CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Study Session Letter No. 18
Agenda April 7, 1997
Issue Statement:
Status of airport related issues.
Background:
Recent developments regarding airport issues include the following:
e Runway 4-22
At two recent airport meetings it was casually mentioned by MAC representatives that
the 4-22 litigation needs to be resolved. The City of Richfield has offered a tolling
agreement to allow dismissal of the lawsuit without prejudice. It is currently unclear why
the MAC opposes such an agreement.
Runway 4-22 will not,be used as extensively this summer as previously anticipated.
Even though the Planning and Environment Committee voted unanimously to proceed
with reconstruction of the south parallel runway, the MAC board made the decision to
delay the project for one year. Northwest Airlines had numerous objections to
proceeding with the reconstruction. Statements made by NWA include:
. * the marketing and physical development staff were unaware of the proposed
project;
concern that the aircraft delays during reconstruction will be excessive and more
than they can tolerate with their planned schedule during the summer;
the need for cooperation between staff, pilots and towers.
The construction period of Phase I will last from April or May of 1998 to August, closing
the west-end section of the south parallel runway. Phase II of the reconstruction will
commence in May of 1999, end in August, and reconstruct the east-end of the south
parallel runway. Both construction periods will result in a greater traffic count on 4-22.
The MAC has verbally agreed to assist Richfield and Bloomington in the process of
informing residents about the reconstruction. Nigel Finney has agreed to begin
discussion on this matter in late summer.
e Termination of Lease Agreement
After the introduction of legislation by Senator Dave Johnson and Representative
Edwina Garcia, the MAC agreed to sit at the negotiating table and hammer out
differences. City staff and attorney met with MAC representatives on two occasions in
March in order to make changes to the Rich Acres lease agreement. By March 26 both
parties had reached an acceptable agreement.
As previously discussed in Council Memorandum No. 43, the basic terms of the
proposed settlement include:
• The MAC would agree not to retake the ballfield portion of the lease premises until
October 31, 1998 at the earliest.
* The MAC would provide the City with a phasing plan which would outline the
timeframe for retaking portions of the lease premises. The phasing plan would also
provide for potential continued use of portions of property such as the golf course
and ballfields during some utility construction work.
• The MAC would withdraw its notice of lease termination.
* The City of Richfield would agree to change the term of notification from 18 months
to 90 days.
• The MAC would agree to not retake the lease premises until all EIS activities are
completed or 90 days prior to the start of construction, whichever is later.
It is requested that the Richfield City Council review the proposed changes and provide
comment to staff at the April 7 Council Study Session. The MAC's Planning and
Environment Committee will be discussing the word changes of the lease agreement at
its meeting on April 8 (2 p.m. in Room 301 of the Lindbergh Terminal- this item is last
on the agenda). Final action by the MAC board will take place at its regular meeting on
April 21 [the date of April 14 was incorrectly stated in Council Memorandum No. 43].
The Richfield City Council would take then take action on April 14 or April 28; as
directed by the City Council
Termination of Lease Agreement: Relocation of Recreational Aspects
• The golf course task force will meet on April 8 at 5 p.m. at City Hall to continue option
discussions.
The ballfield task force has developed three sets of replacement alternatives. These
alternatives will be reviewed by the schools and then the general public. The reviews
are expected to be completed by mid-May. A final decision by the City Council would
be required by mid-June. This time schedule would permit bid document to be
prepared and bids let so that work could begin in October 1997. If this schedule is
maintained construction would be completed by September 1998. Maturation of turf
requires one year, so fields would not be available until September 1999. [see Brauer
March 10 memo]
The Met Council, Department of Natural Resources, National Park Service, Minneapolis
Park and Recreation Department and Richfield Recreation Department continue to
brainstorm alternatives to using excess land in the area. The next meeting of this group
will be on April 3.
• MAC Part 150 Sound Insulation Program
Beginning in January 1997 over 100 Indoor Air Quality tests have been conducted on
homes before they enter the MAC Part 150 Program. Pre-tests are conducted to help
assure proper combustion appliance safety and adequate indoor air quality for
• homeowners.
Results of MAC Indoor Air Quality tests indicate that many of the unsafe (ventilation)
conditions listed in the Star Tribune's October 5, 1996 article are pre-existing and are
not a result of Part 150 modifications. The conditions have not identified through
current code enforcement processes. Findings of the preliminary test identify that:
Approximately 10% of water heaters, 18% of furnaces and 37% of ovens exceed the
VSC's CO standard of 100 ppm.
75%-80% of the homes entering the Part 150 Program failed the gas appliance
venting test. Approximately 50% of the homes failed due to "spillage" problems;
almost all homes that are failing the spillage portion of the vent test have obvious
vent system deficiencies that are in need of correction.
