Mayor Chmiel made a brief comment about the general purpose of this evening's meeting and the City Manager outlined the procedure for the Board. Mayor Chmiel then opened the floor for any specific comments from the public. Mrs. Ousoski: I uas just uondering if they ever did anything. They never contacted us for Leonard Dusoski. Mayor ChmieI: And uhat's your address? Mrs. Dusoski: Address is lO00 Western Drive. Mayor ChmieI: WouId you please spelI that? Mrs. Dusoski: D U S 0 S K I. Scott Winter: Number 85. Mrs. Dusoski: Was there anything done on it? Mayor Chmiei: According to this there's been no adjustment. Mrs. Ousoski: No adjustment huh. Why? We couid never Iist that house for that price and get it. Counciiuoman Oimler: That's true. Mayor Chmiel: Are you familiar uith the house? Councilwoman Oimler: Yes. I'm familiar with that area. Mrs. Ousoski: It's right across from your father. Board of Equalization and Review - Mayl20, 1991 Mayor Chmiel: We would open that for some discussion. Orlin? Orlin $chafer: As we stated in our reply to the Board, we attempted to contact you repeatedly by phone and we received no answers. An appraiser dld go out and look at the property. Came back and just revlewed the sales and the field data that we collected and recalculated the values to make sure there had not been an error committed and came up with relatively the same number and there'd be no adjustment indicated. Mrs. Ousoski: You'd never get that for it. Orlln Schafer: What would you thlnk you would get for it ma'am? Mrs. Ousoski: The way it was appraised the first time would be more fair. Orlin Schafer: Now when you say flrst time, you mean last year? Mrs. Ousoski: Well yes. Orlin Sohafer: Whlch was what, do you know? Mrs. Dusoski: Was it $?3,900? Orlln Schafer: So we're talklng 11ke, you had a $20,000.00 increase? Okay. How old ls your home? Mrs. Dusoskl: It was built in '64? Leonard Dusoski: '62. Orlln Schafer: Do you recall Scott who took care of this one? Scott Winter: Ann. Orlln Schafer: I'm sorry. We did try to contact you and apparently there has not been an lnside review of your property tn some time. Have you seen an assessor in the last 2 years? Mrs. Dusoski: Last 2 years? Orlln Schafer: Yeah, was Ann there? Mrs. Ousoski: Yeah. Orlln Schafer: When was she there? Mrs. Dusoski: I don't remember but I remember showing her around. It wasn't very long ago. Orlin Schafer: But she was inside? Mrs. Dusoskl: Yes. Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 Orlin 5chafer: Then I guess I'll stand with the numbers that we have and we felt no adjustment was needed. Mrs. Dusoski: Yeah, there was a lady there. Councilwoman Oimler: Mrs. Ousoski, could you tell me how far you are from number 41, Kermit Audstad? You're in the same neighborhood aren't you? Mrs. Ousoski: I'm right...father-in-law. Across the street from Wally Christensen. Oo you know where that is? Okay. Councilwoman Oimler: Are you familiar with Kermit Austad? Because if the Council would turn to number 41. Mrs. Dusoski: Austad's up on Carver Beach Road? Councilwoman Dimler: Yes. Mrs. Ousoski: Okay. we're directly behind them. Councilwoman Dimler: Okay, and his was reduced by $16,100.00 down to $80,800.00. Now Z don't know, and I had a question as I was going through this because I'm familiar with some of the homes. Some got reductions and some didn't and I guess I was a little bit disappointed to see that because it did seem unfair to me as I was going through this. Mayor Chmiel: What you're saying is most the homes are comparable? Councilwoman Dimler: Zn that area yes. Mayor Chmiel: From the outside? Okay. Councilwoman Dimler: This is Carver Beach. Mrs. Ousoski: They're older homes, These are one of the first ones in there. Orlin Schafer: Yeah. As noted in our notes, if we found something that instilled us with a notion of more depreciation Councilwoman Dimler and by saying noting the condition of the home, that brought more depreciation factor into that. In other words, there might be something in the interior inspection that was not... Councilwoman Oimler: Yeah, I understand that. Mayor Chmiel: Right. That's what I'm just saying. From the outside because we don't know what the inside. Orlin Schafer: That in itself would be enough to change that value. Mayor Chmiel: Has there been any additional construction within your home in the past? Mrs. Ousoski: Since we bought it? Not since we bought it. Board of Equalization and Review - Nay 20, 1991 Hayor Chmiel: Okay. Everything is basically the same from the day you bought it to what it is presently now? Hrs. Ousoskl: Yep. Orlin Schafer: Well the fact that my appraiser had vlewed your property recently, I mean within the last 6 months, and she is qulte good, I would go ulth her recommendation of no adjustment. The Counc11 can do as they wlsh on this. Hayor Chmiel: As I look here Orlln at Hr. Kermit Austad's property, the estimated market value on his was $96,900.00 and on Hrs. Ousoski's it was. Hrs. Dusoski: $93,000.00. Mayor Chmiel: Rlght. Councilwoman Olmler: Yet Kermit was reduced by $16,100.00. Hayor Chmiel: Yeah, they have a reduction on that of $16,100.00 to bring that down to $80,800.00. Councilman Workman: What's the estimated property value of your lot? Just the lot. Any ideas? Scott Wlnter: Knowlng the area you're ln, I would say that value ls probably $22,000.00. Councilman Workman: Is this a split entry? Mrs. Ousoski: No. Just a rambler. And the garage is a concrete garage. Councilman Workman: How much square footage do you have? Leonard Ousoski: About 1,600 square feet. Councilman Workman: One of the things I'm going on is Z have a home insured on the road and I'm sure it's insured for $?0,000.00. Now you wouldn't insure a lot but if I did, and that's a split entry and more square footage. Based on that, the $70,000.00 with the $22,000.00 lot meaning it'd be worth $92,000.00. Is that a step down from a spllt entry? Is a rambler a step down from a split entry or a step up? Hrs. Dusoskl: A rambler's down. Leonard Ousoski: It's going to cost me about $7,000.00-$8,000.00 to repair my garage. It's cavlng in. The floor has got hlgh water level. All that dralnage tile in there. It's going to cost me $?,000.00 to $8,000.00 to rework it. Hrs. Dusoskl: Before we could sell lt. Leonard Dusoski: Before I could even sell it. Put drain tile all the way around the house. My garage ls cavlng in rlght now. I can go down 6 1riches Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1~1 deep in the ground and I hit water. You can look on the outside of the house, you've got to go inside that garage and, I'd be glad to sell that house for that price. If you want to give me that price, I'd gladly move out tomorrow. Councilwoman Oimler: I know they couldn't get that for their house. Hayor Chmiel: I think I'd like to make a recommendation on this. I would say that, as I'm looking at others within the particular area, I don't know what's there and I'm not in an assessor. I'm just trying to be fair