CITY OF LAKE BRONSON

Local Board of Appeal and Equalization

APRIL 13, 2010

Mayor Cammie Taylor called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 13, 2010.

Present were Council Members Dale Klegstad, Travis Rector, and Mayor Cammie Taylor.

Absent were Council Members Jimann Cozzen and Joyce Storeby.

Also present were Marian Paulson and Dianna Anderson, Kittson County Assessor’s Office, Roger Davis, Lawrence Lindstrom and Megan Hanson, City Clerk.

Roger Davis was in to inform the council that his property is no longer used for commercial purposes as Judy’s Beauty Shop closed effective January 1, 2010. He would like the classification changed for taxes. Rector made a motion, seconded by Klegstad, and carried out unanimously to remove the commercial classification for the property owned by Roger Davis.

Lawrence Lindstrom was in to appeal the value assessed to his property. Mr. Lindstrom feels that a value of $50,000 is too high considering the property is located in Lake Bronson in Kittson County. There was discussion about appraisals and real estate agencies that Mr. Lindstrom had contacted. Marian Paulson explained how they determine the assessed value of properties. Other property values were reviewed as well. After much discussion, Klegstad made a motion, seconded by Rector, and carried out unanimously to reduce the assessed value of Lawrence Lindstrom’s property from $50,000 to $42,500.

Marian Paulson presented the council with a listing of properties that are eligible for homestead credit. Eligibility is determined by relationship to the homeowner. The council also reviewed copies of the county’s sales listings from October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009. Marian Paulson reported that there will be Local Board of Appeal and Equalization training on July 14, 2010 at 9:00 a.m. at the Kittson County Courthouse.

Rector made a motion, seconded by Klegstad, and carried out unanimously to adjourn to the next regular scheduled council meeting at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, April 19, 2010.