Tests indicate that 25-30% of the homes entering the Part 150 Program failed the
VSC's house tightness standard and had air leakage levels less than the total floor
area standard.
Based on these findings homeowners who do not meet the program house tightness
standard will be required to:
• make additional ventilation modifications;
* correct the venting systems from water heaters, furnaces and space heaters;
• correct all water heater, furnace, space heater and oven deficiencies necessary to
meet the standard priorto entering the sound insulation program.
In effect, "homeowners will assume full responsibility to reduce the impact of the
contaminant sources and may be required to provide modifications as required prior to
entering the Part 150 Program." Assuming responsibility of modifications requires
financial input by homeowners. The new process most certainly will result in a public
outcry.
• New Ford Town and Rich Acres Acquisition
The most recent status report for acquisition and relocation is as follows:
1. Phase V: The acquisition and relocation process has begun for Phase V business
owners. Seven initial interview meetings have been held as of March 17. This
completes the Phase V initial interview process for owners of businesses and multi-
family dwellings located on 66th Street East. Initial interview meetings are
anticipated to begin with tenants between April 14 and July 4, 1997.
2. Eighth House Auction: The eighth public house auction was held on Thursday,
March 13. Thirty-five houses were sold. [results are attached]
Recommended Motion:
Discuss current airport issues.
19 Basis of Recommendation:
It is important for the Council to provide direction to staff regarding airport concerns.
• Alternative Recommendation:
Defer discussion to another date.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter will be discussed at the Study Session of April 7, 1997.
Respectfully submitted,
James . Prosser

RE: Preliminary Project Schedule
Brauer and Associates, Ltd. #97-05
Gretchen,
The following design and construction schedule has been prepared for your review for the replacement of athletic facilities due
to the lost of the Metopolitan Airports Commission property. I have indicated the approximate amount of time required for
each item to be accomplished as well as a date based upon the current planning process being completed by May 1, 1997.
Anticipated Design and Construction Schedule
Item Description
I Completion of Planning Study.
2 Preparation of Design Plans.
3 Bidding of the construction projects.
4 Award of construction contracts.
5 Construction of improvements.
6 Maturation of field turf.
Time Reauired for_Com?letion /Tentative Completion
2 months ....................................................... May 1, 1997
4 months ........ .....................................September 1, 1997
1 month ......... ........................................October 1, 1997
/2 month ........ ......................................October 15, 1997
4 to 6 months ....................................September 1, 1998
12 months ..... .....................................September 1, 1999
This schedule has been developed based upon our past experience with similar projects and the assumption that normal cost
effective methods of construction would be use on this project. We are also assuming with this schedule that all improvements
required would happen simultaneously. Should phasing of the construction of the improvements be required due to budget
or other considerations, this schedule would lengthened accordingly.
Should you need additional information or have questions regarding this schedule please call.
Sincerely,
Brauer a sates:
George W Watson

Study Session Letter No. 17
Agenda April 7, 1997
Issue Statement:
Discussion of final action to complete consolidation of Richfield Fire Relief Association
with PERA Police and Fire Fund.
Background:
For the past two years the Richfield Fire Relief Association and the City have been
cooperatively working to effect a consolidation of the Relief Association pension fund
with the PERA Police and Fire Fund. During the course of this very time consuming
and complex process, a number of ancillary events have had to have taken place.
The most significant and certainly the most challenging event is the passage of a bill by
the Minnesota legislature to permit a change in the benefit structure of the Richfield
plan to provide an incentive for the currently retired individuals to vote in favor of
consolidation. That bill has now passed a number of hurdles but has not been finally
adopted by the legislature.
The Fire Relief Association has taken all applicable votes by their organization to
proceed with consolidation in anticipation of the final passage of the bill in the next
• month or two. In addition, there are other considerations which make it important for
the consolidation process to be completed by the City by the end of April 1997.
The consolidation of the Richfield Fund with PERA provides a rare opportunity for the
City and the members of the Fire Relief Association to share in a "win-win" situation.
While benefits are increased for the membership, the cost to the City will actually be
decreased.
At the April 7, 1997 Study Session City staff, including representatives of the Fire Relief
Association, will brief the City Council regarding the status and pending action
regarding this important matter.
Recommended Motion:
Discuss the current status of the pending Richfield Fire Relief Association consolidation.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. The City Council has previously given preliminary approval to consolidate this private
pension plan with the State PERA plan.
2. The pending consolidation is a benefit to the Relief Association members and the
City as a whole.