when it comes to this. I would like to see us drop this $13,000.00. Councilwoman Dimler: I'll second that. Councilman Workman: To BO? Mayor Chmiel: That would drop it down to $80,900.00. Any other discussion? Councilman Wing: Other than to clap. Mayor Chmiel= Being that we're not going to vote on these at this particular time. Well this one I think we should because it's not adjustable. I would like a motion on that. Councilwoman Oimler: You made the motion. Mayor Chmiel: I made the motion, you seconded it. Okay. Hayor Chmtel moved, CouncilNoman Oimler seconded to reduce the assessaent $13,1000.00 for Hr. and Hrs. Leonard Dusoski, 1000 #estern Drtve, R25.1&O0110 to an Estimated Harket Value of $80,900.00. All voted In favor and the motion carried unanimously. Charlie Coffee: Charlie Coffee and I live at 7474 Saratoga Drive. Mayor Chmiel: Is that with a C or K? Charlie Coffee: C, the same way you drink it. Scott Winter: 71. Charlie Coffee: I wasn't contacted. I contacted the assessors myself. ! don't know if I could have been contacted. I gave them, ~ called them after being at the first meeting I left a message and then ! called and got Scott's office. Is the other assessor, is that Ann? Okay, and I talked to her and she said that she had to get to another meeting. That she would get back to me and I gave her my office hours and I never was contacted for, oh I don't know. I guess it was 10 days or so. Finally I called them and ! guess I'm not very well prepared tonight because I didn't have an assessor come in and reappraise my house or anything like that. Z assume that probably with the large bump they gave me that there would be an adjustment. Now in 1988 my house jumped $40,000.00 in assessment and we came up to the meetings and all here and there was a changing at that time and I assumed well after it jumps $2~,000.00 the next time that Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 coming up to the meeting and calllng and talking, that there would be an adjustment there. I assumed that. Well, after not being called I finally oalled again and talked to them and they said, well we're turnlng it in today but we're not making any changes on yours. I said well, I didn't say a whole lot. We talked a little bit about different parcels. Now I see that when I was here before this place was packed and there were 233 people apparently or situations and now I guess there's a lot of happy campers around because I don't see too many in here. I don't have a large beef like maybe some people do. Llke there's a large difference like the one fellow that came up and sald that how the homes around hlm were $30,000.00 less than his and the homes were all the same, etc. and he had a bad yard. I guess my case lsn't that extreme. It's just that I feel $26,000.00 is a large jump and I don't think my home will sell for the amount and then comparing, I talked to a few people around. I just happened to run into a friend of mine yesterday that was selling his house. He's moving to Burnsvllle and he sald that he had up for $149,000.00 and I said well that's what they're selling, they're estimating mine at. He said well my house ls blgger and I sald well, what ls your tax for next year? He says 105. I said oh, 105. That would be a real good deal. I guess I don't understand why we have the large variances. I have people around me and I don't 11ke to go say well Joe is paying this, why don't I pay that and stuff like this. But I guess after a home sells and there was a home that sold for, it was on the market for $149,000. A rambler walkout quite similar to mine but a smaller house with a similar lot and it sold for, it was on the market for $149,000.00. Sold for $137,000.00. Well the taxes for that for next year I was told uill be $125.00. I guess I don't understand the differences in the varlous situations that we have in homes. I don't understand why we have so many variances. The one fellow says I'm paylng $105.00. I've got neighbors that are paylng 2/3 of what their estimate is 2/3 of what my value is and I'm not saying mine's way off. I'm just saylng I don't think I could sell mlne for $149,000.00. I thlnk it could probably go for $139,000.00. Probably $137,000.00 and if they say they try to get 96~ of that. Try to get as accurate as they can, well maybe my assessment should be $135,000.00-$134,000.00. I'm not saying I want a great deal. I'm just saylng I want a falr deal. I see some real good deals around that people have but I don't have one. I have kind of the other end of £t and I see that there were 233 different people that felt the same and apparently 220 of them, as Oon mentioned, had their situations, they've come to a situation where they felt that was just. The person that got up in front of me, they had some situations and they measured some homes around and I think it was fair that you kind of split a difference. And I'm not asklng for hey I want to be baok where I was but I think it should be fairly done from what I... Now there was a home just sold down the way from me and 11ke I say, I'm not prepared. A few blocks away. I guess I'd like to see what the Zaborski's sold their home for and what thelr taxes are for next year. But I dldn't get a chance to get a hold of them since I had short notice that the decislon was made. I don't want else ue need to say. I'd 11ke it looked 1nfo farther. Z would have gotten an assessor out and gone through my home and done this if I thought it was going to be necessary. I dldn't think it was and I wasn't contacted. I had to make the contacts myself. I did give them hours to be contacted. I've had people in my home. Scott's been in my home a c. ouple of tlmes and I just don't thlnk lt's quite at what tt ls and I think I see other people with lesser taxes than what thelr homes are belng assessed at. I guess Z don't always understand that. There's too much of a variance it seems to me. Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 Mayor Chmiel: Good, thank you. How long have you been in your home? Charlie Coffee: We built the home, I think it was 1978. Mayor Chmiel: '78. Do you know how many approximate finished area of square footage you have? Charlle Coffee: We have a rambler and we have about, I think it's 1,900 feet flnlshed area in the house. Haybe it's 1,920 or 1,940. It's 19 something. I put an addltlon on myself about 9-10 years ago. I added a bedroom. Mayor Chm£el: Any other discussion? Councilman Workman: We have no basis from whtch to start from on this one. Mayor Chmiel: You said your taxes for your assessment last year was $109,000.007 Charlte Coffee: No. It was $123,000.00 last year. It was $108,000.00 in 1987 and it was raised $40,000.00 at that time and I came up here and it was, I don't know what you'd call lt. AdJusted I guess and then it was raised agatn 2& and in talk£ng to neighbors and sniffing around and so forth, I thought that was qulte hlgh for slmlllar homes around me. And then I assumed there would be an adjustment or something