Appeals and equalization meeting on April 14th. Uh, 00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.266
gives us a chance to review parcels said property owners to
00:02:43.266 --> 00:02:46.500
come in at that time and make a decision on that. Yeah, I’m,
00:02:46.500 --> 00:02:51.233
I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be rude, but it looks like someone 00:02:51.233 --> 00:03:03.000

So, uh, as a PowerPoint here, Goes through. This is the

reconvened meeting. And click on that. There we go. So again, 00:03:13.133 --> 00:03:16.233
the meeting overview and assessment procedures on this
00:03:16.233 --> 00:03:19.500
to recap on this. The purpose is to provide a form for
00:03:19.500 --> 00:03:22.300
property owners who appealed their 2025 valuation and 00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:25.400
classification. On that previously mentioned April 14,
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.767
2025, local Board of Appeal and equalization date or have
00:03:29.767 --> 00:03:32.300
appealed between that local board date and the reconvened 00:03:32.300 --> 00:03:35.634
meeting, which was originally scheduled um prior to the 28th
00:03:35.634 --> 00:03:42.000
this week earlier. Uh, to recap, you cannot review the amount or 00:03:42.000 --> 00:03:46.734
percentage change over the previous years. The tax amount
00:03:46.734 --> 00:03:51.000
or potential tax impact. Is not to be taken into consideration. 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:55.767
We are here for the taxable the property valuation purposes.
00:03:55.767 --> 00:04:00.533
The board can determine to increase, decrease or sustain 00:04:00.533 --> 00:04:06.467
the assessed value. The adjustments must be
00:04:06.467 --> 00:04:09.266
substantiated by factual evidence, i.e., supporting
00:04:09.266 --> 00:04:12.300
documentation, that I feel statements. And we are 00:04:12.300 --> 00:04:16.000
requesting the time limit for presentation to be 3 minutes.
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.367
Per Ah, so again, the adjustments must be 00:04:21.367 --> 00:04:23.500
substantiated by factual evidence, the burden of proof
00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:27.200
rests with the property owners who must present factual
00:04:27.200 --> 00:04:30.033
evidence to disprove the assessor’s value for the 00:04:30.033 --> 00:04:34.734
assessment January 2, 2025 for taxes payable in 2026.
00:04:34.734 --> 00:04:38.900
Reasonable effort must be made on behalf of the property owner
00:04:38.900 --> 00:04:42.166
to communicate regarding appeal, as well as allow interior 00:04:42.166 --> 00:04:46.000
viewing of the property and additional structures. That is
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:52.467
a state statute, Minnesota state statute 274.01 00:04:52.467 --> 00:04:55.567
subdivision one paragraph B. Uh, the sentence starts with the
00:04:55.567 --> 00:04:59.133
board may not make individual market value adjustments or
00:04:59.133 --> 00:05:03.734
classifications. Change that would benefit the property 00:05:03.734 --> 00:05:07.300
owner if the property, if the owner or other persons having
00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:10.467
control of the property has refused the assessor access to 00:05:10.467 --> 00:05:18.000
inspect the property. And the interior of any buildings or
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.266
structures provided in subsection 273.20, which breaks 00:05:21.266 --> 00:05:27.033
down the assessor’s function. Um, also per state statute, any
00:05:27.033 --> 00:05:31.300
city council person members acting as a board member with a 00:05:31.300 --> 00:05:34.000
property appeal or appeals must excuse or recuse themselves
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.634
from any actions pertaining to their property or property use.
00:05:36.634 --> 00:05:40.467
If they wish to comment, it will be the same its manner and 00:05:40.467 --> 00:05:45.300
procedure which residents will be able to do so. That is uh
00:05:45.300 --> 00:05:50.033
also in the same statue. Uh, starting with the a board 00:05:50.033 --> 00:05:52.734
member may not or shall not participate in any actions of
00:05:52.734 --> 00:05:55.900
the board, which results in market value adjustments or
00:05:55.900 --> 00:05:58.033
classification changes to property owned by the board
00:05:58.033 --> 00:06:03.400
member. The spouse, parent, stepparent, child, stepchild, 00:06:03.400 --> 00:06:06.500
grandparent, grandchild, brother, sister, uncle, aunt,
00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:09.367
nephew, or niece of a board member or property in which
00:06:09.367 --> 00:06:13.000
board member has a financial interest. The relationship may 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:20.467
be by blood or by marriage. So that being said, we have 00:06:20.467 --> 00:06:23.100
example C.1, which were the appeals that were received on
00:06:23.100 --> 00:06:28.900
April 14th of 2025. I’m not gonna recap these as they were.
