LOCAL BOARD OF A:PPEAL AND EQUALIZATION
SUMMARY OF DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Most of the responsibilities listed under the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization are
statutory, primarily found in Minnesota Statutes 274.01.
• The first responsibility is attendance. The Local Board of Appeal and Equalization is
an official public meeting similar to a City Council meeting and cannot convene
without a quorum. In addition to the local assessor, the county assessor, or one of
his/her assistants is required to attend.
• At least one member must be present at each meeting of the Local Board of Appeal
and Equalization (beginning in 2006) that has attended an appeals and equalization
course as developed and approved by the Commissioner of Revenue. The
compliance date is December l of the year prior to the current year's meeting.
• The valuation notices shall be in writing and be sent by ordinary mail at least ten
calendar days before the meeting of the board. The va]uation notice wi]] include the
dates, places and times set for the meetings of the Local Board of Appeal and
Equalization as well as the Hennepin County Board of Appeal and Equalization.
• The meetings must be held between April 1 and May 31 each year, including
reconvene meetings. The County Assessor shall fix a day and time when the Local
Board of Appeal and Equalization shall meet. The board must complete its work and
adjourn within 20 days from the time of convening stated in the notice of the clerk,
i.e. calendar days — original night is day one.
• The clerk shall give published and posted notice of the meeting at least ten days
before the date of the meeting.
• Loca1 Boards of Appeal and Equalization must see that all taxable property is
properly valued and classified for the current assessment year only. The board may
consider both real and personal property, and both estimated and taxable value.
Personal property is limited to mobile homes and their storage sheds, decks and other
improvements located in a manufactured home park, structures on leased public lands
and RR operating ROW, and ]eased buildings ]ocated on land owned by the occupant
and used as their homestead.
• 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.
• The board may not increase or decrease by percentage all assessments in a district of
a given class of property. Changes in the aggregate to assessments are by class and
are made by the County Board of Equalization.
• The board may not make an individual market value adjustment or classification
change that would benefit the property in cases where the owner or other person
having control over the property will not permit the assessor to inspect the property
and the interior of any buildings or structures.
• Although the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization has the authority to increase or
decrease individual assessments, the total of such adjustment must not reduce the
aggregate assessment by more than one percent. If the tota] reductions would lower
the aggregate assessment 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 without regard to the one percent limitation.
• The local board does not have the authority to reopen former assessments on which
taxes are due and payable.
• If an assessment was made after the local board meeting or if a taxpayer can establish
not having received the notice of market value at least five days before the meeting,
they can appeal to the County Board of Appea] and Equalization.
• The board may find instances oiundervalued properties. The board must notify the
owner of the property that the value is going to be raised. The property owner must
have the opportunity to appear before the board if they so wish.
• The local boards do not have the authority to address exemption issues. Only the
county assessor (and the tax court) has the authority to exempt property. They also
have no jurisdiction over special programs for which an application process is
required (Veterans Market Value Homestead Exclusion, Green Acres, etc.).
• A taxpayer may appear in person, by counci], or written communication to present his
or her objection to the board. The focus of the appeal must center on the factors
influencing the estimated market value or classification placed on the property.
• All changes will be entered into the assessment record by the county assessor's ofiice.
• Before adjourning, the ]oca] board should prepare an officia] list of the changes. The
law requires that the changes be listed on a separate form. All assessments that have
been increased or decreased should be shown as prescribed on the form along with
their market values. The record must be signed and dated by the members of the
Local Board of Appeal and Equalization.
• The Hennepin County Board of Appeal and Equalization begins meeting on:
June 16, 2014
• All appointments must be scheduled no later than Wednesday, May 2l, 2014, by
calling the Hennepin County Taxpayer Services Office at:

TO: Mayor and Council Members
Anne Norris, City Manager
FROM: Charles Hansen, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Amending Appendix IV of the Crystal City
Code relating to the 2014 Fee Schedule — Main Section
Discussion:
The City Council reviewed and adopted the 2014 fee schedule on September 17, 2013.
Several fees have come to our attention that need to be amended or added to the 2014
fee schedule.
The amendments and additions are as follows:
• The fee for notary services has been listed in the schedule as $2.00. It came to
our attention that the state statute requires the notary fee to be $1.00.
• It was decided as part of the 2014 budget to set pawn shop transaction fees at
$3.00 per electronic transaction and $3.50 per manual transaction. It was
necessary to give the pawn shops 30 days notification that the fees are
changing. That notification went out in February and so the fee change can take
effect on April 1 St
• A new building permit fee is needed for garage door replacements. This will be a
flat fee for each door replaced of $55.00, including the state surcharge.
Recommended City Council Actions:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the resolution amending Appendix IV of
the Crystal City Code relating to the 2014 Fee Schedule.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITYof proposed Hearinq on Allev Proiect
CRYSTAL
FROM: Tom Mathisen, Public Works Director & City Engineer
TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for March 18 City Council Meeting)
DATE: March 13, 2014
RE: Accept Feasibility Report and Order Public Hearing for 2014 Alley
Construction, Project #2014-07
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The feasibility report for the 2014 Alley Reconstruction Project has been completed.
The location map is attached. This year's project includes the alleys located between
and parallel to Xenia and Welcome Avenues, and bounded by 43`d and 44th Avenues,
between and parallel to Welcome and Vera Cruz Avenues, and bounded by 44th and
46t" Avenues and between and parallel to Zane and Xenia Avenues, and bounded 46tn
and 47t" Avenues, all in the Welcome Park Neighborhood
It is proposed to construct twelve foot wide concrete alleys in the same fashion as was
done in the previous seven 2007 - 2013 projects.
DISCUSSION
A neighborhood meeting was held Thursday, February 27 at City Hall. Sixty-eight
notices were mailed to the affected properties. Nine parcels were represented at the
meeting. The questions and comments of the residents were all positive and
constructive. No one voiced opposition to the project.
If the Council adopts the attached resolution accepting the feasibility study and ordering
the public improvement hearing, the hearing to order the project would be held at the
May, 6 Council meeting.
The total estimated cost of the project is $204,000. The intent is to use Chapter 429 of
the State Statutes to special assess a portion of the project cost to the benefiting
property owners. As done with the previous projects, the cost would be paid by a 60%
assessment to the benefitting property owners and a 40% contribution from the Storm
Drain Utility Fund.
� 1 � 1 1
.
.\... ....! \ .•.. _ . .!. ■ .....
Unlike the street projects, the public hearing on the assessments wili be conducted this
fall once the project is complete. The main reason for this is the construction cost is
very small so it will not be necessary to bond to cover the project costs. With the
proposed schedule, there will still be time to have the special assessment public
hearing in order to get the assessments on the 2015 tax rolls.
DRIVEWAY and SANITARY SEWER SERVICE REPAIR
As with the previous alley and street projects, the property owner will be able to
participate in a driveway reconstruction and or sanitary sewer service repair program,
provided that the sewer connection to the main is located under the alley being
constructed. The additional costs can be special assessed along with the alley cost.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The project cost will be paid by a 60% special assessment to the benefiting property
owners and a 40% contribution from the Storm Drain Utility Fund. The estimated unit
assessment is $1,800 per single/duplex residence to be assessed over a ten year
period. There is no impact on the General Fund.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting the
feasibility study and ordering the public improvement hearing for the 2014 Alley
Construction Project #2014-07.

