    Subd. 8.    City formula aid.  In calendar year 1994 and 
 subsequent years, the formula aid for a city is equal to the 
 need increase percentage multiplied by the difference between 
 (1) the city's revenue need multiplied by its population, and 
 (2) the city's net tax capacity multiplied by the tax effort 
 rate.  No city may have a formula aid amount less than zero.  
 The need increase percentage must be the same for all cities.  

    Notwithstanding the prior sentence, in 1995 only, the need 
 increase percentage for a city shall be twice the need increase 
 percentage applicable to other cities if:  

    (1) the city, in 1992 or 1993, transferred an amount from 
 governmental funds to their sewer and water fund, and 

    (2) the amount transferred exceeded their net levy for 
 taxes payable in the year in which the transfer occurred. 

    The applicable need increase percentage or percentages must 
 be calculated by the department of revenue so that the total of 
 the aid under subdivision 9 equals the total amount available 
 for aid under section 477A.03.  

    Subd. 9.    City aid distribution.  (a) In calendar year 
 2002 and thereafter, each city shall receive an aid distribution 
 equal to the sum of (1) the city formula aid under subdivision 
 8, and (2) its city aid base. 

    (b) The percentage increase for a first class city in 
 calendar year 1995 and thereafter, except for 2002, shall not 
 exceed the percentage increase in the sum of the aid to all 
 cities under this section in the current calendar year compared 
 to the sum of the aid to all cities in the previous year.  For 
 aids payable in 2002 only, the amount of the aid paid to a first 
 class city shall not exceed the sum of its aid amount for 
 calendar year 2001 under this section and its aid payment in 
 calendar year 2001 under section 273.1398, subdivision 2, by 
 more than 2.5 percent. 

    (c) For aids payable in all years except 2002, the total 
 aid for any city, except a first class city, shall not exceed 
 the sum of (1) ten percent of the city's net levy for the year 
 prior to the aid distribution plus (2) its total aid in the 
 previous year before any increases or decreases under sections 
 16A.711, subdivision 5, and 477A.0132.  For aids payable in 2002 
 only, the total aid for any city, except a first class city, 
 shall not exceed 40 percent of the sum of (1) the city's net 
 levy for taxes payable in the year prior to the aid distribution 
 plus (2) its total aid in the previous year under section 
 273.1398, subdivision 2, before any increases or decreases under 
 sections 16A.711, subdivision 5, and 477A.0132.