0
3. Official action by the City Council will be required in the month of April to complete
this consolidation in a timely manner.
Alternative Recommendation:
The City Council could decide not to discuss this matter at the Study Session and bring
the matter to a regular City Council meeting.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item has been scheduled for the April 7 Study Session because of the critical
nature of the timing of this pending consolidation action.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Study Session Letter No. 16
Agenda April 7, 1997
Issue Statement:
Discussion of items to be completed for Phase II of the Shops at Lyndale.
Background:
Phase II of the Shops at Lyndale is nearing full occupancy. A letter of credit was
submitted by CSM Corporation in the fall of 1996 to cover the cost of some items
relating to the shopping center that were identified by staff as incomplete. The following
work was identified by staff, are covered by the letter of credit and are to be completed
by June 30, 1997:
• Install five bike racks (the bike racks have arrived and will be installed once snow
removal is no longer an issue).
• Screen gas meters on the north wall.
• Complete all landscaping (CSM was unable to complete landscaping last year
because of installation of the right turn lane).
• Locate, uncover and bring to grade two manholes located adjacent to Emerson
Avenue.
• • Extend the irrigation system approximately 100 feet and replace the sod in the
center median of 77th Street.
• Place three pedestrian ramps at the area of 77th Street and Colfax.
• Repair damage to 77th Street caused by removal of the south curb.
• Construct a masonry trash enclosure for the in-line shops.
A crosswalk across 77th Street was built at the intersection of old Colfax Avenue. The
entrance to the shopping center is located approximately 100 feet to the east of the
vacated Colfax Avenue, so the crosswalk does not connect Colfax Avenue on the north
side of 77th Street with the shopping center entrance. The crosswalk location was
studied and staff recommended that the crosswalk not be moved to match the existing
intersection location because that would require relocating the noise wall opening. The
location of noise wall openings was an important issue to the neighbors during the
planning of 77th Street. The crosswalk was left at its previous location but CSM will be
installing three new pedestrian ramps to make the existing crosswalk accessible to
persons with disabilities.
CSM also agreed to construct a pedestrian walkway linking the two phases unless,
following a safety study, it is determined that a crosswalk is not warranted because of
adverse safety considerations.
In addition, CSM is required to replat the land for both phases of the development. A
preliminary plat is in the process of being developed and will be submitted to City staff
for review this spring.
Although it is not a requirement, staff will ask CSM to consider constructing walls to
partially screen the loading docks and trash dumpsters in Phase II.
The City had to reinstall some pavement in 77th Street where CSM had dug up the
street and mistakenly patched the street with blacktop. CSM will be billed for the cost of
this replacement. Continuation of the sidewalk along 77th Street to Lyndale Avenue
and installation of the streetlights at Lyndale Avenue and 77th Street are related to
construction of the right turn lane, and the City will complete these items this spring.
In March, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority released a portion of the letter of
credit submitted by CSM. The remainder of the letter, of credit will be released once the
identified items have been completed.
Recommended Motion:
No formal action is being recommended at this time.
Basis of Recommendation:
The City Council requested an update on incomplete items in Phase II of the Shops at
Lyndale.
Alternative Recommendation:
None.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is scheduled for discussion at the City Council Study Session on April 7,
1997.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Study Session Letter No. 15
Agenda April 7, 1997
Issue Statement:
Discussion of Colfax Avenue entrance to Shops at Lyndale.
Background:
The Council requested a brief description of options to alleviate access problems at the
exit from Shops of Lyndale for people turning left to go west on 77th Street. At certain
times traffic westbound on 77th Street is so heavy that there are no gaps for left turners
trying to exit at the Colfax Avenue driveway.
Council also requested a status report on additional steps planned for traffic
management that may improve access from the Shops at Lyndale.
Remaining work to improve traffic flow at the Colfax entrance to the shopping center
include:
• The signal at the Meridian Crossings entrance on 77th Street may create additional
gaps in eastbound traffic at Colfax.
• The signal at the Meridian Crossings entrance on 77th Street may encourage
additional drivers to use the northwest exit from the Shops at Lyndale parking lot to
travel west on 77th Street.
• The wiring for the detector loops on eastbound 77th Street at Lyndale Avenue still
needs to be installed as part of the right lane project this spring.
Some options to improve access to westbound 77th Street from the Shops at Lyndale
include:
• Signage in the parking lot directing westbound traffic to the exit to Market Drive (the
frontage road) to the signal at 76th Street entrance ramp to 1-35W or to the Emerson
Avenue exit (the future Meridian Crossings exit).
• Installation of a No Turn on Red sign for southbound Lyndale Avenue traffic to go
westbound on 77th Street to create additional gaps.
