SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING
Monday - May 4, 1981 - 7:00 P.M.
Members Present: Arve Grimsmo, Fran Fair, Phil White, Dan Blonegen,
Ken Maus.
Members Absent: None
Purpose of this special meeting was to conduct the Annual Board of
Review. Mr. Orland Kreitlow with the Wright County Assessor's
Office explained to the council and citizens present the recent
changes in state laws concerning the elimination of the limited
market values in determining taxes payable in 1981. By using the
market value of each property instead of limited market value,
many citizens, especially those with older homes, may have experi-
enced large increases in property taxes over previous years.
Concerns were expressed by the following individuals in regard to
market value determinations; difference between Homestead and Non -
Homestead Property Tax, etc: Monticello County Club, John Moller,
Richard Carlson, Norbert Kelly, W. Ojakangas, Bud Kline, William
Everett and James Bell.
After reviewing each of the concerns expressed, a motion was made
by Dan Blonigen, seconded by Fran Fair and unanimously carried to
adopt the valuation on City of Monticello Property as presented by
the Wright County Assessor's Office.
Meeting Adjourned.