after we came up and-I talked. I guess I would have done more research if I thought that there wouldn't be one and I guess the reason I was a little left out was because I wasn't contacted and I was told I would be. I gave hours that I'm able to be contacted. Orlin Schafer: Hr. Mayor, I'd like to comment on that contacting. We did contact everyone that we possibly could. We kept trying until the day I had to resubmit this to the Board. Those people that we list here as not being contacted were the only ones that we never talked to. If you had contacted us 10 days after this started, you probably still hadn't given us a chance. I mean we had 230 some people and Scott spent 4 days strtctly telephoning and then he spent the better part of 4 or 5 hours a day on the phone with these people and you would have been worked 1nrc that. We had 20 days to do this in and we were pressed for time. But as far as not being contacted, you took it upon your own volition, that's flne. I have no problem wtth that. But don't use that as an excuse against us for not being contacted. Charlie Coffee: Okay, I called and talked to, called the office and talked to Ann and she was, we talked and then she said she had to get to some meeting of some type which I'm sure she did. Orltn Schafer: She was reviewing some other property I'm sure. Charlie Coffee: Right. So she did that and she said that she'd get back to me. Now, I not knowing what day was what. I didn't hear from anyone for a length of time so I called back again and the day I called was the day she said she was submitting the final whatever it would be. The reports. And that was the time that I had given that ! could be contacted. Now if she was gotng to call me let's say 20 minutes later, then they would have made the contact as you're saylng that they were trying to make but you're saytng I called ahead of that. Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 But it was the day that she was turning them in was the day Z called. I would just kind of wonder if she was still planning to call me. Orlin Schafer: You mean your initial contact was the day you called? Charlie Coffee: No. No, I didn't say that. I said I called the office originally. Scott's offloe and...talk to Ann because that's who Z talked to. Okay, and that was just a few days after we met here. I was told then, she told me then, we talked for I don't know, 10-15 mlnutes. I had to get to class. She had to do something. She had to go to a meeting. That she would recontact me. Okay? So now Z waited, you know Z had these offlce hours and Z walted and I wasn't contacted. Okay, now. I called them back and that was the day she was turnlng them in and she sald she had them all done. Orlin Schafer: Okay. I'll take the blame for this myself because of one simple thing and that ls, had you requested her come out and vlew the property? Or Scott? Anybody? Charlle Coffee: Scott had done that. Orlin Schafer: Okay. I had made the determination we did not have the time to make these follow-ups after we had once contacted and had the discussion with you. She could not give you a number or an indication whether it was going up or down anyhow because she does not have the power to do that. I do not have the power to do that. At this point in time only this Board has that power and the assessments stood until they declde what to do about lt. We never recontacted anyone a second time unless they said I have to know because of some reason or another. We dld not glve any numbers at that polnt in time. No one knew what these numbers were going to be unless they said that's acceptable to me. If they sald that was acceptable, then that's the way the adjustments were indicated. That's a11. Charlie Coffee: Well what the situation amounts to then is that I was I guess kind of misled as to how the operation works because I was told that, by her that they would get back to me. I guess thls ls what happened in 1988 is when Scott got back to me and told me the situation of what was happening with my parcel so I knew. I assumed this would happen thls tlme because ! was told it would and it happened before. Whether it was going to be changed or not changed, I assumed they'd get back to me. Now thls would have given me some time, 11ke I had before, to go out and maybe get an... Orlin Schafer: Well, you see Mr. Coffee the way the system works is when you come here in your original appeal, you're to document everything that you're talklng about. Everything that you have ls supposed to be presented at that first meetlng. Through the courtesy of this Board, you are addressing them a second tlme. Because thls is not how it works. This ls cut and drled on April 2gth. All the documentation was to be submitted that night or shortly thereafter when our appraiser contacted you. That material's all gathered together and brought back to this Board. A week ago they had this documentation to then go through all this. And they could do it at their leisure. You're not being fair to this Board at this point in time asking them to make a judgment on thls tonight wlth no time to respond to it or to lnvetlgate lt. That's what Mr. Ashworth was referring to. That is simply the same answer I gave the other Board of EquaLization and Review - May 20, 1991 couple that was here. I'll stand on the numbers that my appraiser had because. Z don't know any different now and I can't take the time, at this point in time, to investigate it. I don't care, if the Board wants to make an adjustment, that's fine. That's fine with me. Mayor Chmiel= I'd Like to make a recommendation on this one. I see that some property was sold for $L37,000.00 recently. I recaLcuLated values. I would make a motion on this at this particular time to mark that at $140,000.00. Councilwoman Oimler: Second. Mayor Chmiel: That would be reducing it $9,000.00. Any other discussion? Nayor Chmlel moved, Councilwoman OLmler seconded to reduce the assessment $9,000.00 for Hr. Charlie Coffee, 7474 Saratoga Drive, R25.T&lO0~ to an Estimated Narket Value of S140,000.00. Al! voted tn favor and the motion carried unanimously. Pam Freiberg: Pam Freiberg, 2730 Orchard Lane. Mayor Chmiel: Can you spell your last name Pam? Pam Freiberg: F R E I B E R O. Scott Wlnter: Number 10. Mayor Chmiel: This is one where there has been a reduction. Your market value was at $212,100.00. A reduction of $11,000.00 is proposed on that which is bringing it down to $201,100.00. Pam Freiberg: Is there anything that, we're done there? We Just had an appraisal. We're st111 trylng to get a mortgage on the house. We just had an appraisal this week and the gentleman appraised it for $155,000.00. Mayor Chmiel: Do you have that written information that you have on an appraisal for getting loans on that house? Pam Freiberg: We've gotten 3 so far because we're probably golng to sell the house since, anyway that's not here nor there but we can't you know, for the taxes lt's going to hard to sell the house. I don't know what that kind of change will do to the house. $11,000.00. If that's gotng to make a real difference in the taxes. Mayor Chmiel: That brings it down to $201,100.00. Pam Frelberg: Okay, but what does that do to the taxes? I know nothing about. Councilwoman Oimler: That we don't know. Pam Freiberg: You don't know? Board of Equalizatio. a.d Review -- Nay ZO, 199). Scott Winter: At this point we. don't know because the legislature still's in sass ton. Hayor Chmie].: By midnight tonight we may k,ou bu[I wouldn't make any bets. Para Freiberg: ...