Delete the assessment. Layover to LH June 2, 2026 for staff to investigate any error on
part of RC.
Urjii Kalil, owner, appeared
[Moermond gives background of appeals process and how this is different than the
normal course of events/timeline]
Moermond: we’ll accept this one which hasn’t been sent to the County and talk about
it. I don’t know what we can do about the ones already certified to your taxes. I’d need
to see a demonstrable error and on whose part that was. We’ll try to sort that out
today.

Staff report by Supervisor Richard Kedrowski: I have very little on this, I have four
documents but I’m not sure how they correlate with the items today.
Moermond: a tall grass and weeds order sent out June 4, 2025. I also have contractor
photos.
Kedrowski: correct, I do have those.
Moermond: contractor took action June 27th. It was super tall grass. Tell me about
this situation.
Kalil: I visited the property a couple months before this incident and I didn’t see tall
grass at that time. After that, when I visited, everything was cut and I didn’t notice
anything. I think it is because of the mailing error. Notice was supposed to be sent to
my address, and the only way I found out about this is because I went to Ramsey
County to pay my taxes and I was able to find those bills. I had no idea about them
until 2 weeks ago.
Moermond: we’ll look more deeply into this. I’m going to recommend the one today get
deleted and the reason being that the City’s computer system that manages this
information went down, and we don’t know how long it will take to get the historic
records. I don’t know we can do anything about the ones already certified to the taxes.
The error was on the part of Ramsey County and their address in their tax records were
incorrect. When you purchased you gave the right information, but somehow there was
a miscommunication with taxes. This…