00:06:28.900 --> 00:06:31.233
We’ll get through those in a moment, but those are the 00:06:31.233 --> 00:06:36.634
individuals who Presented themselves. And their parcels
00:06:36.634 --> 00:06:44.033
and the 14th date. Um, after the 14th between that date and 00:06:44.033 --> 00:06:55.734
the reconvened, one member, uh, parcel ID 0511921130040 for 00:06:55.734 --> 00:06:59.400
Joshua and Susan Hegel, residing at 6941, 105th Trail
00:06:59.400 --> 00:07:05.367
North. appealed their property valuation and the settlement 00:07:05.367 --> 00:07:14.367
was reached on that. Uh, at this time, we are The Appeal 00:07:14.367 --> 00:07:20.233
summary was sent out to the council members, I believe on 00:07:20.233 --> 00:07:23.467
Thursday the 24th, or documentation that the
00:07:23.467 --> 00:07:26.233
assessor’s office has received from property owners, as well
00:07:26.233 --> 00:07:30.467
as our recommendation changes on that for your review prior 00:07:30.467 --> 00:07:37.300
to this meeting tonight. In the instance for appeal A1. The
00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:40.667
residents of 8328 Fairfield Road North. We are here this 00:07:40.667 --> 00:07:45.900
evening to present their case before the board and uh. Take a
00:07:45.900 --> 00:07:49.367
moment to invite them to come up. To speak on their behalf if
00:07:49.367 --> 00:07:58.734
they wish. To readdress the board. I think we’re asking 00:07:58.734 --> 00:08:03.000
folks to limit it to 3 minutes. Was that the suggestion? OK. 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:10.900
Yeah. Thank you. Hi, I’m Kevin Holler, and I live at 83. 28 00:08:10.900 --> 00:08:13.367
Fairfield Road, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, and that’s my wife
00:08:13.367 --> 00:08:19.000
Valerie. And I’d just like to say that uh um I appreciate you
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.300
working late today and uh. I spent my day today working on 00:08:23.300 --> 00:08:28.033
setting stone on the new fire department building in Idina.
00:08:28.033 --> 00:08:31.200
And I know it takes a lot of tax dollars to build such a 00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:37.100
structure. But what I’m asking is that those tax dollars are
00:08:37.100 --> 00:08:44.667
Gathered in a more equitable manner. And so I briefly want 00:08:44.667 --> 00:08:49.533
to address the use of the map factor and the challenges Of
00:08:49.533 --> 00:08:54.233
the mass appraisal method. Uh, especially when applied to 00:08:54.233 --> 00:08:59.567
unique and uh outlier homes like ours. The map factor is
00:08:59.567 --> 00:09:02.200
supposed to make adjustments based on neighborhood market 00:09:02.200 --> 00:09:07.300
trends. But in practice, it’s part of a mass appraisal system.
00:09:07.300 --> 00:09:14.100
These systems by nature aren’t precise. They rely on formulas 00:09:14.100 --> 00:09:18.300
and averages that work best when homes are uniform and
00:09:18.300 --> 00:09:22.166
sales are consistent. But our home is not typical for the 00:09:22.166 --> 00:09:27.500
neighborhood. It’s newer Has different features and doesn’t
00:09:27.500 --> 00:09:33.800
match the surrounding homes. Because of this, the mass 00:09:33.800 --> 00:09:38.033
appraisal can lead to inaccurate values. And that’s
00:09:38.033 --> 00:09:42.767
exactly what we’re seeing here. Even though the assessor says 00:09:42.767 --> 00:09:48.867
the map factor is applied uniformly. It can produce
00:09:48.867 --> 00:09:53.000
inconsistent results even between similar homes. And 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:57.233
there’s no transparency on exactly how it’s calculated.