~uo houses o~er from us that it's the same lot s~ze. SJmiZa~'. Their's was dropped $4,000.00. lheir taxes. ~nd their house is apprai~ed at $22~,000.00. Scott ~J,ter: This o~e was appraised on the appraisal that they had on Jt b~fore in 1988 o~' ~989...and it was based on that information from the appraisal. Pam F'reiberg: Yeah, the house is 2 years old. We built it. I'layof Chmie].: WaZ1 as ~ see that they've gone through and reZooked at it. Zf there was no ad~us~me~t then I'd probably sit here and arbitrate that just a 1.~.t.t].e b~t but being ti~at I see that thee'ye gone ahead and ~ade a reduction of $11,0o0.00, ~ think ~'d have to stand with the assessor on that particular one. scot~ ~intar: ~d it was based on an appraisal they had at that time. Paa Freiberg; Thank you. H~yof- Chmie~: rlnyone else? Councilman ~orkman: ~e don't need to act on it then? Hayor Chaiel: No. Thzt particu~er one has already been, ue will. Don ~shworth: You'll have the larger' ~otion at the end that basically adopts all of those float Fou did not specifically act on. Hayor Chmiel: Right. Anyone else? ~f not. Co~z,c.[~uoma, Dimlet'; I have one. Hr'. D~ve Z~j~h,. He's n~zmber 230 on the ]~st page. Bottom o'[' the p~ge. He was not able to be here tonight but he asked mr, if I uou.ld pl,;ad his cause. He has a valuation of $151,800.00. He feels Lhat's too high for the neighborhood and he said he has made lots of unsuccessful attempts to h~ve the assessor come out and look at it. He was even willing to reschedu~e some p~tients so that he could meet with them and u~s not ~b~e to have that happen. ~ould you like to explain that? Scott Winter: ~e contacted hi~, on Hay 1st and talked to his wife I think at theft time. I wasn't the appraiser that did it but h~d conversations with who did. They said they ~ould contact him ~ithin a week. He did contact us back on Hay lSth is the date he co,t~cted us back to ~sk for the review of his property. The day ue were writing up the information for this Board. ~e did contact him ~,d h~ said...but he u~ited u,til Hey ~Sth to call back... CounciZuo~an Di~le~-: Okay, but between that time you didn't make any effort to 9o out. 8etuee, the t.i.m~ XOLt t~lked to his wife you didn't ~ake an effort to go out and see? 10 Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1~1 Scott Winter: At that point he indicated that he didn't want us out. He would call us to set up an appointment when to come out and look at it so we waited for him to do such. And like Z said, on May 1Sth was the day that he called. Orlin Schafer: Councilwoman, at that time we did, on every one of these properties, whether they requested a review or not or if we went out and looked at their property or not, we did recalculate and check all the field data that we had. So if the property had been looked at within the last couple years, the field data should have been relatively correct. And we chart that back against our schedules and if there's no errors or anything, we left it go. Councilwoman Oimler= He also indicated that the homes in the area, some of them have been for sale there for quite a while and have not sold. Are you familiar with that? Orlin Schafer= Zs their asking price exceeding our estimated market value? Councilwoman Oimler: Z don't think so. I think he said it was a home that was in reposession. Orlin Schafer: ! mean this is what we find many times is even $10,000.00 or $12,000.00 difference between our value and their asking price is enough to prohibit a sale and we are at market value. We are very close to it. Councilman Wing: Hr. Zamjahn lists several properties that sold in the last year and this is one that ! was called on personally. I looked at the home. They have an unfinished basement and the homes pointed out tn the neighborhood that sold for $130,000.00 and the one house that went for $141,000.00 ! believe is the number he used. Clearly was a larger home than hts. And Z see his house as selling in the 130 range up to the [40 range. I find this one very excessive. Mayor Chmiel: What number iS that Dick? Councilwoman Oimler: Number 230. The same one I was talking about. Orlin Schafer: Which property were you referring to that sold for $130,000.007 Councilman Wing: I'm just using his numbers that he's got. Orlin Schafer: Where did you get those numbers? Oh, off his data sheet. Councilman Wing: Off his data sheet and then we walked through the neighborhood pointing them out. I don't see that his house as a leader in that neighborhood by any means. Councilwoman Dimler: Right. Councilman Wing: So not when I saw him appraised well over what the houses had sold for, what Z anticipated the neighborhood selling for, I was rather startled. I clearly support his case. Councilman Workman: Have you got a motion for a number? 11 Board of Equalization and Review -- May 20, 1991 Councilwoman Oimler: I'll move that we go with $142,000.00. Councilman Wing: I think that's higher than he would have wanted but I'll compromise with a second. HayoF Chmiel: It's been moved and seconded to lower the market value. Councilwoman Dimler: From $151,800.00 to $142,000.00. Councilwoman Dimler moved, Councilman Wing seconded to reduce the assessment $9,800.00 for Hr. David Zamjahn, 7506 77th Street, Chaska, R25.S&IO040 to an Estimated Harket Value of $142,000.00. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Chmiel: I too had just one more. That was number 35. Frances Jacques. Councilwoman Dimler: She got a good reduction. Mayor Chmiel: Yeah, they lowered that $23,100.00 which is making the value of that $87,900.00. Again, I'm not appraiser. I'm not in the real estate business but I have a pretty good handle as to total dollars that I would pay for a home. I've only bought ? homes so I think I might be a bit qualified for that. That is over the past 35 years. I don't own all 7. I own one for clarification. And in looking at this home, $87,900.00 to me still seems rather excessive. Can you enlighten me7 Scott Winter: ...reviewed this one because she kicked me off the property and I wasn't golng to go back there. So Ann Wise went out there. So I can't give you, I wasn't in it. I didn't get to measure lt. I have no idea what the property ts like. Mayor Chmiel: Well I've been in the home and I know the downstairs is not done. And it's just the upstairs and it's probably about, I was told the age of the home and I don't recall. Orlin Schafer: Is this sitting on a larger lot? Scott Winter: It's a double lot in