested that the tax base issue could be resolved by eliminating the need <br />for a seven-county Metro Area and incorporating all counties into one common tax base. <br />Strauss noted that the State has been moving toward the use of property taxes as the <br />fundamental taxing unit. Property taxes are now the largest funding source, and <br />dividing metropolitan planning amongst 180 taxing units is an impossible task. <br /> <br />Consent A~enda <br /> <br />Consent A~enda <br /> <br />Motion by Gunderman, seconded by Samuelson, to APPROVE THE CONSENT <br />AGENDA ITEMS AS FOLLOWS: <br /> <br /> 1.