00:09:57.233 --> 00:10:02.567
Making it hard for homeowners to verify or challenge it. In 00:10:02.567 --> 00:10:09.500
short, mass appraisal. is known to make heirs. Especially for
00:10:09.500 --> 00:10:13.800
unique properties. That’s why the Department of Revenue 00:10:13.800 --> 00:10:19.634
allows appeals like what’s happened here. The map factor.
00:10:19.634 --> 00:10:24.000
Inflated our value beyond What’s supported by sales of 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.634
larger or more updated homes and stronger neighborhoods.
00:10:27.634 --> 00:10:35.734
Thank you. Hi, I’m Valerie Holler, 8328 Fairfield Road, 00:10:35.734 --> 00:10:39.900
Brooklyn Park, and thank you for your time, um, I trust that
00:10:39.900 --> 00:10:42.800
you had the opportunity to take a look at all of the materials 00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:47.467
that I sent, they were pretty extensive, and they were also
00:10:47.467 --> 00:10:52.900
images, um, and The um Assessor’s report is riddled 00:10:52.900 --> 00:10:57.100
with errors. Just to point out a couple, um, we have one
00:10:57.100 --> 00:11:02.900
egress window, the assessor said, we have 2. we have a back 00:11:02.900 --> 00:11:10.367
hall with no built-ins, the assessor said we have 2. there 00:11:10.367 --> 00:11:16.767
is the uh so-called vaulted ceiling, it’s 7.5 ft high. So
00:11:16.767 --> 00:11:21.000
it’s riddled with errors, um, and I don’t have a, a speech 00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:25.000
prepared here, but I do have um a couple of things I wanted to
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.000
talk about. You might wonder why I selected the homes that I
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:33.834
had when I put the, a couple of homes in these appeals. Um, the 00:11:33.834 --> 00:11:37.133
first one was over in Edinburgh. I have, we have friends over
00:11:37.133 --> 00:11:40.767
there and I saw this beautiful house and I wondered, I wonder 00:11:40.767 --> 00:11:43.500
what that’s assessed for, and I, I quite frankly, I was shocked
00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:47.800
that it was assessed for a lower value. than our home. Um,
00:11:47.800 --> 00:11:52.133
and then I was scanning the Hennepin County map. Um, 00:11:52.133 --> 00:11:56.367
recently, in, in the new information, one of the things
00:11:56.367 --> 00:12:01.133
that I, um, shared was a house on the river, and that one I 00:12:01.133 --> 00:12:07.000
had just seen it had gone down in value, the estimated market
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.734
value by the assessors as it had gone down in value, a 00:12:10.734 --> 00:12:13.033
percentage, I don’t remember the exact percentage, but it’s
00:12:13.033 --> 00:12:19.233
in the documents that you have. And yet our property has gone
00:12:19.233 --> 00:12:23.634
up 7.2% in a year. It’s the only one I, I’ve given you the 00:12:23.634 --> 00:12:28.867
data there. You can see it, the numbers don’t lie. Um, and so,
00:12:28.867 --> 00:12:34.166
as, um, my husband brought out about the map factor, um, there 00:12:34.166 --> 00:12:37.900
have been problems with map factors when they’re doing mass
00:12:37.900 --> 00:12:44.834
appraisals for properties that are unlike some others. Um, I 00:12:44.834 --> 00:12:49.300
wanted to look at that map. It’s in the, it’s in Q2
00:12:49.300 --> 00:12:52.900
additional information, um, and I’ve circled our property on my 00:12:52.900 --> 00:12:56.667
picture. I think yours if you have it in color, it’s in blue,
00:12:56.667 --> 00:13:02.500
but our property value went up from 510 to 546, I think it 00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:08.367
says, and um we’re asking for a reassessment all the way down
00:13:08.367 --> 00:13:12.100
to $450,000 because that’s what our realtor has said that’s 00:13:12.100 --> 00:13:15.934
what the data shows. So what we’re asking is that you look
00:13:15.934 --> 00:13:21.166
at those data or look at all of that data and take all of that 00:13:21.166 --> 00:13:24.467
data into consideration and reduce the estimated market
00:13:24.467 --> 00:13:29.233
value of our property. Um, and I was wondering if you had any