• Refinement of the signal timing at 77th Street and Lyndale Avenue once all wiring is
installed for the loop detectors using the Integrated Corridor Traffic Management
technology.
• Observation of turning movements and overall traffic patterns to determine other
methods to create adequate gaps in traffic.
• Redesign of the Colfax entrance to prohibit the left turn egress movement.
• Redesign of the Shops at Lyndale parking lot to encourage westbound traffic to use
other exits.
It is important to remember that the possibility of a traffic signal at the Colfax Avenue
entrance to Shops at Lyndale was analyzed by BRW, Inc. at the City's request. It was
determined that only one signal should be provided between Girard Avenue and
Lyndale Avenue along 77th Street. The analysis showed that a signal at the entrance
to Meridian Crossings produced less delay for maintaining signal progression for east-
west traffic on 77th Street than a signal at Colfax Avenue. The report also showed
traffic signals at both the entrance to Meridian Crossings and the Colfax Avenue
entrance to Shops at Lyndale caused undue delay to 77th Street traffic.
A signal warrant will likely not be met for Meridian Crossings until the completion of
Phase II. A signal warrant analysis based upon traffic projections was completed
before Shops at Lyndale opened. The low volume of projected peak hour left turns did
not warrant a signal. A traffic count is needed to update the warrant analysis.
Recommended Motion:
There is no motion. The information is provided to Council for discussion purposes
only.
Basis of Recommendation:
Discussion of this topic is in response to an inquiry made at the March 24, 1997 Council
meeting.
• Alternative Recommendation:
Council may have additional options for City staff or consultants to consider.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is on the agenda of the City Council's April 7, 1997 Study Session.

CITY OF RICHFIELD, MINNESOTA
Study Session Letter No. 14
Agenda April 7, 1997
Issue Statement:
Discussion of parking problems on 7600 block of Knox Avenue and surrounding streets.
Background:
Fountainhead Apartments had repeatedly asked for on-street parking in neighborhood
south of 76th Street (see attached map) for their residents as the number of vehicles
per apartment unit grew over time. The City granted their request years ago. Recently,
the Minnesota Taxi Company has begun operations on Knox Avenue. Their drivers
had been parking on the east side of Knox Avenue overnight, competing with residents
of Fountainhead Apartments for limited on-street parking spaces.
Along 77th Street just west of Knox Avenue, on-street parking combined with high snow
banks spilling into the street made truck deliveries difficult to an alley serving Barrel
Finishing. Temporary "No Parking" signs have been installed but ignored occasionally.
Staff has noticed trucks still having a difficult time trying to back into the alley off of 77th
Street.
The City Zoning Administrator has notified the taxi company to correct its violations of
its conditional use permit. The problems of on-street overnight parking appear to have
been reduced to one taxi being parked occasionally overnight. The manager of
Fountainhead Apartments confirmed this by observing the on-street parking situation
during the week of March 24, 1997.
Any action taken to restrict on-street parking will have an adverse effect on
neighborhood residents, Fountainhead Apartments' tenants and the businesses in the
neighborhood. Also, Knox Avenue is wide enough to handle parking on one side even
with Galyan's open.
Parking on the south side of 78th Street is used by the car dealers for their customers
and employees. Removing on-street parking along 78th Street may be needed if traffic
increases once Galyan's opens. Although City ordinance directs businesses to provide
for adequate off-street parking, the businesses along west 78th Street have not done
so. Residents in the neighborhood north of 77th Street have regularly expressed their
concern that the auto dealers not use the residential area for on-street parking.
Parking on both sides of the 7700 block of Morgan Avenue this winter led to several
complaints that the drive lane was too narrow for two cars to pass. The snow tended to
force cars to park a distance from the curb making the driving lanes very narrow. The
width of driving lanes should improve as the snow melts. Morgan was recently a one
way street before the temporary traffic diverter was installed last fall.
0 Possible options include:
• Enforce No Parking signs on the south side of West 77th Street west of Knox
Avenue to make it easy for trucks to use an alley serving Barrel Finishing, or simply
wait for the snow to melt to widen 77th Street so trucks have sufficient room to use
the alley.
• Continue to allow on-street parking.
• Enforce conditions in a conditional use permit for the taxi company to continue
operating on its site, including no overnight parking on the street.
• Wait for the opening of the Galyan's store to reassess the parking issue.
Recommended Motion:
There is no motion nor action requested. This item is for discussion purposes only.
However, staff is interested in Council reaction to the listed possible options or to any
other possible option.
Basis of Recommendation:
The problem of on-street parking does not appear to warrant corrective action at this
time.
Alternative Recommendation:
None.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This is for discussion purposes only.

