The situation is complex. Procedural maneuvering and clever efforts to enact these limits without a fair discussion of new restrictions have moved the threat closer than ever before. The bottom line remains the same. ° Minnesota city officials must immediately contact their members of the U.S. House of Representatives and both our U.S. Senators urgently requesting that they support the continued authority of cities to issue IDBs without new restrictions, state quotas, O or other measures which discriminate against M4nnesota cities, and, potentially, frustrate local economic and redevelopment efforts by city governments. ° WHAT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED On October 24, the House Ways and Means Committee reported out a tax bill, H.R. +oP 4170, a comprehensive measure dealing with a great many tax policies, but also containing a chapter on IDBs. Final consideration of the restrictive IDB provisions eH was completed in secret. The final bill eventually had 24 sponsors from among committee members (including Congressman Frenzel) , including committee chairman, Dan co p Rostenkowski and senior Republican member, Barber Conable. The anti-IDB provisions ° include the following new restrictions: o 71- 1) A $150 per capita limit on the amount of IDBs which may be issued • x annually in each state. The state volume cap would be allocated eH 50% to the state government and 50% to local governments on the ° basis of population. The Governor, on an interim basis, and the o Legislature would be able to revise the allocation. -P 2) New, severe,and confusing limits on artitrage. rz 3) Limiting the use of small issue IDBs for a principal user not to exceed more than $40 million of IDB debt outstanding after issuance. o -N ° 4) A prohibition on the use of IDBs for the purchase of land or o existing facilities. 183 university avenue east, st. paui, minnesota 551 01 (61 2) 227-5600 -OVER- 5) Denial of tax exemption for bonds issued with federal guarantees. 6) Other limitations. The House Ways and Means Committee bill went to the Rules Committee with a request that no amendments to the bill be permitted on the House floor, including the IDB provisions. A coalition of Rules Committee members insisted that the IDB provisions be debated and amended when the bill was on the House floor for a final vote. Rather than face the possibility of amendments to the IDB provisions, Congressman Rostinkowski withdrew his request for floor consideration of the bill. (He hopes that pressure from other beneficiaries of the tax bill, particularly the insurance industry will pressure the Rules Committee to force a "closed rule" i.e. , no amendments, in order that the other provisions of the tax bill be enacted before Congress recesses on November 19) . WHAT THE SENATE MAY DO IF THE BILL IS APPROVED IN THE HOUSE Meanwhile, in the Senate, the Finance Committee is working toward a tax package. It appears, however, that the Senate bill will not have an IDB section. Senate tax Committee Chairman Dole has not developed a consensus with regard to the final shape of a Senate tax proposal, but if the House passes a tax bill, the Senate could act on short notice and send a tax bill to a conference committee with representatives of the House Ways and Means Committee (who support IDB restrictions) . DANGEROUS POSSIBILITIES FOR THE FUTURE OF IDBS The dangers at play here include the possibility that Congressman Rostenkowski will ultimately succeed in getting the tax bill to the House floor with no opportunity for significant amendments to be offered to the IDB provisions of the bill. The comprehensive tax proposal could then go to conference where representatives of the Senate Finance Committee might well agree to the entire House IDB proposal and hammer out other compromises as well. Then both the House and the Senate would be faced with approving a final tax package of which the IDB portion is only a small part, with enormous pressure to vote approval. In this event, the Congress would never have considered the IDB provisions in open session. Cities would simply be handed the final set of regulations and restrictions. STATE VOLUME CAPS AND ARBITRAGE SPELLS TROUBLE Perhaps the most damaging feature of the new IDB restrictions is the state volume cap. Enactment of this regulation would mean that the Governor and the legislature would decide how to allocate the limited authority to issued IDBs, first between the state and the cities, and secondly, among and between cities, counties, and urban townships. Minnesota already exceeds any of the proposed annual volume caps and would face extraordinarily difficult problems of how to cut back IDB programs throughout the state. It is also arguable that the new restrictions on arbitrage (which are patterned on restrictions in the Housing Revenue Bond legislation of a year and a half ago) would prevent many cities from issuing IDBs at all. WHY IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO DELAY ACTION TO CONTACT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS Even though the proposed tax package would remove the sunset from Housing Revenue Bonds, it is difficult to see that this gain is worth the immediate loss and potential long-term struggle at the state level which would result from the enactment of the federal legislation. Cities should immediately inform their Congressmen and Senators of their opposition to the IDB regulations proposed in H.R. 4170.

"WE CARE!" 3 MEMO TO: Mayor and Council Members FROM: Tom Brownell/Chief of Police RE: Safe Walk Program DATE : November 4, 1983 Introduction: An employee of the Scott County Engineers staff contacted the Shakopee School District Administration regarding a Safe Walk Program for school children. The program has been established in other cities and provides corridors which have been desig- nated for grade school children to use while traveling to and from their school . Background : The Police Department was contacted by the School District re- garding participation in a Safe Walk Program for Shakopee . At the time of the request the department was involved with the Women Jaycee ' s in the Helping Hand Program which we felt could enhance the Safe Walk Program. The purpose of the Safe Walk Program is to cluster children into corridors where they will be less likely approached by sexual motivated persons . Each area will have a Helping Hands adult and the walks have been chosen for traffic safety factors and improvements have been made where appropriate , such as school crossings , curb painting, etc . Funds for the signs designating the Safe Walks have been con- tributed by Shakopee Lions , Women Jaycee ' s , Rotary and the School District . Council Action Requested : Approve the installation of Safe Walks signs to designate walkways to be used by children attending grade school in the City of Shakopee .