00:13:29.233 --> 00:13:37.200
questions for us. Can you, can you give me the address again? 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.000
Sorry. 8328 Fairfield Road, Brooklyn Park. OK. And I, I 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:44.767
have put pictures of the egress, we had one egress window, and,
00:13:44.767 --> 00:13:47.500
you know, I put, I gave you pictures of all of the things
00:13:47.500 --> 00:13:50.100
that, you know, the upstairs bathroom, it adds vinyl 00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:54.200
flooring. The assessor said it was tile. We don’t have
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:59.200
wainscoting, so it’s just um. brings one to question. What’s
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:02.300
really going on here. We also in the in the garage attic, 00:14:02.300 --> 00:14:07.634
it’s not, it’s not some attic you can go into. Um, so. So
00:14:07.634 --> 00:14:10.867
anyway, I have, those are the things that I had to share this 00:14:10.867 --> 00:14:14.033
evening, so I hope that you will take this into
00:14:14.033 --> 00:14:18.233
consideration and Um, reassess or whatever the correct term is,
00:14:18.233 --> 00:14:21.734
I don’t know, reduce the estimated market value. Thank 00:14:21.734 --> 00:14:26.233
you. So thank you for that. Mr. so Mr. Anderson, I guess if we
00:14:26.233 --> 00:14:31.033
can get um an understanding of the timeline necessary in terms 00:14:31.033 --> 00:14:34.400
of making these decisions, uh. And then kind of the the city’s
00:14:34.400 --> 00:14:38.500
thoughts on that particular property as it stands. And then
00:14:38.500 --> 00:14:41.767
I guess uh, you know, uh, board members, if you had any 00:14:41.767 --> 00:14:47.233
questions, please let me know. So the, but You’re questioning
00:14:47.233 --> 00:14:52.367
the timeline on the appeal or no, yeah, in terms of um. I 00:14:52.367 --> 00:14:57.467
think They’re saying, I’m, I’m looking at as the top property,
00:14:57.467 --> 00:15:01.000
right? So do we need to, regarding them, do we need to 00:15:01.000 --> 00:15:04.400
make a decision today regarding them or is it something they
00:15:04.400 --> 00:15:07.900
can do for the research into or what I just kind of want to
00:15:07.900 --> 00:15:12.734
understand the various options that are available. So we have 00:15:12.734 --> 00:15:18.634
You can have the You print on the purpose, you don’t. You. of
00:15:18.634 --> 00:15:25.266
the No. OK. That’s OK. So essentially tonight, this 00:15:25.266 --> 00:15:28.734
evening, the purpose of that would be to make a make a
00:15:28.734 --> 00:15:34.033
decision on that with to lower the value to increase the value 00:15:34.033 --> 00:15:38.367
or to retain the value of the assessment year. Uh, a lot of
00:15:38.367 --> 00:15:41.734
the information that they pointed out earlier, it’s not 00:15:41.734 --> 00:15:45.300
actually a factor that we take into account in valuation, the
00:15:45.300 --> 00:15:48.367
number of egress windows are not anything that’s taken into
00:15:48.367 --> 00:15:52.934
consideration. The vast majority of it is done through 00:15:52.934 --> 00:15:57.567
your overall square footage. And quality of finish on that.
00:15:57.567 --> 00:16:02.834
Also taking a look into account. The property does have a 00:16:02.834 --> 00:16:09.834
detached 2 car garage that has a 3/4 bathroom. In that
00:16:09.834 --> 00:16:14.100
detached garage as well. So overall there’s a 4 car stall 00:16:14.100 --> 00:16:21.033
total garage on this property. The Other items. recall 00:16:21.033 --> 00:16:22.900
anything. The assessor who actually did the inspection is
00:16:22.900 --> 00:16:25.100
here this evening, so is there anything else that you can
00:16:25.100 --> 00:16:33.467
think of to point out? OK, like I said, the detached garages. 00:16:33.467 --> 00:16:37.867
Sure. So and a lot of the, they mentioned the landscaping of
00:16:37.867 --> 00:16:41.300
that nature. It’s also not anything that takes into 00:16:41.300 --> 00:16:43.166
consideration for evaluation purposes. It essentially makes
00:16:43.166 --> 00:16:46.734
the property look more appealing from the street view.
