VISITORS: � Senatar Ibn Prank a�peared beFore the Coancil regarding an update on what was happening in the Lec�islature. Senator pon Frank also congratulated Henry Peterson for his service to the F'ridley 49er Days. Senator Frank stated in 1980 and 1981, ttie State had a horrendous problem with the budget shortfall and either had to raise taxes, cut the budget or make shifts. I3e stztec� $560 million was actually shifted which means payments pronused to cities and school districts were deferred. He stated, wher� the State budget is discussed to day and news is heard about a surplus, this does not take into consideration putting back the shift �yments in prorJer sequence. He statea there is a motion in the House to remove tYae ten percent surcharqe and the Senate decided to propose to cut �rt of �.he surcharge, but tc reinstate the �yment policies to the cities and school districts wh�_ch they had zn 1980 and 19F31. He stated if they were to reposition the payrients to local yovernments, it would cost $560 million. He stated he is not saying they are going to reposition the total 5560 rnill�on, but they want t� start the payments in proper order which rioulc� amcunt to approximately $120-$150 million. He stated the reason it woulc] �e clone in this order is because the pro�ections in the last several years have been so far off, they can't predict the pro�ections for 1984 are Soing � to �e more accurate and want to k�e a little nore conservative. He stated if there was another recession in 1985 and 1986, and if the �nyments aren't re�ositioned, it woulcl lim�it the position to maneuver if there is a financial cri�is. He felt the S560 million surplus �ust isn't reality and has come to the Council to make sure everyone puts the budget surplus into the proper persFective. Senator Frank also stated there is a movement by a group of cities called the Srnall City Group who are proposing to change the local aid formula. He st�ted their proFosal is to take $19 million away from the core city of PSinneapolis and distribute it to cities who have been "losers" in reference to the tot�l local aid dollars. He stated Columbia Heights would lose, however, Spring Lake Park, Fridley, and Blaine would gain. He stated he really dicln't feel this was the way to proceed and hoped the League of Cities woulc7 come up with a better approach. Senator Frank also asked where Fndley stands in reference to the site in Fridley desicplated as a potential hazard waste processing facility. � �J I L�' � 1. y�1� �. • � �� � ; . . Mayor biee stated they are suing the Waste dUfanagement Board and he is r.eaGy to go to the Minneapolis City Council for their support. He stated he would like Senator Frank to raise the issue as, apparently, the �ttorney C�neral's office is making the case there ia not right to review of this decision until there are damages. Mayor Nee stated he felt, in this case, if you wait for damages, it would poison 2t�0,Q00 people by water pollu:.ion. Senator Feank asked that he be submittec� some lhing in writing and he woulcl be happy to pursue it f-urther.

He questioned if this required a person who witnessed an animal bite to notify one of these authorities. Mr. Flora statea in tl�e strictest interpretation this would probably be true.

Mr. Daewman, representing the City Attorney's Office, stated he Pelt the � onginal intention was to rec�uire the owner to contact these authorrties and if the worc3 "shall" is changed to "should", it woulcl not make Lt mandaTory for the owner to c7o so.