original town but it's not, where the house and that sits I don't think allows for any type of use of any of the additional land but it lsa much larger lot than most... Orlin Schafer: I think that's a comment that Ann had made is that there was more lot value involved in this one than normal. But she dld note the additional depreciation of things like you're talking about. Scott Winter: The basement and garage were in very terrible shape. Things like that she took into consideration. Orlin Schafer: And I had looked at that myself. And as I said, I had been in the home before so I know what's there and $87,900.00 to me seems excessive yet. And from where it was increased from what it was, the $50,000.00, I would almost suggest that we drop that another $10,000.00. I'd probably pay $75,000.00 for 12 Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 it if I were to buy it. Just my own. Councilman Wing: Mr. Mayor, the one you're discussing, it dropped $23,000.00. Okay and as a resident of the community you're suggesting that it goes down another 10, which I have no problem with. This $111,000.00 then is an extreme. ! mean we're talking a major over valuation. Mayor Chmiel: Well that's one way the assessor gets an opportunity to get back inside the door. Scott Winter: Again, without having any information, we had to stand at the curb and say the house looks this big to me. It looks this good and we put it at the top of the range for those types of houses. I mean if the property owner isn't going to allow you any information about the house, that's what you have to do. Orlin Schafer: And it isn't that small a property as I recall. Ann dtd not think it was, I mean with her measurements and so forth, it calculated out very close to $111,000.00 or $112,000.00 if it had been in better condition. The decrease that we gave it was strictly because of it's condition. Added depreciation expressly for the basement where they're having a wall problem and the garage. Councilwoman Oimler: Okay, so the decrease was not based on getting tnslde the home? Orlin Schafer: Well it was on that because we didn't know those things existed. mean if it had been in average condition for the size of the home based on the lot it's on, it'd be worth $1L0,000.00 or $112,000.00. Mayor Chmiel: Scott, I can understand if she tells you to get out, you'd move. You'd go. There's no question. Orlin Schafer: And we used the depreciation that we used on other homes to reduce it that $23,100.00. I mean I cautlon my staff that these are substantial reductions. Why were we so high to begin with? I mean that's why I wrote the note to the Board outlining the fact that these are substantial reductions. Acknowledging of course that there had been some substantial increases so it's klnd of a two edge sword there that we're dealing wlth. Mayor Chmtel: Right. Well I have on the floor a motion. Councilwoman Oimler: I'd second that motion. That brings it to $77,900.007 Mayor Chmiel: That brings it to $77,900.00. Councilwoman Dimler: Yeah, bring it to $77,900.00. Mayor Chmiel: Any further discussion? Councilman Wing: I just wish we had the power to do that to all of these Don. I support your posttton though. 13 Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 Mayor Chmiel: Well, if I had time to go out and look at each one I probably would but as I say, I don't. I don't know their particular job. It's just my gut reaction. What I feel. Orlin Schafer: I think there comes a, excuse me Mr. Mayor. I think there comes a point in time, the Board members do have to take our expertise to account for something. We're not doing this to pass the time of day. You're employing us. You're paying us under contract. You do have to acknowledge our expertise at some point in time. Councilman Wing: Appreciate that we're starting at the State level. The system and then coming down to where you're really not guilty other than following the State system. There's obviously disagreement with the State system but there's so many reductions here which means there are so many that are inaccurate and over their market value and these are the only ones that complained. I know if we had advertised and made this clear what the rules are, we could have filled up an auditorium and we could have had a real. Well, with the number of people that complained, for everyone that complained there's 2 that didn't because they gave up or they didn't think it was worthwhile or don't even know the process. So we're only at the tip of the iceberg. It just, at any rate Mr. Mayor. I didn't mean to get. Orlin Schafer: The other side of that Councilman Wing is that 60~ of these received some kind of a reduction. 40~ did not. There's like 60 of them that received nothing, or at least our indication was that there was nothing warranted. Mayor Chmiel: Yeah, this is still raising this particular one $20,000.00 more than it was before. We have a motion on the floor with a second. Mayor Chmiel moved, Councilwoman Dimler seconded to further reduce the assessment $10,000.00 for Frances 3acques, 308 Chanvtew, R25.0500390 from the Assessor's recommended Esimated Market Value of $87,900.00 to $77,900.00. voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Chmiel: There's one other thing I would like to bring out. I'd like to add a parcel which I had asked Don to add to our last packet. The parcel is the Eckankar parcel. I asked the Board to consider leaving 10 acres of this parcel tax exempt with the remaining 170 acres as tillable farm property with a dollar assessed as such and I would make that motion. Orlin Schafer: Excuse me Mr. Mayor. Are you representing Eckankar7 Mayor Chmiel: I'm representing the City. Orlin Schafer: I'm sorry, this is not the forum for that one. Mayor Chmiel: In accordance with our Attorney, I think we can do this. Orlin Schafer: The Board of Equalization rests with the County level. Mayor Chmiel: well, I'm going to put this through to such and I have made the motion. I'm looking for a second. 