MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager b~
DATE: April 17, 2002
SUBJ: 2002 Board of Review
Each year the City Council sits as the local Board of Review and Equalization.
Attached you will find the duties and descriptions of a local Board of Review (see
attachment #1).
On Monday night, residents will have the opportunity to provide either written or
oral objections concerning their property valuation or classification. In the past,
the City Council has listened to the individual comments and then directed the
County Assessor to contact each property owner to set up a time to review their
property. After the last comments have been received on Monday night, the City
. Council should make a motion to continue the Board of Review to May 13, 2002,
at 6:30 p.m., and that the County Assessor provide a written recommendation for
each objection received. At the Mày 13th meeting, the City Council will make the
final decision on each of the parcels.
The County Assessor has informed me that they are not expecting a large turnout
for this meeting and are expecting fewer than 10 formal requests for this year.
That is down dramatically from previous years. I have also attached a copy of the
appeals received to date.

attach to the assessment roll a statement that the notices .have been mailed. Any assessor
who is not provided sufficient funds from the assessor's governing body to provide such .
notices may make application to the Commissioner of Revenue to finance such notices.
The Commissioner of Revenue shall conduct an investigation and if satisfied that the
assessor does not have the necessary funds, issue a certification to the Commissioner of
Finance of the amount necessary to provide such notices, The Commissioner of Finance
shall issue a warrant for this amount and deduct the amount ftom any state payment 'to the
county or municipality. The necessary funds to make such payments are hereby
appropriated. Failure to receive the notice shall in no way affect the validity of the
assessment, the resulting tax, the procedures of any board of review or equalization or the
enforcement of delinquent taxes by statutory means. (M.S. 213.121)
LOCAL BOARD OF REVIEW. DUTIES
The town board of each town, the council or other governing body of each city, is the
board of review except:

2. in any city or town that has transferred Its local board of review power and duties to
the county board as provided In subdivision 3.
The county assessor shall fix a day and time when the board or the board of equalization
shall meet in the assessment districts of the county, On or before February IS of each
year the assessor shall give written notice of the time to the city or town clerk.
Notwithstanding the provisions of any charter to the contrary, the meetings must be held
between April I and May 31 each year. The clerk shall give published and posted notice
of the meeting at least ten days before the date of the meeting. The board shall meet at
the office of the clerk to review the assessment and classification of property in the town
or city. No changes in valuation or classifieation which are intended to correct errors In
judgment by the county assessor may be made by the county assessor after the board of
review in those cities or towns that hold a local board of review; however, corrections of
errors that are merely clerical in nature or changes that extend homestead treatment to
property are permitted after adjournment until the tax extension date for that assessment
year. The changes must be fully documented and maintained in the assessor's office and
must be available for review by any person. A copy of the changes made during this
period in those cities or towns that hold a local board of review must be sent to the county
board no later than December 31 of the assessment year.

