PUBLIC HEARING TO CONDUCT BOARD OF APPEAL AND EQUALIZATION.
History: Minnesota Statute provides that the County or City Council can sit as the
local Board of Appeals and Equalization, also known as the Board of Review. The
City Council has decided it wishes to fulfill this function.
Current Circumstances: The Board of Review this year is scheduled for Monday,
May 5, 2003 at 8pm in the Fire Station City Council Chambers. County Assessor
Leroy Arnoldi will be present to assist the City Council in conducting the Board of
Review hearing. In accordance with state statute, notice of the hearing has been
posted and published.
Issues: The only issue before the City Council sitting at the Board of Review is the
valuation placed upon each parcel by the County Assessor as of January 2003.
Property owners received their valuation notice in April. A property owner wishing
to contest his or her valuation must do so in person or in writing at the Local
Board of Review. Citizens wishing to perfect their appeal may do so this evening
by submitting a written letter to the Mayor or by making comments at the meeting.
This will allow the party to continue the appeal to the County Board of Review or
court system should they desire.
Conclusion: The Council should review the attached report provided by Leroy
Arnoldi, the County Assessor, to familiarize itself with appraisal and valuation
related issues. A sign-up sheet will be distributed for those who wish to address
the Board of Review. The Mayor will open the Board of Review as it is a hearing. I
will provide a brief overview of the purpose of the Board of Review. Assessor
Arnoldi will give his report. The Mayor will read any letters received into the record
and allow each property owner to present the opportunity to state their concerns
about the valuation as of January 2003. If there are questions requiring additional
research, Mr. Arnoldi will prepare a report and provide it to the Board of Review
prior to May 19, 2003 when the Board will meet to take final action. If no appeals
are submitted this evening, the City Council, acting as the Board of Review, may
close the hearing without a continuation.