00:16:46.734 --> 00:16:51.033
The reason for the adjustment is because prior year there was 00:16:51.033 --> 00:16:55.767
a 17% depreciation placed onto the property. That was updated
00:16:55.767 --> 00:17:00.767
this year to 10%. To a 10% depreciation, that 7% change is 00:17:00.767 --> 00:17:03.834
also a factor in taking into account a larger bump. If you
00:17:03.834 --> 00:17:10.166
will, in that valuation. The successor’s office have, as we 00:17:10.166 --> 00:17:12.834
mentioned in the documentation sent out last week. We
00:17:12.834 --> 00:17:16.567
recommend that no change for the valuation on there.
00:17:16.567 --> 00:17:19.767
Whatever your decision is tonight. The property owners
00:17:19.767 --> 00:17:23.500
still have the opportunity to go to the county board for 00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:26.400
Hennepin County as well, should they wish to do that. Yeah, so
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:29.367
that was gonna be my follow up that this just so folks know
00:17:29.367 --> 00:17:32.667
they can go to the county for that appeal if we were to make 00:17:32.667 --> 00:17:38.367
a particular decision, so. All right. All right, thank you. Uh,
00:17:38.367 --> 00:17:44.867
did you? OK. Um, chair, uh, not chair but uh board member, uh, 00:17:44.867 --> 00:17:49.166
Paige. That’s good for the future. I’m kidding. Um, I just
00:17:49.166 --> 00:17:52.000
want you to know, I just want to put commentary. I drove 00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.100
right after the last one I drove by, I did all the
00:17:54.100 --> 00:17:57.100
research, um, and I’m not sure that you’re aware, but there
00:17:57.100 --> 00:18:02.100
are two properties that were almost 15%, um, and I, the 00:18:02.100 --> 00:18:07.300
market is so hot, you’re in a highly desirable area. I
00:18:07.300 --> 00:18:09.467
couldn’t find supporting information to reduce, and I
00:18:09.467 --> 00:18:12.634
worked really hard to go through everything and some of 00:18:12.634 --> 00:18:17.100
the things you’re looking for selling, compensating factors,
00:18:17.100 --> 00:18:19.567
and then assessing. Compensating factors. So
00:18:19.567 --> 00:18:22.400
they’re two different, right? The market drives with the 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:29.166
market and, and right now, I, I think you would I think Your
00:18:29.166 --> 00:18:31.834
realtor would be doing a disservice if you went with the 00:18:31.834 --> 00:18:35.000
value that you’re listing here because your home appears in
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:37.367
the market right now to be worth so much more. So I just
00:18:37.367 --> 00:18:40.900
want you to know, we did, I did the due diligence. I went 00:18:40.900 --> 00:18:44.166
through all those properties. I think I looked at 27 properties.
00:18:44.166 --> 00:18:47.900
I drove by your home. I compared it to the recent sales,
00:18:47.900 --> 00:18:51.667
the pendings, um, I think there were 4 that went into sold 00:18:51.667 --> 00:18:54.834
since the last meeting that supported a higher value for
00:18:54.834 --> 00:18:58.133
you, so the market is still very strong, um, and I wasn’t
00:18:58.133 --> 00:19:03.533
able to based on your data. Um, challenge what the assessor did. 00:19:03.533 --> 00:19:05.834
So I just want to share that with you from my personal
00:19:05.834 --> 00:19:09.667
experience. I don’t know what you’re, I don’t think we’re
00:19:09.667 --> 00:19:12.734
having a conversation. I’m just giving commentary for you. 00:19:12.734 --> 00:19:19.467
Thank you. All right, thank you. Were there, um, any other folks
00:19:19.467 --> 00:19:23.800
that wanted to, that we’re gonna go speak or. For this 00:19:23.800 --> 00:19:27.467
hearing? Not in regards to this parcel, no, we to any other
00:19:27.467 --> 00:19:30.033
persons. Yeah, I was saying so I would recommend making a 00:19:30.033 --> 00:19:32.200
motion on this parcel to move on to the next one, do the same
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:36.900
thing, and then the remainder ones are a bulk, if you will.