SECTION: 4110
PAGE: 3
The board shall determine whether the taxable property in the town or city has been
properly placed on the list and properly valued by the assessor. Ifreal or personal
property has been omitted, the board shall place it on the list with its market value, and
correct the assessment so that each tract or lot of real property, and each article, parcel, or
class of personal property, is entered on the assessment list at its market value. No
assessment of the property ofany person may be raised unless the person has been duly
notified of the intent of the board to do so. On application of any person feeling
aggrieved, the board shall review the assessment or classification, or both, and correct it
as appears just. The board may not make an individual market value adjustment or
classification change that would benefit the property in cases where the owner or other
person having control over the property will not permit the assessor to inspect the
property and the interior of any buildings or structures.
A local board of review may reduce assessments upon petition of the taxpayer but the
total reductions must not reduce the aggregate assessment made by the county assessor by
more than one percent. If the total reductions would lower the aggregate assessments
made by the county assessor by more than one percent, none of the adjustments may be
made, The assessor shall correct any clerical errors or double assessments discovered by
the board of review without regard to the one percent limitation.
·
A majority ofthe members may act at the meeting, and adJourn from day to day until
they finish hearing the cases presented. The assessor shall attend, with the assessment
books and papers, and take part in the proceedings, but must not vote, The county
assessor shall attend the meetings. The board shall list separately, on a form appended to
the assessment book, all omitted property added to the list by the board and all items of
property increased or decreased, with the market value of each item of property, added or
changed by the board, placed opposite the item. The county assessor shall enter all
changes made by the board in the assessment book.
·
Except for taxpayers in the town or city whose town or city elected to transfer its powers
and duties to the county, if a person fails to appear in person, by counsel, or by written
communication before the board after being duly notified of the board's intent to raise the
assessment of the property, or if a person feeling aggrieved by an assessment or
classification fails to apply for a review of the assessment or classification, the person
may not appear before the county board of equalization for a review of the assessment or
classification. This paragraph does not apply if an assessment was made after the board
meeting, as provided in Section 273.01, or if the person can establish not having received
notice of market value at least five days before the local board of review meeting.

LOCAL BOARD DUTIES TRANSFERRED TO COUNTY
The town board of any town or the governing body of any home rule charter or statutory
city may transfer its powers and duties under subdivision I to the county board, and no
longer perform the function of a local board. Before the town board or the governing
body of a city transfers the powers and duties to the county board, the town board or
city's governing body shall give public notice of the meeting at which the proposal for
transfer is to be considered, The public notice shall follow the procedure contained in
section 471.705, subdivision Ic, paragraph (b). A transfer of duties as permitted under
this subdivision must be communicated to the county assessor, in writing, before
December 1 of any year to be effective for the following year's assessment. This transfer
of duties to the county may either be permanent or for a specified number of years,
provided that the transfer cannot be for less than three years. Its length must be stated in
writing. A town or city may renew its option to transfer, The option to transfer duties
under this subdivision is only available to a town or city whose assessment is done by the
county. (M,S. 274,01, subd 3)
ALTERNATIVE REVIEW OPTION
The county shall notify taxpayers in the town or city, whose town or city board elected to
transfer its local or city board of review powers and duties to the county, that their
attendance at the local board of review is no longer a prerequisite to filing in tax court.
However, prior to the time of the county board of equalization, the county shall make
available to those taxpayers a procedure for a review of its assessments, including, but not
limited to, open book meetings. This alternative review process shall take place in April
or May. (M.S. 274.13, subd. lc)

Re: Market Valuation for 7580 Quattro Drive, Prop. 10 #07-116-22 31 0069
Dear Mr. Gerhardt,
Please consider this letter as an appeal to the 2002 Real Estate Valuation for the
property listed above. I have contacted Mr, Ray Shudy of the Hennepin County
Assessor Department and have not been able to reconcile the estimated market
value to what I believe is true market value. I have been in contact with
commercial realtors from Welsh Companies and CB Richard Ellis and they have
stated that commercial real estate prices are soft. Below are some comparable
properties in this area that I'm making my statements on:
1.) Electro Scientific Industries building (PID 07-116-22-31-0070) at 7600 Quattro
(next door) is the same type of building and has been on the market for six
months. Offers are coming in at about $45-50/ sq. ft. The listing agent says
he's hoping to get between $50-54/sq. ft.
2.) Versatil, (prO 07-116-22-34-0017) across the street is being listed at $42/ft,
3.) 7677 Equitable Dr., in Eden Prairie recently closed at $54/ft. This is a 34,000
sq. ft. office/warehouse with 24' clear warehouse in very desirable area.
I believe a more accurate Market Value for the subject property would be in the
range of $1,150,000 to $1,200,000, I respectfully requestthat the subject
property be adjusted to reflect a more accurate market value. Should you have
any questions or require additional information. please feel free to contact me.
(
Thank youJÓr your consideratiòn on this matter.