14 Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 Councilwoman Dimler: Would you say that agatn please? I didn't catch it. Mayor Chmiel: I'd like to add a parcel which I had asked Don to add to our last packet. Maybe if I just glve you some background on that. I think most the Councll was aware of it because I've also talked to the County Board. Whereas the Eckankar presently has a complete exemption on that parcel. At one time we were receiving about $13,000.00 in taxes. That was dropped. According to the Assessor, if I'm not wrong, he has the authority to do that and to move it as such. In my opinion we have never been, the City was never brought into discussion. I feel that that's not an appropriate move for us and I'm proposing this particular motion to clarify that because I don't think, whether it be my church, St. Hubert's or any other church in town, I would not allow that to happen. And I feel that we should at least have them taxed at that farm rate as I mentioned. Councilwoman Dlmler: Okay, the 10 acres is exempt but the 170, the remaining at the farm rate? Mayor Chmiel: That's correct. Councilwoman Oimler: I'll second that motion. Mayor Chmiel: Any other discussion? Councilman Mason: So you're doing this, could you Just repeat why you're doing this Mayor? I'll admit to not quite following what's going on here. Mayor Chmtel: I'm saying technically that the parcel in total is under church and I think churches are entitled to tax exemption with a certain portion but not the entirety of the parcel that they own. Of that being the balance of roughly 170 acres, or a total of 170 acres is what they have. In other words, the entirety of the 170 acres would completely'be tax exempt. I don't think that's right. As I said, it wouldn't be right for St. Hubert's. It wouldn't be right for the Lutherans or the Methodist or anyone else. It's...and I feel that we should reach a solution to this In making that parcel taxable back to at least the $13,000.00 that we did-have previously. Richard? Councilman Wing: I support your position. I would only ask a clarification that this be the proper forum. I don't understand that. Can that be accomplished? Mayor Chmiel: From my understanding with discussion, yes we can. Councilman Workman: So we are in effect ordering the Assessor to? Mayor Chmiel: No. I guess basically what we're doing ts appealing to the County Board the decision that was made. Orlin Schafer: The decision as I understood it, being clarified by the County Attorney and by the State Department of Revenue is that they made application for the exemption and that is empowered in my department and ! made the recommendation or I made the decision to make it tax exempt based on their application. Now I don't know exactly how, that would have to clarified to me 15 Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 by our County Attorney how the Board would turn around and start taxing something when lt's listed as tax exempt. I have no way of knowing that. That would have to get clarification. Mayor Chmiel: Well Orlin I'm not arguing the point that Eckankar is entitled to be where they're at. I'm just saying that if we, as a Clty, have 1,500 ohurches come into town and acquire the balance of the property, where do our taxes go? There has to be a stop somewhere and that's what I'm saying. They're entltled to tax exemption but not the entirety of the property. Orlin Schafer: I'm not going to belabor the polnt here elther Mayor but I guess I question the route we're taklng on this. I mean I have no problem wtth them paylng tax on that property. I st111 have to look at how lt's being used for the taxation of it and you know, that aspect of it will be something else agaln. If you as a Board are suggesting that they become taxable on any portion, you must then give them notice that they will be taxed in 10 days. Wlthln a 10 day period and again hold another Board, hold another hearlng and go through those...and give them a chance to appeal. Mayor Chmiel: What we're doing is making this as a recommendation to the County Board. If the County Board so chooses, then you go through your process and they'll glve direction for that. Councilwoman Oimler: Can we put that in the form of a resolution? We as a body can have a resolution. Orlin Schafer: I don't think Boards of Review can make resolutions. I thlnk they have to refer that to the Council as a whole and then the Council makes a resolution. So it comes out of these Minutes. It can't come out of these Minutes as a resolution. Scott Winter: If I could make one point. For point of equalization then are you saying you're using 10 acres for this. I don't know if lt's Lutheran or whatever church on TH 5, or used to have thelr acoess off of TH 5 rlght by the hi11. Now they have 15 or 20 acres. Are you saying then 10 or 15 acres of their should be taxed... Mayor chmlel: I'll go as much as up to 20 acres on this particular one. Councilman Mason: Well if it's 20 acres for one it's got to be 20 acres for another. Mayor Chmlel: That's right. That's why I changed it from the 10 to the 20. councilwoman Oimler: Basically what we're saying is churches are tax exempt now up to 20 acres. Scott Winter: I just wanted to get that point of view because I think you should do it as a city wide equalization. Mayor Chmlel: I went and looked at the other churches and each of the other churches are much less. Now the Lutheran church, are you sure that it's at 20 acres? It doesn't look 11ke a 20 acre parcel. Board of Equalization and Review - Hay 20, 1991 Scott Winter: It's a long strip along. Orlin Schafer: Long narrow strip. Scott Winter: Along the highway there. Councilman Workman: All the way to the new TH Scott Winter= No. Yeah. Councilman Workman: That's not the£r's anymore. Scott Winter= It isn't their's anymore? Mayor Chmiel= No. Don Ashworth= Yeah, Rosemount purchased the first portion and actually the City had purchased part of it. That was part of that whole assessment question. Then there was further acreage reduction, I'm not sure tf that was a reduction but Roberts Automatic straightened out the line. The line used to Jog and they straightened the line out. Scott Winter= Z just wanted to make sure that you didn't say one and point to another one as over that acreage amount and that's really what... Mayor Chmiel: Whatever the Lutheran church size to. Councilwoman Dimler= Or the largest parcel already in existence. Mayor Chmiel= Right. Any additional discussion? Nayor Chmiel moved, Councilwoman Otmler seconded to ask the County Board to consider making the Eckankar parce! tax exempt for the total acreage equa! to the largest church parcel currently in the city and the remainder of the Eckankar property to be taxed at the farm rate. Al! voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously. Don Ashworth: We need one motion now that would adopt all of the changes by the Assessor not already made. Councilwoman Dimler: Can ! make the motion? Mayor Chmiel: Certainly. Be my guest. Councilwoman Dimler: I have a surprise. I move to approve all the reductions as recommended by the-Assessor's office and all those with which we dealt here this evening. And then also on top of that, all other residential properties that didn't get an adjustment be reduced by 2~. Mayor Chmiel: Ail other no adjustments or is it 2~? Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 Councilwoman Dimler: All residents. Don Ashuorth: The question is "what percent decrease on residential properties equals 1~ of ali values (maximum adjustment allowed by Statute)"? Councilman Wing had asked me earlier today what does that equate to and I had thrown out, don't know. I would guess somewhere around 2~. I have no idea if that's a correct number or not. Councilwoman Oimler: Is our legal limit 1%7 Then I'll go with that. Whatever our legal limit is. Don Ashworth: But as I mentioned to Councilmember Wing, that type of an adjustment could very easily put us below the theshhold where the State could come in and move all parcels back up 5~ or &~. You get to a point with that type of a change that you may create more harm than good. Orlin? Orlin Schafer: In fact I've got to go before the State Board June 3rd and argue three jurisdictions already in the County that we are on the threshhold of 89.9 and they were going to glve us $~ increase. I mean I do not want to see Chan back in that situation that we had only l~ to play with in years past. It happened many times. It was due to the assessment process that we boosted it out of the 89 percentile over the gO. This year ue started out at 93~ and we were hoping to hold that. I mean thls ls the flrst year we've managed to do that in the 3 years I've been here. I really don't want to see that happen where we have to go down there and spend 45 mlnutes arguing with people who don't care one way or the other and they'll just put a blanket on. Councilwoman Oimler: I understand that. I guess the reason, as I read this report I was really frustrated because I saw that out of the 232 that ue had presented, 139 of them recelved adjustments uhlch is well over 1/2. Then the lowest satisfaction that anyone got was $900.00 and then all the way up to $136,500.00 and I know that was commercial but still, and I just was real frustrated wlth what again, seeing homes in the same neighborhood. Some got adjustments. Some dldn't get any and so I thought the way to equallze that was to give them the legal limlt of reduction. Mayor Chmiel: But if you look at the total numbers...uithin the city, this would rank about a 5~, uhlch is not bad. Councilman Wing: It's like an election. You know only a certain percentage vote and the one's that vote speak and I thlnk the ones that came in and took the time to complaln or filed thls adjustment are the ones we're dealing ulth on a percentage wise. And it left me also feeling that the valuations are maybe a 11ttle hlgher than they need be. They've been created artificially hlgh and if we allow them to sit at what I consider to be somewhat artificially high based on these adjustments, then the next adjustment ls just continuing thls trend of going out of sight and I don't know when it's going to stop. Mayor Chmiel: Yeah, that's true and if I can just ride on that a little bit. My market value went up also. I didn't contest it only because of the position that I'm sitting but mlne went up another $23,000.00 as well. Councilwoman Oimler: Yeah, I'm in the same boat. But I think those that took 18 Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 the time you know, if it isn't going to bust our whole system here. Mayor Chmiel: Well I get concerned with that and I sort of agree with Orlin on that particular point of if we start changing it and start requesting for the additional 2 then he's got to go back and fight with the system and it is a problem. I would just as soon not, at this particular time but you have a motion on the floor and 1'11 call for the second. Zs there a second? Councilman Wing: I'm going to second that only because I think I'd like to see the Council take a stand and kind of draw the line. I guess I would have preferred even 1~ less complication but at least allow us to say, that's really not a large devaluation but it says we hear what you're saying and we think things are getting out of hand. Councilwoman Dimler: And I don't mean to throw us into trouble so can we just leave it at the percentage? Like I said, if it's 1~ that keeps us out of trouble, 1'11 go with 1. Orlin Schafer: Can I ask a question? Mayor Chmiel: Yes. Orlin Schafer: When you stated that, did you mean only those people listed here or are we talking...? Councilwoman Oimler: Yes. Only the people that came in and didn't get any adjustments. Or do you want to go. Mayor Chmiel: No, ! couldn't go that. Councilwoman Oimler: Do you want to go total? Okay, total. Councilman Workman: Didn't the City of Mtnnetonka 2 years ago do that? A blanket 1~. It isn't 1~. Orlin Schafer: 1~ is the maximum you can take off your roll. Councilwoman Oimler: Then that's fine. Councilman Workman: That's what Z thought you were talking about. Councilwoman Oimler: Well that's fine with me. I'd love that. Mayor Chmiei: Then you're going to have everyone come in and start. Orlin $chafer: These reductions already indicate a fourth of 1~ that are in here so if you're going to add to that, you're dealing with less than a half a percent. And a half a percent on a $68,000.00 house is not going to amount to a whole lot except a lot of book work. (There was a tape change at this point in the meeting.) Don Ashworth: ...1~ of all values within the community. Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 Orlin Schafer: That's why I cautioned you not to lower, I mean not to reduce or decrease the amount we were dropping on some of these because we recognize, In a lot of these as you read through this, you'll find that we were not allowed access on the initial assessments. On the initial review of the property and so as a result of those revlews, we have galned access when we made the adjustments and we did them numerically. It was not done by percentages or broad based blankets. Mayor Chmiel: I thlnk too that what we're looking at is everybody's assessments are going up. There's no question. There's got to be a leveling spot and a stopping polnt because before we know lt, people who can afford those houses rtght now, I think as I mentioned before, can afford to pay even $10,000.00 or $12,000.00 in taxes. But when it comes to them selling their home, they've got problems because there aren't that many people that want to assume that amount of taxation. But on the other hand, we as a city in the past 3 years have reduced taxes as far as the city is concerned. We have kept our taxes down by being as efficient as we have been in reviewing budgets and the rest of lt. Z think it would probably be not in the best interest at this time other than maklng the motion of, well we've got a motlon and a second on the floor. We'll have to vote on it. Let me flnish what I was going to say. At least making our concerns back to the County indicating what we basically feel. And I thlnk part of your motion did stress that potnt. Discussion Tom? Councilman Workman: I'm out there looking at homes right now. I sold my home and now I have to buy one. It's real depressing out there. Now what home sellers are basing the prlce of thelr home on Z don't know but I tell you what, we as younger people in the community pull up to these houses and say you've got to be klddlng me you know. And not only would I not glve you what you want but I wouldn't give you half of what you want. So I don't know who's fluffing it all up but it's fluffed up. I guess I sold my home, I'll tell you guys later what I sold my home for. I sold my home for higher than the assessed value and you know where I 1lye Scott and Z probably sold it for more than anybody's sold their home in the neighborhood. I'm