He noted that he had met with the council at <br />their work session last week at which time the valuation process was discussed in detail. <br />Mr. Guggenberger noted that property owners receive their valuation notice in March and between <br />then and now, county assessor staff work with anyone who contacts them to answer questions, resolve <br />concerns and make recommendations on any changes. He noted that there have been 98 contacts. <br />He is providing a list of administrative changes that he is recommending (attached as Exhibit A). <br />30 Mr. Guggenberger explained that values have jumped in the past fifteen months; Lino Lakes' <br />31 valuation increase average is 23%. This is not unusual with an average of 20% in Anoka County. <br />32 It's a trend that is seen throughout the state. <br />33 <br />34 Mayor Rafferty asked if there are any outstanding questions related to Lino Lakes' properties and Mr. <br />35 Guggenberg responded that there is one property owner in attendance. His name is Andrew Gabler, <br />36 1980 Norma Way, and the identification number of his property is 26-31-22-14-0076. Mr. Gabler has <br />37 a homestead issue with the current payable year (that can be straightened out by the County) and he <br />38 will also be working with staff on his valuation based on his recent purchase price. <br />39 <br />40 Mr. Guggenberger reviewed the actions proposed to the Board in Exhibit A (noted as Agreed 10 Days <br />41 Prior to LBAE). <br />42 <br />43 Councilmember Cavegn moved to make changes as recommended.
