Story

Minnetonka approves property value assessments with one abstention

Votes (2)

Adoption of Assessor's Recommended Property Values for Section A

6-0 Approved, 1 Sustain

Dissent: Councilor Kley sustained the motion, citing a lack of clarity regarding all listed properties on the provided agenda.

Moved by Council M Shack [0:09:50] · Seconded by Council member ra [0:09:59]

The Mayor read into the record a comprehensive list of properties and their Assessor's recommended values as prepared by City staff. Several items were noted as withdrawn (5 & 6) or added (13-31) to this section prior to the reading. During the vote, one council member expressed concerns about not having a complete list of all read properties on their personal agenda, leading to a 'sustain' vote rather than an affirmative 'yes' or 'no'.

Adoption of Adviser's Recommended Property Values for Section B

7-0 Approved

Dissent: None

Moved by Council member R [0:13:00] · Seconded by Council M Foster Bolton [0:13:16]

The Mayor presented the sole remaining property item from Section B, which had been reviewed by external advisers. An initial misreading that included an item previously moved to Part A was corrected, ensuring only the current Section B item was considered for approval. No public input was offered for this item.

Notable Quotes (1)

this might sound weird but I'm going to sustain because I don't see all the listed properties that you just named all so I don't know why some of them were in the agenda okay and I haven't looked at it so I'm just going to sustain