00:19:36.900 --> 00:19:44.033
Sorry. So, yeah, I’m in, I mean, I’m inclined to keep it the 00:19:44.033 --> 00:19:47.834
same based on the information I’m hearing, you know, from
00:19:47.834 --> 00:19:51.100
various sources, um. But I, I guess my question then because 00:19:51.100 --> 00:19:53.133
what we have in front of us is a motion, right? It says
00:19:53.133 --> 00:19:55.634
basically accept the city assess valuation
00:19:55.634 --> 00:19:59.467
recommendations, but that’s for all, all of these, right? This
00:19:59.467 --> 00:20:06.367
whole list. Correct. Right. So that’s what one are present and 00:20:06.367 --> 00:20:09.133
a2 would also potentially be present. And they are the ones
00:20:09.133 --> 00:20:17.100
that would be to contest the Valuation A 3 through A 16 on 00:20:17.100 --> 00:20:21.667
the screen here omitting a few are either continuously working. 00:20:21.667 --> 00:20:26.567
On the valuation or have refused entrance to the
00:20:26.567 --> 00:20:30.900
property. So we haven’t either been able to get into the 00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:35.233
properties to view it, one way, shape, or form. Or we are
00:20:35.233 --> 00:20:40.000
continuing to work with them up to the county board to reach an 00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.734
agreement on valuation. Just haven’t done that at this point.
00:20:41.734 --> 00:20:47.734
And I’m, I’m not seeing a 2 here, so. Pardon? A 2, I’m not
00:20:47.734 --> 00:20:52.000
saying here. Right. So I think we would just go ahead and move 00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:58.166
forward with the motion then. I just want to make sure we’re on
00:20:58.166 --> 00:21:02.467
the same page. Make the motion for a one. Is what I would 00:21:02.467 --> 00:21:06.934
recommend or to accept it. To accept. I, I guess maybe I’m
00:21:06.934 --> 00:21:11.500
confused on this one. So just one second. So we have, you 00:21:11.500 --> 00:21:17.100
know, 81 through B6 listed, right on, uh, D1, basically
00:21:17.100 --> 00:21:20.467
this motion to accept the city assessor’s valuation 00:21:20.467 --> 00:21:24.400
recommendations, right for the board and so I guess we’re just
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:28.033
voting to accept all of these, which are no change. Or are you
00:21:28.033 --> 00:21:34.000
saying we’re gonna go by, we’re gonna look at, yeah, OK. I just 00:21:34.000 --> 00:21:37.200
traditionally in in years past, the property owner is present,
00:21:37.200 --> 00:21:39.767
make the motion with the property owner there and send
00:21:39.767 --> 00:21:43.734
it under the bulk situation. Oh, OK. I mean, we can do that. I 00:21:43.734 --> 00:21:47.867
just feel like they’re gonna be included with everybody else,
00:21:47.867 --> 00:21:51.634
so, um, Mr. Chair, uh, I, I think you’re actually gonna be 00:21:51.634 --> 00:21:55.834
going to item D1, which that, that is one motion to accept
00:21:55.834 --> 00:21:59.033
this assess his evaluation on. Recommendations and that does
00:21:59.033 --> 00:22:02.367
include a one and includes all the A’s. So I think you can 00:22:02.367 --> 00:22:05.000
move to D and the property owner’s present. So if you make
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:08.033
one motion for all of them. I think you’ll understand what
00:22:08.033 --> 00:22:16.100
the motion is. OK. So, that, that was what I was saying is 00:22:16.100 --> 00:22:19.033
that, uh, they’re all on the same one and so we were making
00:22:19.033 --> 00:22:21.634
D1 and that would just include everyone. So I don’t know if 00:22:21.634 --> 00:22:25.300
you, did you have a statement or no? OK, so I would just say,
00:22:25.300 --> 00:22:29.467
I’ll go ahead. So we’re all on the same page with this. And
00:22:29.467 --> 00:22:32.634
I’ll make the motion to accept the city assessor’s valuation 00:22:32.634 --> 00:22:39.000
recommendations. All right, so Moshe was made by myself, uh,
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:42.467
Chair Winston, and then seconded by a board member Page, 00:22:42.467 --> 00:22:49.834
although we need a roll call. Yes. We’re voting on item D1, a
00:22:49.834 --> 00:22:58.300
board member Erikson. Board member Jean. OK. Board member 00:22:58.300 --> 00:23:05.166
Glenowski, board member Page. Board member McGarvey. I Uh, 00:23:05.166 --> 00:23:09.900
Chair Winston. The motion passes. 6 yes votes, 0 no votes.
