Washington County Update – Attorney Kevin Magnuson
Washington County Attorney Kevin Magnuson explained he met the Council and staff for the
first time at a Hugo Area Business Breakfast. He lives in Lake Elmo with his wife, son, and
daughter in a house previously owned by his parents. He was in private practice for 20 years.
The previous County Attorney, Pete Orput, encouraged him to run for office. He said the culture
of the Office is to do the basic things in the right way and to be there to help but not at the
expense of public safety. Kevin said they are committed to training law enforcement officers
and work closely with the Sheriff’s Office for on-demand training.
Kevin shared information on the East Metro Human Trafficking Taskforce that was started in
2016 and is a combination of local law enforcement, federal law enforcement, Homeland
Security and the Washington County Offices who collaborates to fight human trafficking. In
2023, there were 43 human trafficking cases investigated in Washington County. Many of those
cases were connected to runaways, and there is a focus on youth and parent education to work on
the runaway situation. The Attorney’s Offices is trying to do more public speaking and
engagement and will do presentations on whatever people want to talk about
He shared that in 2023, there were 1,118 criminal complaints filed, which was down from 1,346
in 2022 and 1,246 in 2021. The downward trend could be to the backlog during Covid that
brought the numbers up and new employees that took over cases. Numbers were higher for
specific types of cases over the Covid years. Cases now are more complex with all the digital
evidence collected, and a new computer system and staffing will help them with that.
In 2023, there were six murders. Fleeing from police had skyrocketed, and there were 102
incidents in 2023 where they were charged. Auto theft had also been a problem with 46 cases in
2023. Kevin talked about some of the large drug cases that had successful results. Kevin talked
about how the Covid years have affected juveniles, and he predicted that generation will struggle
with a different criminal attitude, so they were working on diversion. They are seeing more
mental health and chemical dependencies issues, and there are not enough treatment facilities.
Kevin said he is on the legislative task force to make recommendations on how to get some relief
for that. He talked about the veteran diversion program started by Pete Orput saying a lot of the
work was done by volunteers.
Mayor thanked him for coming and said Pete Orput would be proud he was carrying on the
things he started. He encouraged Kevin to reach out to the Hugo Area Business Association and
attend one of their meetings.
Hopkins Schoolhouse Progress Report – Liz Cinqueonce
City Administrator Bryan Bear reminded Council that last summer, Council approved the 15-
year lease agreement with the newly formed Hopkins Schoolhouse and Heritage Center (HSHC)
Committee. The building and property are located at 5970 170th Street North. It is owned by the
City and is operated by the group under this agreement. The agreement established milestones
that serve as a guideline on the restoration of the schoolhouse. Members of the committee were
in attendance to report to Council on their progress in the last year and provide information on
their next milestones.
Council Meeting Minutes for March 4, 2024
Page 3 of 7
HSHC Board President Liz Cinqueonce began by thanking the Council for allowing the project
to move forward and said the Council’s confidence in them made a difference in their
fundraising and what they were able to accomplish. Highlights in 2023 included finalizing the
agreement with the City that included partnership with the Forest Lake Historical Society, which
serves as the fiscal host until the non-profit has been formed. Liz explained that once the
determination letter from the IRS was received there were steps to take to become a non-profit.
Once that happens, the agreement would transition to the HSHC.
There are nine board members and currently 35 volunteers. A group of MBA students had
worked on their business plan. Restoration activities included trash removal, and some artifacts
were cataloged. Precise Exterior and The Sealant Technicians repaired the roof and chimney.
The soffit was repaired by Northern Bedrock, and Floyd Petty completed the painting of it. The
stairs did not get done, but the poured concrete will happen in the spring. Trail cameras were
installed. Volunteers provided input on the site plan for the schoolhouse grounds.
Liz talked about how they met, or didn’t meet, their Measures of Success. Enough money was
raised through fundraising to complete the roof, chimney, and soffits. They were still working on
money for siding. They saw interest from the community increase when things started
happening on the site. They expected the repairs on the window and siding to be completed this
fall. Other unexpected accomplished included interest by Connexus Energy to bring power to
the site. Materials had been secured for glass block windows, display cases were donated by
Rolseth Drug in Forest Lake, and the Petty’s were gathering donations for a garage sale.
Fourteen of their 20 Measures had been completed. Four of the uncompleted were due to the
IRS determination.
A video was presented of the proposed site that showed 11 parking spaces, watering station for
horses and dogs, hitching post for horses, picnic area with bike racks, shelter with trash
receptacles, and enclosures for portable restrooms. Also included on the drawing was a building
the Snowmobile Club had talked about last year, though there had been no recent conversations
with them. The volunteer who put the plan together owned a landscape design company and
was donating the labor and plans for making this come to life. She acknowledged formal
approval of the site plan would be needed from the City Council.
Liz talked about the goals they had for 2024 that included completing the 2023 goals, advancing
progress on the site, and raising community engagement and fundraising. Restoration plans for
this year were to replace stairs, windows, siding and side door, and running basic electric to the
site. They also wanted to have an approved site plan for the grounds and continue with grounds
cleanup. They were also looking for engagement from students and other history groups.
Planning components included ADA compliance by adding a ramp and the preparation of plans
for septic system, well, and plumbing inside the building, and other structural components.
Klein asked if they were working with the Hugo Historical Commission. Liz replied that
Commission Member Brad LeTourneau was a member of the Board of Directors and took the
lead on the plans that were presented. He was also an ex-officio member of the Forest Lake
Historical Society. Klein also inquired whether they approach Anderson Windows for donations.
Liz replied they were on their list, and the HSHC was also considering having community
members purchase a window for the school.

