CITY OF ST. ANTHONY
BOARD OF REVIEW MINUTES
May 14, 1985
The Board of Review was called to order by Mayor Sundland at 6:30 P.M.
Present for roll call : Marks, Ranallo, Sundland, Enrooth, and Makowske.
Also present: David Childs, City Manager; and Robert Hanscom, Hennepin County
Assessors Office.
The only appeal of the County's 1985 assessment for City property was contained
in the April 30, 1985 letter from the law firm of Lapp, Lauri & Smith, representing
the St. Anthony Shopping Center, which Mr. Hanscom confirmed-, the Attorney General
had ruled met the legal requirements to get the appeal heard before the Board of
Equalization in July.
Motion by Councilman Enrooth and seconded by Mayor Sundland to maintain the valuation
for the St. Anthony Shopping Center set by the Hennepin County Assessors Office.
Motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Ranallo said he had received several inquiries about how the valuations
had been adjusted for tornado damage, indicating one resident, Tony Martin, 3421
Edward Street N.E. , had told him he had suffered over $50,000 in damage but the
valuation of his home had gone down only a few thousand dollars. Mr. Hanscom
responded by reminding the Councilman that only the homsteaded residential property
had been adjusted and then, only the damage to structures, and not .to trees, had
been considered for a decrease in taxes. These deductions were pro rated over
the months which remained in 1984 after the tornado, the assessor said. Mr. Childs
added that in his discussions with several homeowners that the County's estimates
of damage had varied no more than $500 from the insurance claims for the same
properties.
In the Martin case, Mr. Hanscom said, the initial 1984 assessed valuation had
been $85,400 which had been reduced to $64,500 following the onsite inspections
he and three other assessors had made immediately after the storm. According to
the County Assessor, the Martin property estimated market value for 1985 was
$84,200.
The Assessor urged City officials to refer any questions about valuations to his
office.
Motion by Councilman Marks and seconded. by Councilman Enrooth to adjourn the Board
of Review at 6:50 P.M.
Motion carried unanimously.
Respectfully submitted,
Zlen Crowe Secretary
