DOA:......Ziegler, BB0274 - County authority to enter into revenue sharing agreements; expand scope of allowed revenues
For 2005-07 Budget -- Not Ready For Introduction
2005 BILL
AN ACT ...; relating to: authorizing a county to participate in a municipal revenue sharing agreement and expanding the types of revenues that may be included in such an agreement.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
local government
Under current law, cities, villages, and towns (municipalities) may enter into agreements to share revenues from taxes and special charges with other municipalities and with federally recognized American Indian tribes or bands. No municipality may enter into an agreement with one or more municipalities unless the municipality is contiguous to at least one other municipality that enters into the agreement.
A municipal revenue sharing agreement must meet a number of conditions. It must:
1. Be for a minimum term of ten years.
2. Describe the boundaries of the area within which the revenues are to be shared in the agreement.
3. Describe the formula or other means of determining the amount of revenues to be shared under the agreement.
4. Specify the date or dates upon which revenues agreed to be shared are to be paid to the appropriate municipality.
5. Specify how the agreement may be invalidated after the expiration of the minimum ten-year term.
An agreement under current law may address any other necessary and proper matters, including any agreements with respect to services or agreements with respect to municipal boundaries. Current law also requires that at least 30 days before entering into an agreement the participating municipality must hold a public hearing on the proposed agreement (public hearing notice requirements are specified). In addition, current law provides that an advisory referendum on a proposed agreement may be called either by the governing body of the participating municipality or by the qualified electors of a participating municipality. In the latter case, a petition, signed by a number of qualified electors equal to at least 10 percent of the votes cast for governor in a municipality at the last gubernatorial election must be timely filed. Time limits and notice requirements are provided for the advisory referendum.
This bill modifies current law by authorizing a county to enter into a revenue sharing agreement with another county or a municipality or federally recognized American Indian tribe or band. The bill also modifies current law by expanding the types of revenues that may be subject to such a revenue sharing agreement. Under the bill, fee revenues and payments received from the state may also be included in the agreements.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