Weidt congratulated them on the work they had done so far saying it was good to see progress.
He encouraged them to keep pushing forward and keeping the Council up do date. He said the
plans look great and it is exciting to see.
Community Development Department Annual Report-Associate Planner Max Gort
Associate Planner Max Gort presented to Council the 2023 Community Development Annual
Report. This report had also been presented to the Planning Commission and the EDA.
Max compared the population estimate from the Metropolitan Council of 16,354 and the
historical trend of Hugo’s population increasing by 350 residentS every year. This would put
Hugo’s population of 17,000 in 2024. Max provided information from the past ten years that
showed the total number of planning applications submitted went down to 41 in 2023 from a
total of 59 applications in 2022. There was a spike in applications during the pandemic years.
He reviewed the types of planning requests that showed the number of applications for plats and
PUDs to be at the highest in the past ten years. There were 121 permits issued for single family
homes, which was fairly average except during the pandemic years. The Building Department
performed slightly less inspections in 2023 with a total of 3,797. Of that total, 527 of them were
in Scandia. There was a total of 161 single family units available and he presented a map that
showed most were in the Oneka Prairie and the Shores of Oneka Lake developments. In 2023,
there were four large residential projects approved, and some were still in motion. Non-
residential projects included Premier Bank and Xcel Training Center Expansion. The developer
withdrew his application for the City owned downtown property, and the City would be working
with the DNR to address issues raised there. In 2023, staff worked with MnDOT on the
Highway 61 Visioning Study, revised the Solar Ordinance, and did improvements at the Oneka
Parkway and CSAH 8 intersection and the 159th Street and TH61 intersection. This year, the
City will need to work on the Cannabis Ordinance, which needs to be done by January 1, 2025,
and on revisions to some residential ordinances.

PROGRAM
Our Intervention Program works in partnership with
parents, schools, and the justice system to develop
healthy, positive decision-making skills and interrupt
harmful behavior patterns.
Our staff helps youth who are involved in
higher-risk behavior understand that they
are responsible for the outcomes of their
decisions and empower them to make
better choices. By using programs
designed to reduce problem behaviors,
our intervention programs help individuals gain vital
development skills that lead to healthier relationships,
better decision making, and a deeper connectedness with
family and community.
We believe the advice, guidance, and involvement
of parents and guardians is essential for a
youth’s success in life. Through parent/
guardian involvement in this program,
positive values are reinforced and integrated
into daily life.