Agenda April 7, 1997

Issue Statement:
Discussion of final report on the 76th Street Downsizing Study.
Background:
Council directed a six-member task force to prepare recommendations on the possibility
of reducing 76th Street east of 1-35W to a two-lane road and exploring possible reuses
of the surplus land. The task force has submitted the attached draft final report for
Council review at the Study Session. The report includes a preferred design and
suggested staging of segments from west to east, but no definite time for the work to
begin.
The report was the subject of an extensive public involvement process including two
open houses and a question and answer brochure that produced a strong and
sustained public response. A record of public comments is contained in the report's
appendix and is summarized:
Negatives Positives
• Don't tear up a street that's in good • The preferred design was considered a
condition reasonably good design
• Opposed to downsizing due to a • Some people favored on-street
concern that traffic volumes will parking, others opposed it
increase, especially during the
reconstruction of 1-494
• Bike route doesn't lead to or from a • Demand for on-street parking centered
major origin or destination on Roosevelt Park, House of Prayer
Church and near major north-south
streets
• The Soo Line trail must be built first • Place utilities underground as part of
before 76th Street becomes a useful project
link
• Parallel residential streets are suitable • Improves neighborhood appearance
for bikes, don't need this project and increases property values
• People don't ride bikes on 76th Street • Makes biking safer especially for
now children
• Route lacks environmental qualities • Will attract young families with children
warranting a pedestrian/bike trail to Richfield
• Rough winter will show other city • Younger people and residents west of
streets need repair before funding this Lyndale Avenue favored the project
proposal more than others did
L`
•
Negatives Positives
• Not a great need or opportunity, save • Route serves Roosevelt Park,
the money instead Washington Park, Lincoln Fields, and
Junior High School
• To improve bikeway network, • Design may produce traffic calming
concentrate on safety improvements to
cross freeways and busy streets.
• Until 76th Street crossing of 1-35W is
made safe for bikers and pedestrian,
this proposal is premature
• Residents are asked to perform
additional maintenance for expanded
boulevard
• Protected parking bays caused
increased maintenance problems for
plowing
• Plan doesn't rectify the problem of
inadequate snow storage on north side
• Concern for conflicts between cars
backing out of driveways and
bikers/walkers
Council will be asked to accept the final report including the recommended design. No
date was suggested for the work to begin; however, the task force recommended
building the project in segments from west to east. Staging could coincide with other
redevelopment opportunities, such as redevelopment of 7600 block of Lyndale Avenue,
the Soo Line Trail, or new housing on the old City maintenance garage site.
Recommended Action:
Refer the 76th Street study to the Planning Commission for recommendation and
request the Planning Commission develop a strategy to make Richfield a bicycle and
pedestrian friendly community.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. With the 77th Street improvements, the City has a unique opportunity to redesign
76th Street east of I-35W. This street is distinctive for the following reasons:
• It formerly served as a minor arterial and is now a collector street.
• The new 77th Street has reduced traffic on 76th Street by nearly 50%.
• It has a bridge crossing over I-3W.
• It is identified as a potential bikeway in the draft 1996 Comprehensive Plan.
0
2. This may be a good time to refer this study to the Planning Commission to develop
priorities for making the City a bicycle and pedestrian friendly community. The
Planning Commission recently completed its work on the Comprehensive Plan and
1-35W is about to be rebuilt. Richfield could benefit by increased attention towards
the needs of bicyclists and pedestrians before setting priorities for investing in
capital improvements. Traffic calming is a related program that could work well in
conjunction with a Citywide study and recent cuts in Richfield schools' transportation
budget may increase the number of students walking to school.
3. Following several meetings of the task force which reviewed many possible design
options, and following Open House opportunities for the public to meet with the task
force members, staff and consultant to discuss the various possibilities for the future
of 76th Street east of 1-35W, the recommendation of the task force is now available.
The task force, staff and consultant are looking for the Council's reaction to the
report, particularly in terms of guidance on bikeway planning.
Alternative Recommendation:
1. The City Council could decide to authorize partial or complete construction of the
76th Street design as recommended by the task force.
2. The City Council could decide to drop plans to reconstruct 76th Street.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This item is on the agenda for the April 7, 1997 City Council Study Session. Members
of the task force and City staff will be available to answer questions the Council may
have about the report and recommendation, and to receive direction from Council on
any further consideration of the opportunity available related to 76th Street east of I-
35W.

Study Session Letter No. 12
Agenda April 7, 1997
Issue Statement:
Review of 1997 Board of Equalization procedures.
