Staff members present: City Administrator, Randy Schumacher, Community

The purpose of the special Council meeting was to have City Assessor, Todd Smith
review the procedure for the Board of Review which will follow this meeting.
Mr. Smith gave each Council Member a copy of a presentation titled, "1996
Assessment/Payable, 1997". A copy of the document is attached to these minutes. Mr.
Smith reviewed each item on this document ending with the 1996 Assessment - Sales
Ratios.
Council Member Kuether noted that 10% of all parcels in Lino Lakes are either tax
exempt or tax forfeit. She expressed concern because the new Centennial Middle School
may be creating more tax exempt parcels. Council Member Kuether asked Mr. Smith to
use the same format as the top of his document and prepare another document showing
commercial/industrial properties separate from residential properties. She also asked Mr.
Wessel to prepare a schedule showing which properties are receiving a Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) benefit and when the TIF benefit will expire.
Mr. Smith briefly explained that he has received approximate 65 telephone calls from
property owners regarding their property values. Most of these telephone calls have been
resolved and these persons probably will not be at the Board of Review this evening. Mr.
Smith noted that several telephone calls will require additional investigation before the
property owner is satisfied. Mr. Smith will provide a list of all property owners who have
contacted him.
The work session was adjourned at 6:20 P.M.
These minutes were considered, corrected and approved at a regular Council meeting held
on May 13, 1996.