INTRODUCTION The Washington County Assessor Division has prepared this 2024 Assessment Report for use by the County Board, City Councils, Town Boards, residents, and staff. This report includes specific information regarding the 2024 assessment, as well as general information about both the appeals and assessment process. Minnesota statutes establish specific requirements for the assessment of property. The law requires that all real property be valued at market value, which is defined as the usual or most likely selling price as of the January 2nd assessment date. The estimated market values established through the 2024 assessment are based upon actual real estate market trends of Washington County properties from October 1, 2022,
through September 30, 2023. From these trends, our mass appraisal system is used to determine individual property values. Detailed discussion of the sales analysis can be found in the “Sales Analysis” section of this report. The summaries breaking down the adjustments made in each community, by property use, can be found in the “Past and Current Year Adjustments/Parcel Count” section of this report. Property owners who have questions or concerns regarding the estimated market value that has been established for their property are encouraged to contact the property appraiser responsible for their area. In most cases, an interior inspection of the property will be necessary. For detailed discussion regarding the appeals period, please refer to the section of this report titled “Other Assessment Related Information.” Lisa Young, S.A.M.A. Washington County Assessor

SALES ANALYSIS SECTION
Sales Analysis The assessment function is governed by Minnesota State statute. The law requires that all real property be valued at market value, which is defined as the usual or most likely selling price as of the assessment date of January 2nd of each year. Assessors are historians and measure the market based on sales which have occurred previous to the assessment date. Assessors do not create the value or predict what the market will do; rather, the assessor’s job is to follow the patterns set by the real estate market. Information on the sales of real estate is of paramount importance to the assessors in a market-based property tax system. Sales information is required to be submitted electronically using the program developed by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. This program is known as the Electronic Certificate of Real Estate Value (eCRV). The Department of Revenue requires all County Assessors to utilize a specified time period for sales analysis. This time period of 12 months is from October 1st through September 30th preceding the assessment date. Sales within this time period will be used to determine the changes in assessed value that may be needed in each community for the impending assessment. For example, the sales that occurred between October 1, 2022, and September 30, 2023, are used to establish the January 2, 2024, assessed values. The assessor’s office is charged with setting estimated market values for tax purposes at actual market value. The relationship between sales prices to estimated market value is called the sales ratio. The target median ratio range is set by the assessor’s office for all Washington County communities (for all classes of property); the range established for the 2024 assessment is 93%-96%. We make every effort to make certain that each municipality in Washington County falls within this range. In this way, we ensure an equitable distribution of the property tax burden for all Washington County taxpayers.
Sales Statistics Defined In addition to the median ratio, we have the ability to measure other statistics to test the accuracy of the assessment. Some of these are also used at the state level. The primary statistics used are: Median Ratio This is a measure of central tendency. The median of a sample is the value for which one-half (50%) of the observations (when stratified) will lie above that value and one-half will lie below that value. The median is not susceptible to extreme observations referred to as outliers. We use this ratio, much like the mean, not only to measure our assessment level, but also to analyze property values by municipality, type of dwelling and value range. These
5 | Page
studies enable us to track market trends in neighborhoods, popular housing types and classes of property. Arithmetic Mean Ratio The mean is the average ratio. Unlike the median, the mean is influenced by outliers. We use this ratio not only to measure our assessment level, but also to analyze property values by municipality, type of dwelling and value range. These studies enable us to track market trends in neighborhoods, popular housing types and classes of property. Within the county, we strive to achieve a ratio within the 93%-96% range for the median and mean. This allows us a margin to account for a fluctuating market and still maintain ratios within state mandated guidelines. Coefficient of Dispersion (COD) The COD is used to measure the accuracy of the assessment. The COD indicates the spread of the ratios from the mean or median ratio. The goal of a good assessment is a COD of 10 to
20. A COD under 10 is considered excellent and anything over 20 will result in an assessment review by the Department of Revenue. Price-Related Differential (PRD) The PRD is used to measure value related inequities in the assessment, referred to as regressivity or progressivity. Appraised values are regressive if high value properties are under appraised relative to low value properties and progressive if high value properties are over appraised relative to the low value properties. The PRD is found by taking the mean (average) ratio of the sample and dividing it by the weighted (aggregate) mean ratio. The acceptable range is .98 to 1.03.