Background:
The 1997 Richfield Board of Equalization is scheduled for Monday, May 5, 1997 at 7:00
p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 6700 Portland Avenue. As provided by City
Charter, the Board of Equalization consists of the Mayor, Council Members and two
citizens appointed by the City Manager with the confirmation by City Council. Mr.
Lawrence Emond and Mr. Glenn Erickson were recently appointed to serve on the 1997
Board of Equalization.
The duties and responsibilities of the Board of Equalization are established by State
law. In general, it is the Board's responsibility to hear appeals by'property owners
regarding the estimated market value established by the City Assessor and to
determine if market values should be adjusted. The appeal is to address market values
rather than tax rates or other concerns which property owners may bring up to the
Board.
The Richfield property assessment was conducted through a contract with Hennepin
County which is supervised by the Administrative Services Department. Staff works
closely with Hennepin County Property Appraisers to ensure that the local assessment
complies with the provisions of the law.
In order to prepare for the Board of Equalization meeting scheduled for May 5, 1997 a
Equalization session has been established for April 7, 1997. At that meeting Larry
Miller, the Hennepin County Principal Property Appraiser assigned to Richfield, will
present information pertaining to the 1997 assessment and Board of Equalization
process.
Recommended Motion:
It is recommended that the Council prepare for the Board of Equalization with a
presentation from Larry Miller.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. It is important to review significant property appraisal issues prior to the time of the
meeting.
2. It is important for the Board to Equalization their statutory responsibilities prior to the
meeting.
Alternative Recommendation:
None.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
This matter will be presented at the Study Session on April 7, 1997.

NOTICE OF MEETING
The clerk shall give at least ten days posted notice of the time and place of the meeting of

(US. 274.03)
NOTICE OF CHANGE IN VALUATION OR CLASSIFICATION
Any county assessor or city assessor having the powers of a county assessor, appraising or
classifying taxable real property shall in each year notify those persons whose property is
to be assessed or reclassified that year if the person's address is known to the assessor.
Otherwise, the occupant of the property must be notified. The notice shall be in writing
and be sent by ordinary mail at least ten calendar days before the meeting of the local
board of review or equalization. It shall contain:
1. the market value,
2. the limited market value under section 273.11, subdivision la,
3. the qualifying amount of any improvements under section 273.11, subdivision 16
(Valuation' Exclusion for Certain Improvements),

SECTION: 4110
PAGE: 2
If the assessment roll is not complete the notice shall be sent by ordinary mail at least ten
days prior to the date on which the board of review has adjourned. The assessor shall
attach to the assessment roll a statement that the notices have been mailed. Any assessor
who is not provided sufficient funds from the assessor's governing body to provide such
notices may make application to the Commissioner of Revenue to finance such notices.
The Commissioner of Revenue shall conduct an investigation and if satisfied that the
assessor does not have the necessary funds, issue a certification to the Commissioner of
Finance of the amount necessary to provide such notices. The Commissioner of Finance
shall issue a warrant for this amount and deduct the amount from any state payment to the
county or municipality. The necessary funds to make such payments are hereby
appropriated. Failure to receive the notice shall in no way affect the validity of the
assessment, the resulting tax, the procedures of any board of review or equalization or the
enforcement of delinquent taxes by statutory means. (M.S. 273.121)
LOCAL BOARD OF REVIEW - DUTIES
The town board of each town, the council or other governing body of each city, is the
board of review except in cities whose charters provide for a board of equalization. The
county assessor shall fix a day and time when the board or the board of equalization shall
meet in the assessment districts of the county. On or before February 15 of each year the
assessor shall give written notice of the time to the city or town clerk. Notwithstanding
the provisions of any charter to the contrary, the meetings must be held between April 1
and May 31 each year. The clerk shall give published and posted notice of the meeting at
least ten days before the date of the meeting. The board shall meet at the office of the
clerk to review the assessment and classification of property in the town or city. No
changes in valuation or classification which are intended to correct errors in judgment by
the county assessor may be made by the county assessor after the board of review or the
county board of equalization has adjourned; however, corrections of errors that are merely
clerical in nature or changes that extend homestead treatment to property are permitted
after adjournment until the tax extension date for that assessment year. The changes must
be fully documented and maintained in the assessor's office and must be available for
review by any person. A copy of the changes made during this period must be sent to the
county board no later than December 31 of the assessment year.
The board shall determine whether the taxable property in the town or city has been
properly placed on the list and properly valued by the assessor. If real or personal
property has been omitted, the board shall place it on the list with its market value, and
correct the assessment so that each tract or lot of real property,. and each article, parcel, or
class of personal property, is entered on the, assessment list at its market value. No
assessment of the property of any person may be raised unless the person has been duly
notified of the intent of the board to do so. On application of any person feeling
9
DATE: 06/96
SECTION: 4110
PAGE: 3 .
aggrieved, the board shall review the assessment or classification, or both, and correct it as
appears just.