00:23:09.900 --> 00:23:15.500
All right, thank you, and I, if I could just so the record’s 00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:21.467
clear that that motion was on parcels A1 appeals A1 through A 00:23:21.467 --> 00:23:24.567
16 and B4 and B6. That’s, that’s what I have in front of
00:23:24.567 --> 00:23:26.767
me. So that’s, that was the confusion. I, I thought I was
00:23:26.767 --> 00:23:29.767
being asked to vote on just one, but I had all of them in front
00:23:29.767 --> 00:23:33.100
of us. So, so we’re on the same page with that and that’s what 00:23:33.100 --> 00:23:36.634
that motion accomplished. So, um, I know y’all showed up. I
00:23:36.634 --> 00:23:38.233
apologize that we couldn’t necessarily do that, but I
00:23:38.233 --> 00:23:42.567
think we are, we have to stay kind of in line in line with Um, 00:23:42.567 --> 00:23:45.400
the assessors criteria, so I know there’s a different
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:47.934
criteria for selling or or buying, however you look at it,
00:23:47.934 --> 00:23:51.634
and then there’s one that the, the county and then we use as a 00:23:51.634 --> 00:23:55.367
city in our our assessors use, and we have to stay, uh, within
00:23:55.367 --> 00:23:58.100
the lines of that. Otherwise we could cause some issues not
00:23:58.100 --> 00:24:00.767
only for us as a city, but for the whole system in terms of 00:24:00.767 --> 00:24:04.467
how it works and just some equity and fairness issues as
00:24:04.467 --> 00:24:08.166
well. Um, but thank you for coming. Um, and then, so if we
00:24:08.166 --> 00:24:15.800
want to go to D2, certainly, uh. A2 is property address is 7335 00:24:15.800 --> 00:24:24.734
Zane Avenue North. The 2025 market value was 2,700,500. Uh 00:24:24.734 --> 00:24:29.634
And we just vote to accept that one with, I think the mayor’s,
00:24:29.634 --> 00:24:37.533
the chairs that go to item D2 D as in Delta 2, correct? So D2, 00:24:37.533 --> 00:24:41.767
so D2, just so we’re on the same page is gonna be approval 00:24:41.767 --> 00:24:45.100
evaluation agreements between April 15th, April 28th, file,
00:24:45.100 --> 00:24:49.233
reviewed, agreement reached between owner and assessor for
00:24:49.233 --> 00:24:52.634
2025 value change. So that’s gonna be a pill numbers A9, B5, 00:24:52.634 --> 00:24:58.867
B 8, and B9. is what I have in front of me. All the other ones
00:24:58.867 --> 00:25:02.634
we voted on, those were the ones with no change. Now we’re 00:25:02.634 --> 00:25:05.000
voting on the ones that have some adjusted market value.