Arm’s-Length Transactions The Department of Revenue requires all County Assessors to utilize a specified time period in their sales analysis. This time period is 12 months from October 1st through September 30th, preceding the assessment date. Sales within this time period will be used to determine the changes in the prior years assessed value in each community for the impending assessment. The sales that occur within this October 1st through September 30th time period, each year, are closely scrutinized by the appraisers within the Assessor Division. Evidence suggesting a forced sale, foreclosure, a sale to a relative, or anything other than an arm’s-length transaction requires the sales to be disqualified from the sales study. This is important, because the real estate sales information constitutes the statistical basis for determining the annual adjustments that are made to the valuation models. An arm’s-length transaction is any transaction in which buyers and sellers of a product act independently and have no relationship to each other. The concept of an arm's-length transaction is to ensure that both parties in the deal are acting in their own self-interest and are not subject to any pressure or duress from the other party. The following graphs and charts show the number of arm’s-length transactions that occurred within each sales period.

Residential Lender-Mediated Sales Foreclosures Properties in which the financial institution has repossessed the home from the owner due to non-payment of mortgage obligations. Short Sales Unique arrangements where the financial institution and in-default homeowner work together in an attempt to sell the home before it is foreclosed upon. In both situations, lenders are highly motivated “sellers”, which can result in discounted asking prices as they attempt to move the assets quickly from the balance sheets. Lender mediated sales are not used in the sales study.

Residential Sales Statistics The sales statistics (Number of Sales, Low Sale Price, and High Sale Price) are based on data collected from sales that occurred between October 1, 2022, and September 30, 2023. The remaining statistics are measured after the percent of change factor (local effort) is applied to the going-in ratio (previous year assessed value/sale price) in each community for the 2024 assessment. If there are 30 sales or less in a community, the median is the only statistic deemed reliable.

Appraiser Activity: Permit & Quintile Review Counts Current state law mandates that all property must be re-assessed each year and reviewed once every five years (aka quintile). Staff also inspect properties that have taken out a construction permit during the course of the year. During 2023 (for the 2024 assessment), the Assessor Division appraisers and locally hired assessors reviewed 28,708 properties. Below is the breakdown of the properties that were reviewed over the last five years.

Appraiser Activity: Tax Petition Related Minnesota Tax Court has been established by the Minnesota Legislature for the purpose of hearing only tax related cases. The Court’s judges have expertise in tax laws and apply that knowledge in a manner to ensure that taxpayers are assessed in a fair and equitable way. The tax petition process is a complicated and ever changing part of our business. The entire process continues to consume a large amount of our Commercial/Industrial/Apartment appraiser workload. The table below provides a summary of the petition filings in Washington County over the last five payable years. Petitions related to taxes payable 2023 decreased in the number of
petitions filed by 8.8% or 15 petitions. The only property type that showed an increase in filings is the apartment class. Total value under petitions filed for pay2023 increased roughly 28.8% when compared to the previous year. The residential value under petition had a substantial decrease. The total value under petition increase is a result of the apartment class. These properties have experienced substantial value increases over the last several years.