A local board of review may reduce assessments upon petition of the taxpayer but the
total reductions must not reduce the aggregate assessment made by the county assessor by
more than one percent. If the total reductions would lower the aggregate assessments
made by the county assessor by more than one percent, none of the adjustments may be
made. The assessor shall correct any clerical errors or double assessments discovered by
the board of review without regard to the one percent limitation.
A majority of the members may act at the meeting, and adjourn from day to day until they
finish hearing the cases presented. The assessor shall attend, with the assessment books
and papers, and take part in the proceedings, but must not vote. The county assessor shall
attend the meetings. The board shall list separately, on a form appended to the assessment
book, all omitted property added to the list by the board and all items of property
increased or decreased, with the market value of each item of property, added or changed
by the board, placed opposite the item. The county assessor shall enter all changes made
by the board in the assessment book.
If a person fails to appear in person, by counsel, or by written communication before the
board after being duly notified of the board's intent to raise the assessment of the property,
or if a person feeling aggrieved by an assessment or classification fails to apply for a
review of the assessment or classification, the person may not appear before the county
board of equalization for a review of the assessment or classification. This paragraph does
not apply if an assessment was made after the board meeting, as provided in Section
273. or if the person can establish not having received notice of market value at least
five days before the local board of review meeting.
The board of review or the board of equalization must complete its work and adjourn
within 20 days from the time of convening stated in the notice of the clerk, unless a longer
period is approved by the Commissioner of Revenue. No action taken after that date is
valid. All complaints about an assessment or classification, made after the meeting of the
board must be heard and determined by the county board of equalization. A nonresident
may, at any time, before the meeting of the board of review file written objections to an
assessment or classification with the county assessor. The objections must be presented to
the board of review at its meeting by the county assessor for its consideration.
(M.S. 274.01)
SPECIAL BOARD OF REVIEW
The council or other governing body of any city, including cities whose charters provide
for a board of equalization, may appoint a special board of review to which it may
delegate all of the powers and duties of the board of review or board of equalization. The
•
DATE: 06196
SECTION: 4110
PAGE: 4
special board of review shall serve at the direction and discretion of the appointing body,
subject to the restrictions imposed by law on the appointing body. The appointing body
shall determine the number of members to be appointed thereto, the compensation and
expenses to be paid, and the term of office of each member. At least one member of the
special board of review shall be an appraiser, Realtor or other person familiar with
property valuations in the assessment district. (M.S. 274.01)
LMHTATIONS
A local board of review may reduce assessments upon petition of the taxpayer but the
total adjustments must not reduce the aggregate assessment made by the county assessor
by more than one percent. If the total adjustments would lower the aggregate assessments
made by the county assessor by more than one percent, none of the adjustments may be
made. The assessor shall correct any clerical errors or double assessments discovered by
the board of review without affecting the one percent referred to above. (M.S. 274.01)
SUMMARY
Minnesota Statutes, Section 274.01 provides that the town board of each township and
the governing body of cities shall be the board of review. The board is to review the
assessment and classification of property in their township.
The county assessor sets the dates for boards of review to meet in his county. He must
notify the clerk of the various dates on or before February 15 each year. The meetings are
held between April 1 and May 31.
Duties of Local Boards of Review
1. See that all taxable property in the township is properly assessed, valued and classified.
The board may consider both real and personal property.
2. If any property has been omitted, the-board must correct the assessment by adding it
to the list of assessments along with its market value.
3. The assessments of each description of real property consisting of land and buildings
are reviewed by the board.
4. The assessments of personal property are likewise within the board's jurisdiction.
Personal property is limited to mobile homes, storage sheds, decks or similar
improvements located in a manufactured home park, structures on leased public lands
DATE: 06196
SECTION: 4110
PAGE: 5
and railroad operating rights-of--way and leased buildings located on land owned by the
occupant and used for purposes of a homestead.
5. The authority of the local board extends over the individual assessments of real and
personal property. The board cant increase or decrease by percentage all of the
assessments in the district of a given class of property. Changes in the aggregate
assessments by classes are made by the county board of equalization.
6. Although the local board of review has the authority to increase or reduce individual
assessments, the total of such adjustments must not reduce the aggregate assessment
made by the county assessor by more than one percent of said aggregate assessment.
If the total of such adjustments does lower the aggregate assessment made by the
county assessor by more than one percent, none of the adjustments will be allowed.
