Mr. Jaworski and Mr. Rosengren arrived late. The notice of the meeting had been posted and published as required by law. Mr. Schwartz handed out data to the Councilmen concerning the 1969 Personal Prop- erty Return, the Exemption Declaration, the Exemption Information Bulletin and the Leased Equipment Report. He stated the purpose of the meeting tonight was to re- view and correct the assessment of all persons considering themselves aggrieved by their assessment on personal property or new buildings. This concerns the 1969 assessment, base for taxes payable in 1970. No one in the audience had any grievances concerning personal property taxes. Several had questions concerning their real estate assessment of 1968 for taxes payable in 1969. These were heard as a matter of courtesy by the Council and were not under consideration this evening. 1. Mr. Pierre Nadeau was concerned about the old farm house he had sold on Birch Street, stating the taxes seemed too high. The Assessor explained that this home had not been Homesteaded for 1968 and this was the reason the taxes seemed high. These people have since filed Homestead and their taxes will go down. Mr. Nadeau then questioned his own home, stating that his taxes had been over 0200 on a capped basement and 20 acres and was concerned about what his taxes would be when his home is completed. (Later on in the meeting Mr. Nadeau decided he could qualify under the Green Acres Law.) A 2. Mr. Ed Houle, 7566 Peltier Drive, stated that taxes on his farm had doubled in one year. Mrs. Sarner advised him to contact the County Assessor's office and ask for a reassessment. She volunteered to do this for him but he did not consent. 2()O, 3. Mrs. Dale Kolbow, Lakeview Avenue, stated she thought their taxes were too high, but was informed by Mrs. Sarner that their home was not homesteaded on the books, although the Kolbows thought this had been done. She was told to contact the County Assessor's office. 4. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Gates stated they were paying too much for taxes and knew their home was Homesteaded. Mrs. Sarner felt this was correct and thought this to be a clerical error at the County level. They were told to contact the Assessors office and they could get a refund for excess taxes paid in 1968. 5. Mr. Vernon Lehman presented the problem of his mother -in -law, Mari Gunderson, paying $52 taxes on five feet of land in Twilight Acres. She had purchased five feet of additional land to add to her lot because her house was too close to the lot line. Mrs. Sarner stated this was definitely a clerical error and told Mr. Lehman to contact the Auditor's or Treasurer's office. 6. Mrs. Vivian Rehbein stated that she had purchaesd one acre with a garage -like building on it next to her bus garage. The building had since been removed and the one acre had been assessed at $2,862. She was told to get a re- evaluation form from the County and they would send someone out to re- assess the acre. Mr. Schwartz then told the details of the Green Acres Law. (Form on file in Clerk's office) This law is a tax deferment for farmers who are farming their land but have been assessed at market value. If they meet all of the qualifica- tions they could pay taxes on an agricultural level and have the market level taxes defered until such time as they sell their land. Mr. Schwartz stated that under a new law, starting June 1, 1970, new homeowners could qualify to file Homestead for only half a year. They can do this by filing an affidavit with his office. He also stated that new laws concerning assessing are being made and these would be made available to the Village ks,esor who in turn would make them available to the Council. Pete Nadeau questioned about the time to complain of taxes that are too high. Mr. Schwartz explained that this is done only in even - numbered years except for personal property and new buildings. In 1970 the Council as the Board of Review would have the power to either lower or raise the assessment of an individual. Mr. Rosengren moved to sign the tax review certification, seconded by Mr. Jaworski. Carried. Mr. Jaworski moved to adjourn at 9:00 p.m., seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried.