Assessment Process: Statutory Requirements Minnesota law establishes specific requirements for the entire property tax system, including the assessment of property (M.S. Chapter 273). These requirements have not changed during the past year. The laws require the following: 1. All real property is to be valued at market value, which is defined as the usual or most likely selling price at the time of assessment. Special qualified exclusions such as the Veterans’ Exclusion are subtracted from the market value to arrive at the taxable value. 2. Property is classified according to state law, and the tax capacity is calculated. 3. The tax capacity is multiplied by the tax rate (the total of county, school, city, and miscellaneous levies) to determine the amount of property tax. The annual property assessment focuses on the very first step of this process - establishing an estimated market value for each parcel of property. Market values are assessed locally by either a county employed appraiser or a locally hired assessor. The work of both county and local assessors is monitored by the County Assessor, whose work is in turn monitored by the Minnesota Department of Revenue. The monitoring agency is authorized by law to adjust the property assessment to help ensure county-wide and state-wide equalization of property assessments. The County Assessor has established the standard that all Washington County communities, with at least six (6) sales in their sales study, has a community median ratio in the range of
93%-96% of actual market values in relationship to time-adjusted sales prices. At times, local assessment levels have been adjusted by the County Assessor or the State of Minnesota. State law also requires that each individual property be reviewed by the assessor at least once every five years. Each community has a rotating revaluation schedule to ensure that this requirement is met.
What is market value? Minnesota Statue 273.03 defines market value as “… the usual selling price at the time of assessment.” The Assessor’s Office works throughout the year to estimate market values of each property for the following January 2 assessment date.
41 | Page
How is market value determined? Review Property: Approximately every fifth year, an appraiser working under the supervision of the County Assessor will review the property. Any property that had a building permit issued in a given year is reviewed and the new value is calculated as of January 2nd following the construction. Gather Information: The appraiser gathers information on all characteristics of the property that affect market value, such as size, age, quality of construction, basement finish, and extra features, such as fireplaces, walk-out basements, et cetera.
Compute Value: The characteristics are entered into a computerized system (CAMA). Information on actual market sales is used to establish the building and component rates used to calculate the property’s market value. The market value estimated by the appraiser should be very close to the amount the property would sell for, if placed on the open market. Why may market value change from year to year? Property values change continuously depending on the economic conditions affecting the local market. In addition to market changes, physical changes made to a property can also affect its market value. All factors are considered in estimating the value of property.

Appeals Process In Minnesota, property tax laws provide the legal parameters that govern the work of assessors. These statutes lay down a cycle of assessment activities that are conducted on an annual basis. Each year, assessors are required to work on a number of tasks that include listing, valuing, and classifying all taxable properties; processing both real and personal property transfers; analyzing market data; monitoring assessment levels for several different classes of property; and arranging and conducting an appeals process. The latter of these activities is a key part of the assessment cycle that provides property owners with an opportunity to review and, if necessary, challenge their estimate of market value and/or classification that will be used for taxation purposes in the following year. At what point in the assessment cycle does the appeals process begin? The appeals process begins in March and extends through June. When property owners receive their Valuation Notices during the month of March, they should read them carefully for instructions about deadlines, filing procedures, meeting dates and times. If they are not clear, they should call the assessor’s office for clarification and additional information because a missed deadline, an incorrect filing, or the failure to attend a scheduled meeting can cause an appeal to be dismissed. What steps should property owners take to appeal their assessments? There are two avenues of appeal that property owners may take to challenge their assessments. The first route is referred to as the three-step appeal and the second is known as the one-step appeal. These steps are illustrated in the flow chart on the following page. How should property owners begin their appeal? Property owners are encouraged to contact their appraiser to discuss their property assessment concerns. An informal meeting can be scheduled to review the property, examine market data, answer questions, and clarify the valuation and classification practices used. This discussion can also be handled by telephone, mail, or e-mail during regular business hours.

Move approval of the attached notice vacating the drainage and utility easements located over

The property is located in the Woods of Bald Eagle Development on the shore of Bald Eagle
Lake. The property is 1.93 acres in size with approximately 1.29 acres of wetlands. The City
maintains drainage and utility easements over the wetlands on site. The applicant, Raj Alexander,

previously thought to be wetland. The easement vacation will allow for the applicant to have
enough space to construct an accessory building. Staff is comfortable with the applicant’s request