This limitation doesn't apply, however, to the correction of clerical errors or to the
removal of duplicate assessments.
7. The local board of review doesn't have the authority in any year to reopen former
assessments on which taxes are due and payable. The board considers only the
assessments that are in process in the current year. Occasionally a taxpayer may
appear with a tax statement and protest the taxes or assessment of the previous year.
The board should explain tactfully that it has not authority to consider such matters.
After taxes have been extended, adjustment can be made only by the process of
application for abatement or by legal action.
8. In reviewing the individual assessments, the board may find instances of
undervaluation. Before the board raises the market value of property, it must notify
the owner. The law doesn't prescribe any particular form of notice except that the
person whose property is to be increased in assessment must be notified of the intent
of the board to make the increase. The local board of review meetings assure a
property owner an opportunity to contest the valuation or classification that has been
placed on his property or to contest or to protest any other matter relating to the
taxability of his property. The board is required to review the matter and make any
corrections that it deems just.
9. When a local board of review convenes, it is necessary that a majority of the members
be in attendance in order that any valid action may be taken. The local assessor is
required by law to be present with his assessment books and papers. He is required
also to take part in the proceedings but has no vote. In addition to the local assessor,
the county assessor or one of his assistants is required to attend. The board should ask
the local assessor and county assessor to present any tables that have been prepared,
making comparisons of the current assessments in the district. The county assessor is
required to have maps and tables relating particularly to land values for the guidance
i,2
DATE: 061%
SECTION: 4110
PAGE: 6
of boards of review. Comparisons should be presented of assessments of types of
property with previous years and with other assessment districts in the same county.
10. It is the primary duty of each board of review to examine the assessment record to
see that all taxable property in the assessment district has been properly placed upon
the list and valued by the assessor. In case any property, either real or personal, has
been omitted, the board has the duty of making the assessment.
11. The complaints and objections of taxpayers who feel aggrieved with any assessments
for the current year should be considered very carefully by the board. Such
assessments must be reviewed in detail and the board has authority to make
corrections it deems to be just. The board may adjourn from day to day until all cases
have been heard.
12. A nonresident may file written objections to his assessment with the county assessor
prior to the meeting of the board of review. Such objections must be presented to the
board for consideration while it is in session.
13. Before adjourning, the board of review should prepare an official list of the changes.
The law requires that the changes be listed on a separate form which is appended to
the assessment book. The assessments of omitted property must be listed in detail
with their market values. All assessments that have been increased or decreased
should be shown as prescribed in the form along with their market values. After the
changes have been completed, the record should be signed and dated by the members
of the board of review. The changes listed in the proceedings should be entered in the
assessment book by the county assessor.
INFORMATION FOR LOCAL BOARDS OF REVIEW
The board of review must complete its work and adjourn within twenty days from the time
of convening specified in the notice of the clerk, unless a longer period is approved by the
Commissioner of Revenue. No action taken subsequent to such date shall be valid.
A request for additional time in order to complete the work of the board of review must
be addressed to the Commissioner of Revenue in writing. The commissioner's approval is
necessary to legalize any procedure subsequeht to the expiration of the twenty day period.
The Commissioner of Revenue will not, however, extend the time for local boards of
review to meet past the time county boards of equalization convene in June.
If a person fails to appear in person, by counsel, or by written communication before the
board after being duly notified by the board's intent to raise the assessment of his property,
or if a person feeling aggrieved by an assessment or classification fails to apply for a
13
DATE: 06/96

PAGE: 7
review of the assessment or classification, he may not appear before the county board of
equalization for a review of his assessment or classification, except when an assessment
was made subsequent to the meeting of the board or that he can establish that he did not
receive notice of his market value at least five days before the local board of review
meeting.
All real property subject to taxation shall be listed and at least one-fourth of the parcels
listed shall be appraised each year with reference to their value on January 2 preceding the
assessment so that each parcel shall be reappraised at maximum intervals of four years.
All real property becoming taxable in any year shall be listed with reference to its value on
January 2 of that year.
LOCAL ASSESSOR - - The duty of the duly appointed local assessor shall be to view and
appraise the value of all property as provided by law, but all the book work shall be done
by the county assessor, or his assistants, and the value of all property subject to
assessment and taxation shall be determined by the county assessor.
COUNTY ASSESSOR - - The county assessor makes all assessments based upon the
appraised values reported to him by the local assessors or his assistants and his own
knowledge of the value of the property assessed. He must personally view and determine
the value of any property which because of its type or character may be difficult for the
local assessor to appraise. The county assessor is to make all changes ordered by the local
boards of review relative to the assessed value of the property of any individual, firm or
corporation after notice has been given