00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:13.367
Very good. So these are D2 These are files that were 00:25:13.367 --> 00:25:16.500
reviewed, inspected, and agreement reached between the
00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:21.300
property owner and assessment for the 2025 valuation. Those 00:25:21.300 --> 00:25:34.634
parcels are. Addres uh 7347 Zane Avenue. The original 00:25:34.634 --> 00:25:42.100
market value was 246,200. After inspection and correction, the 00:25:42.100 --> 00:25:51.367
adjusted value is 2,420,400. Appeals and the B5 at address 00:25:51.367 --> 00:25:56.734
7208, Idaho Avenue North. The original assessment value is
00:25:56.734 --> 00:26:03.500
3,650,600. The recommended adjusted value is 337,000. 00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:12.800
Appeal be 8. Address 1400 92nd Avenue North. Real values 00:26:12.800 --> 00:26:22.734
421,000. The recommended adjustment value is 389,500. 00:26:22.734 --> 00:26:29.567
And address 6941 105th Trail North. The original market
00:26:29.567 --> 00:26:34.734
value was 6,630,300. The recommended adjustment value 00:26:34.734 --> 00:26:38.200
was 6,340,900. And again, these are all parcels of the
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.667
assessment staff have been able to inspect and make corrections 00:26:41.667 --> 00:26:44.166
adjustment on, on the particular field cards and
00:26:44.166 --> 00:26:46.367
those have resulted in the valuation adjustments, we would
00:26:46.367 --> 00:26:50.533
recommend those changes to the board. OK. And we don’t have 00:26:50.533 --> 00:26:54.233
anybody in the audience who’s gonna that wants to speak or
00:26:54.233 --> 00:26:56.667
Push against that. I just want to make sure so everybody has a
00:26:56.667 --> 00:27:01.233
chance. OK. All right, so are there any questions from 00:27:01.233 --> 00:27:05.200
council members or board members? If that’s the case,
00:27:05.200 --> 00:27:10.266
then I’ll go ahead and make the motion to approve. The 00:27:10.266 --> 00:27:14.533
evaluation agreements between April 15, 2025 and April 28,
00:27:14.533 --> 00:27:17.734
2025. Is there, all right, so the motion was made by myself,
00:27:17.734 --> 00:27:21.867
a chair, uh, Winston, seconded by board member Kloanowski. Uh, 00:27:21.867 --> 00:27:26.367
we will need a roll call. OK, you’re voting on item D2, uh,
00:27:26.367 --> 00:27:32.867
board members young. Bye. Board member Klenowski. Board member 00:27:32.867 --> 00:27:41.166
page. Board member McGarvey. Right. Board member Erikson. 00:27:41.166 --> 00:27:48.100
Chair Winston. I motion passes with 6 yes votes, 0 no votes.
00:27:48.100 --> 00:27:55.166
All right. Thank you. Uh, and the next. It says approval of 00:27:55.166 --> 00:27:58.834
additional appeals received between April 24, 2025, and
00:27:58.834 --> 00:28:04.166
April 28, 2025. Correct. There was only one individual who was 00:28:04.166 --> 00:28:09.000
part of the settlement on there, which was prior D2 motion B
00:28:09.000 --> 00:28:13.200
appeal B 9. They were the individuals that were. Listed 00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:19.233
on that, on D3, aside from that one, there were no further
00:28:19.233 --> 00:28:22.300
appealings or individual property owners contesting the 00:28:22.300 --> 00:28:24.367
evaluation between that time frame. OK. There’s nothing to
00:28:24.367 --> 00:28:29.367
make a motion on at that point. Wait, so you’re saying we do,
00:28:29.367 --> 00:28:33.634
we do need emotion on this one. There no, there’s there’s an 00:28:33.634 --> 00:28:36.900
emotion needed on this one. OK, that makes more sense. OK. All
00:28:36.900 --> 00:28:42.667
right. So then I think we can um Are there any, any closing 00:28:42.667 --> 00:28:45.934
remarks or the only other slide is just the eels that were
00:28:45.934 --> 00:28:47.734
withdrawn between that there’s a motion on that, but just for
00:28:47.734 --> 00:28:55.467
records. That the property owner at 10129 Ewing Lane 10703 00:28:55.467 --> 00:29:00.166
Jersey Cord North 7824 Noble Avenue North, 8529 Inverness 00:29:00.166 --> 00:29:03.467
Lane North. All those individuals spoke with the
00:29:03.467 --> 00:29:06.634
assessment office or determined that they wish to withdraw
00:29:06.634 --> 00:29:10.934
their appeal for this year. OK. I believe that is. All that I 00:29:10.934 --> 00:29:15.767
have. All right, wonderful. All right, so we can go ahead and
00:29:15.767 --> 00:29:18.367
thank you for um the presentation. Thanks for folks
00:29:18.367 --> 00:29:21.500

we’ll go ahead and adjourn that meeting, um, and then we’re
00:29:25.467 --> 00:29:28.634
gonna head, I’ll give everybody about 2 minutes, uh, and then 00:29:40.900 --> 00:29:45.734
meeting, I’ve been asked by the county to make a formal motion
00:29:45.734 --> 00:29:49.100
to adjourn, um, the hearing. So if we can just have, I, I’ll
00:29:49.100 --> 00:29:54.767