proud to say that. So people are willing to pay a 11ttle blt more and a 11ttle blt more and lt's creeplng up somehow but I like the flavor of Ursula's idea and I guess I've been thinking about that ever slnce I knew I was golng to slt on this ugly Board again. I don't know that I see that it really throws things out of kilter as much as it does say to people, and we don't have a whole lot to base on thls 1~. How lt's affecting things but to say to people that we've got this tool to use and we're going to use it. And when people have come here to talk about thelr hlgh assessed value and they start talking about the taxes, we all say wait a minute. Wait a mlnute. We're not talklng about taxes. We're talklng about assessed values. Well I'm going to turn that around and say I am talking about taxes tonight in how they relate to the assessed value in that we're all really frustrated and believe me we're going to be even more frustrated in the next couple years. Mike and I were talking about you know lt's tough to have any respeot for legislature these days and what they're trying to pull off. Oo we dig ourselves a hole by redu¢lng it 1~? Oo we oause problems? Do we cause budgetary problems down the road? I don't think we do but I don't know that for certain but I like the flavor of that 1dca and that we're, we don't have very many tools and we're klnd of all sitting around. What can we do and that's one thing we can do so let's do lt. 2O Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 Orlin Schafer: Mr. Mayor7 Mayor Chmiel: Yes Orlin. Orlin Schafer: You as a Board can do as you wish. I'm not trying to you know insinuate that you shouldn't even think about it but I will caution you a bit and that is that anytime any Board has ever moved to make that 1 percentile decrease in value, by whatever percent it took to do it, the State has Jumped on them like bees on honey. Z mean they scrutinize us the way it is and they wtll scrutinize you for the next 5 years. As soon as and if something is a little bit out of kilter, they are on our doorstep. Councilman Workman: And again, that's why I don't have a whole heck of a lot of respect for looklng down towards St. Paul and all the players down there. We're clean aren't we Don? If they wanted to look at us. Scott Winter: I just want to, as a person that's going to be out knocking on people's doors next year also, or as soon as this Board gets over in fact. Tomorrow I'll start again on next year's assessment. Looking at number one on your, from the appeal. Mr. Tchen from Cascade Circle which is an area I'm going to go through. You are going to lower that and say Ursula's decision goes through at 2~. Next year I'm going to go in where this person Just bought this home at $138,000.00 and is assessed at $119,000.00. I'm going to raise him from your lowered value up. Where am I to stand then at that? I mean you're already saying that he came in. You're going to lower it and you expect me to go out there and say hey I'm going to raise you up $20,000.007 I mean where do you want to put me in this position also because I have to deal with all these people now too. Councilwoman Dimler: Are you saying 2~ would bring him down to what? Orlin Schafer: You'd only lower him $1,000.00 but it's still, how do you go out and explaln then that you're golng to add $18,000.00 when thts Board established a value at. Scott Winter: Saying that he was too high. You're going to lower him 2~ already and then how am I going to go out and say that I need to raise his value. Mayor Chmiel: Right. I understand your position. Councilman Mason: I'm all for making statements too. Heaven knows I've made. more than my share in the past but I think something like the ramifications of something like this, I think perhaps are a little further reaching than just making a statement to the State saying we don't like what you're doing. I think we can do that in other ways. I'd love to give 10~ to everybody you know but I don't know that that's our place. And I disagreed with some of the stuff the gentlemen over there have said tonight but on the other hand I think what Scott said is true. If we take out 1~ now, he's got to put that back on next year and then more than one person's going to tell him to get lost and I think we're just kind of, I don't know. Kind of the old Oon guixote at the windmills right now with that. I mean I think we should make a statement but I wonder if there's a better way to do it. Not a better way. Oifferent way. Board of Equalization and Review -- May 20, 1991 Councilman Workman: But that's going to get put on their next /ear no matter what. If we don't do this or if we do do this. Councilwoman Dimler: It will just be $1,000.00 more next year. Councilman Mason: I guess I take into account what Mr. Schafer said about being scrutinized the next 5 years too and the paperuork involved with all this. I guess I question if it's worth to do that but. Councilwoman Dimler: Mr. Mayor if I might make a friendly amendment to my own motion? Mayor Chmiel: I'm open for a friendly amendment. Councilwoman Oimler: Okay, again I will move now to approve all the reductions as recommended by the Assessor's offlce and those wlth whlch we dealt here thls evening plus a 1~ reduction for all other residential property in the city. Mayor Chmiel: Will the second accept the friendly amendment? Councilman Wing: With due respect to Mr. Mason and Mr. Schafer's comments, I will. Mayor Chmiel: Okay. We now have a motion on the floor with a 1~ overall reduction. Councilwoman Oimler moved, Councilman Wing seconded to approve the recommendations by the County Assessor's office plus a 1~ reduction for all other residential property in the city. All voted in favor except Mayor Chmiel and Councilman Mason who opposed and the motion carried with a vote of 3 to 2. Mayor Chmiel: Would you like to restate yours for your no vote? Councilman Mason: I'll just stand by what I said. I hope we're not creating a tempest in a teapot here. Making more trouble than it's worth I guess. Mayor Chmiel: I guess that's really my position. If I had the opportunity to reduce taxes as much as we have in the past and contlnue to do that, I'd love to do it but I don't want to see us get into a precarious position with the State. councilwoman Dimler: I don't either. Mayor Chmiel: With that I would move for adjournment. Orlin Schafer: Mr. Mayor, if I could only have just a comment. So I understand this motion because we have to push a lot of buttons here. The reductions made in the listing will stand? They don't get the additional 1~? Councilwoman Oimler: Right. Orlin Schafer: Then all other residential in the city will get 1~, according to your motion? 22 Board of Equalization and Review - May 20, 1991 Mayor Cheiel: That's exactly Don Ashworth: Hay [ ask. There's different classes of residential right? mean we're not talking about multi family? Solely single family residential? Orlin Schafer: Right. I understood it to be all residential.
