AGENDA ITEM 6E
Michael Grochala
August 22, 2011
Consideration of Resolution No.11 -86, Authorizing the Execution
of a Licensing Agreement with Anoka County for Access to the
STAR -Lite System for retrieval of Property Information
3/5
From time to time it is necessary for staff to retrieve property information from the Anoka
County Property Records and Taxation Division. To date, the availability of this information has
been limited to record retrieval at the Anoka County Government Center in downtown Anoka.
Additionally, a fee was required for copies of recorded documents from the county.
Recently, the County has offered to municipalities the option for city staff to access certain
property information via a web based program. The web based STAR -Lite System would give
staff the ability to access the Anoka County property records, recorded documents, torrens
certificates of title, tax and assessment information directly from the city offices. The
information available is the same system that is currently used in the Public Research Area at the
Government Center.
Retrieval of property information via a web based program would provide city staff with a more
efficient and economical means for record retrieval.
In order to access the STAR -Lite System, the city is required to enter into a License Agreement
with Anoka County.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of Resolution Number 11 -86, entering into an Agreement with
Anoka County for Access to the Anoka County STAR -Lite System for retrieval of Property
Information.
