• Study Session Letter No. 7
Agenda April 4, 1988
Issue Statement:
Discussion relating to whether the sale and/or consumption of
beer should be permitted in certain city parks.
Background:
Certain organizations are expressing interest in an ordinance
which would allow 3.2 beer to be possessed, consumed and sold in
certain City parks.
The possession, consumption, or sale of liquor, beer or non-
intoxicating malt liquor (3.2 beer) is currently prohibited in
any,City park (ordinance 840.11). This ordinance was adopted in
1982. Prior to this ordinance, there was a permit process which
would allow certain organizations to sell 3.2 beer in certain
parks.
Staff has been requested by the 4th of July Committee, VFW,
American Legion and soft ball tournament organizers to bring the
issue of sale and consumption of 3.2 beer back to the City
Council for their consideration.
These requests include:
Sale of 3.2 beer at specific events such as softball
tournaments, 4th of July celebration, etc.
Allow consumption and possession of 3.2 beer.
Establish a permit process for the sale of 3.2 beer.
Recommendation:
The decision to permit beer in parks should be based upon what
the Council perceives to be the community standard. Permitting
beer in parks will have an impact upon city operations. However,
staff indicates the use can be accommodated through appropriate
regulatory procedures and payment of a fee to recover costs.
Other communities do permit beer in parks without apparent
problems.
Some.of the special concerns if beer sales are to be permitted in
parks are the following:

bond to insure cleanup.
Establish permit approval process.
Provide for security officers if deemed necessary,
by Public Safety Director.
Basis of Recommendation:
1. It is difficult to effectively and uniformly control a
prohibition against consumption of beer in the parks.
2. The enforcement of this prohibition is counterproductive
and establishes an adult on the family picnic having
beer as "criminal".
3. The sale of beer in the parks is a community standard
issue.
Alternative Recommendation:
The Council has the following basis:
1. Leave the current ordinance in place, which prohibits
sale, consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages.
2. Permit only the possession and consumption of 3.2 beer
in certain parks and continue prohibition against the
sale of beer.
3. Allow on a permit basis only, the consumption or
possession of beer in parks.
4. Permit consumption, possession and sale of 3.2 beer in
• certain parks without special permit.
Discussion/Decision Mode:
taff is seeking direction on this issue at the scheduled
workshop. No decision is required.

Econoudc Growlth..
`There Are. Beal BeasoQs To Worry' 1
WASHINGTON - In spite of relatively low unemployment and
strengthening consumer spending, rising interest rates will bring
a distinct lull W the nation's economic growth, indicating,the
potential for an end to the expansion, according to analysts for
the National Association of Realtors.
"THERE ARE ILEAL reasons for worry," said Dr. John A.
Tuccillo, NAR's chief econuinist. In the association's September/
October 1987 outlook, Tuccillo listed four troublesome aspects of
late 1887: an expected sluggish growth rate for the gross national
product, which will depend heavily on consumer spending; a
stubbornly negative trail-a balance; worries about increasing
inflation; and the potential for a, protracted auto workers strike,
which•would cut back production.
f . A broad mix of consumer spending, business fixed invest-
ments., net exports and inventory investments have pulled up the
r gross national product (the total value of the nation's gouda and
services) during the first and second quarter of this year. But with
few "hot spots" in the economy, the NAR is predicting a 2.5 percent
growth rate for the second half of 1987.
i . "The overall growth rate of the real (inflation-adjusted) GNP
is just enough,to keep the economy moving forward, but far from
what is needed for a surge in economic expansion," TucciLasaid.
He said the $15 billion trade deficit reported for J une- higher
than most analysts had expected - had thwarted the recent
stabilization off' the value of the dollar against foreign currency.
The dollar's continued decline could thus revive inflation fears
among foreign investors in the U.S. capital markets.
The Iproliferatiun of foreign investors in the domestic capital
market has heavily influenced interest rate movements of dollar-
denominated investments, Tuccillo explained. The dollar's drop
in value against foreign currency is cutting the value of U.S. bonds
and mortgage-backed securities held by foreign investors.
"IN EXCHANGE FOR holding an asset that could decline in
value, foreigniinvesturs are demanding and getting higher real
interesi rates on their investments. These already high real
interest rates pose a serious threat to the housing industry,"
Tuccillo said. for uistauce, mortgage interest rates paid by home
buyers are a&octcd bLthe rates of returadawit . v in
c d
""5pp-Iyr'rinoirt?'age apital-by buying mortgage-ackrd dre-
urities.
He noted.Wat sales of homes, particularly new ones, had just
begun to recover from the mortgage rate jump of last spring. "The
April-May spike was set off by fears that the U.S. trade balance
was deteriorating and that inflation would accelerate as a result.
These fears proved groundless and markets calmed down. But
now, we opyrate in a world where the dollar sneezes and the
mortgage market catches cold," Tuccillo said.
The NAR is predicting an inflation rate of about. 3.9 percent
for the second half of 1987. Tuccillo called the Federal Reserve
Board's recent decision to raise the discount rate it charges banks
and other financial institutions from 5.5 percent to 6 percent an
attempt by Chairman Alan Greenspan to "establish his inflation-
fighter credentials" by letting interest rates rise. Shortly after the
discount rate was changed on Sept. 4, major U.S. banks raised
their prime lending rates from 8.25 percent to 8.75 percent and
the Veterans Administration raised the interest rate charged for
fixed-rate, 30-year loans it guarantees from 10 percent to 10.5 per-
cent.
"We suffered a crippling interest rate spike in April and we
are on the verge of one now," Tuccillo said. "Mortgage interest
rates have been averaging well over 10 percent since late spring,
and no longer show signs of' declining below the 10 percent barrier
in the foreseeable future ... We have changed our forecast to

ACCORDING TO NAR analysts, thepatential for higher
interest rates could require "significant adjustments" to.:

NOTICE OF VALUATION
Any county assessor or city assessor having the powers of a county assessor, valuing
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. The notice shall be in writing
and shall be sent by ordinary mail at least ten days before the meeting of the local
board of review or equalization. It shall contain the amount of the valuation in terms
of market value, the new classification, the assessor's office address, and the dates,
places, and times set for the meetings of the local board of review or equalization
and the county board of equalization. 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 required by this section have been mailed. Any assessor
who is not provided sufficient funds from his 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 he is satisfied that the
assessor does not have the necessary funds, issue his certification to the commissioner
of finance of the amount necessary to provide such notices. The commissioner of
finance shall issue a warrant for such amount and shall deduct such amount from any
state payment to such 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.

LOCAL BOARD OF REVIEW - DUTIES
The town board of each town, the council or other governing body of each city, except
in cities whose charters provide for a board of equalization, shall be a board of review.
The county assessor shall fix a day and time when each of such boards and the board
of equalization of any city whose charter provides for a board of equalization shall
meet in the several assessment districts of the county, and shall on or before AP". FeL I
of each year give written notice thereof to the clerk. Such meetings notwithstanding
the provisions of any charter to the contrary shall be held between April 1 and Jae-30 m? y
in each year, and the clerk shall give published and posted notice of such meeting at
least ten days prior to the date fixed. Such board shall meet at the office of the
clerk to review the assessment and classification of property in such town or district,
and immediately proceed to examine and see that all taxable property in the town or
district has been properly placed upon the list, and duly valued by the assessor. In
ease any property, real or personal shall have been omitted, the board shall place it
upon 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, shall be
entered on the assessment list at its market value; but no assessment of the property
of any person shall be raised until he has been duly notified of the intent of the board
so to do. On application of any person feeling aggrieved, the board shall review the
assessment or classification or both, and correct it as shall appear just. A majority
of the members may act at such meeting, and adjourn from day to day until they
finish the hearing of all cases presented. The assessor shall attend, with his assess-
ment books and papers, and take part in the proceedings, but shall not vote. The
county assessor, or an assistant delegated by him shall attend such 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 such 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 his
property, or if a person feeling aggrieved by an assessment or classification fails to
apply for a 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, as provided in
section 273.01, 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.
The board of review, and the board of equalization of any city, unless a longer period
is approved by the Commissioner of Revenue, shall complete its work and adjourn
within twenty days from the time of convening specified in the notice of the clerk
and no action taken subsequent to such date shall be valid. All complaints in reference
to any assessment or classification made after the meeting of such board, shall be
heard and determined by the county board of equalization. Any nonresident may, at
any time, before the meeting of the board of review file written objections to his
assessment or classification with the county assessor and if any such objections are
filed they shall be presented to the board of review at its meeting by the county
assessor for its considerations. (M.S. 274.01)

LIMITATIONS
A local board of review shall have the power to reduce assessments upon petition of
the taxpayer but the total of such adjustments shall not reduce the aggregate assess-
ment made by the county assessor by more than one percent of said aggregate assess-
ment. If the total of such adjustments would lower the aggregate assessments made
by the county assessor by more than one percent, none of such adjustments shall be
allowed. The assessor shall correct any clerical errors or double assessments dis-
covered by the board of review without affecting the one percent referred to above.

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 cleric of the various dates on or before A-U-}-each year: The meet-
ings are held between April 1 and june-a
DUTIES OF LOCAL BOARDS OF REVIEW
1. See that all taxable property in the township is properly assessed, valued and
classified.
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 now limited to mobile homes, structures on leased public
lands and railroad operating rights-of-way and leased buildings located on land
owned by the occupant and used for purposes of a homestead.
So be sure to note the board may give consideration to both valuation and classification
of real and personal property.
5. The authority of the local board extends over the individual assessments of real
and personal property. The board can't 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 aggre-
gate 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.
SP: 12
DATE: 7/86
SECTION: 4123
PAGE: 2
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 cur-
rent assessments in the district. The county assessor is required to have maps
and tables relating particularly to land values for the guidance 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 assess-
ment.
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.

Revenue, must complete its work and adjourn within twenty days from the time of
convening specified in the notice of the clerk. No action taken subsequent to such

property, or if a person feeling aggrieved by an assessment or classification fails to
apply for a review of the assessment or classification, he may not appear before the
county board of equalization for a review of his assessment1'.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 inter-
vals 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 deter-
mine 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 and hearings held as pro-
vided by law. '