RESOLUTION NO. 2014 —
RECEIVE 2014 ALLEY CONSTRUCTION FEASIBILITY REPORT AND
ORDER HEARING ON IMPROVEMENT PROJECT #2014-07
WHEREAS, a feasibility report dated March 3, 2014 has been prepared by the
Engineering Department with reference to the improvements of the rights of way for the
the a]leys located between and parallel to Xenia and Welcome Avenues, and bounded by
43rd and 44th Avenues, between and parallel to Welcome and Vera Cruz Avenues, and
bounded by 44�h and 46th Avenues and between and parallel to Zane and Xenia Avenues,
and bounded 46th and 47t1i Avenues, and this report was received by the Council on
today's date, March l 8, 2014.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Crystal City Council:
1) The Counci] will consider the improvements for such alleys in accordance
with the report and the assessment of abutting property for all or a portion of
the cost of improvements pursuant to 1VLinnesota Statutes Chapter 429 at an
estimated total cost of the improvement of $204,000.
2) A public hearing shall be held on such proposed improvements on the 6th day
of May, 2014 in the Council Chambers of City Hall at 7:00 p.m., or as soon
thereafter as the matter may be heard, and the clerk shall give mailed and

FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR
2014 ALLEY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
PROJECT 2014-07
MARCH 3, 2014
The alleys located between and parallel to Xenia and Welcome Avenues, and bounded by 43`a
and 44t" Avenues, between and parallel to Welcome and Vera Cruz Avenues, and bounded by
44`h and 46th Avenues and between and parallel to Zane and Xenia Avenues, and bounded 46`n
and 47t" Avenues, all in the Welcome Park Neighborhood, currently have sand and gravel or
are of deteriorating bituminous surfacing. This project will be the eighth since the City's alley
reconstruction program was adopted in 2006. Previous alley projects reconstructed and
upgraded four sand and gravel alleys and four deteriorated bituminous alleys in the Welcome
Park Neighborhood (Phase 10), three deteriorated bituminous alleys in the Forest North
Neighborhood (Phase 12), and seven deteriorated bituminous alleys in the Lee Park
Neighborhood (Phase 5) to concrete surfacing.
The existing bituminous surfaces that were placed in the ear1y1970's have deteriorated to a
point beyond their useful life. This is due to age, soil conditions, poor drainage, and heavy
loading caused by garbage trucks and other large vehicles. The uneven surfaces cause
birdbaths to form that freeze, creating icy conditions in the winter. The alley parallel to and
between Zane and Xenia Avenues, and bounded 46t" and 47t" has never been hard surfaced.
The alleys are a continual maintenance problem requiring regular attention from the Street
Maintenance Department. The local drainage is fair to poor, and abutting property owners
have little incentive to update and pave their driveways.
In order to provide a durable year round surface, in 2006 the City established an Alley
Reconstruction Program. The program anticipates rebuilding all the alleys in the City over a
ten year period. The proposed "V" concrete pavement section will provide a long and
maintenance free life and acts as a storm water drainage conduit to the adjoining street
intersections or to new or existing storm sewer. The adopted policy is to special assess 60%
of the project cost, with the remaining 40% to be paid by the Storm Drain Utility Fund. The
proposed project is consistent with the adopted policy and program. The project area is shown
on the attached map. The estimated cost is $ 204,000.00
Since 1995, the City of Crystal has determined benefit to single family lots for local street
reconstruction on a unit basis instead of by the front foot of each abutting property. The
established policy for alley construction uses the same per lot (unit) basis for the 68 benefiting
residential properties. There are no commercial properties affected by this work. In addition,
using the same street reconstruction model, all abutting parcels will be assessed without
consideration as to where the driveway access is from, be it the street or the alley.
All properties are considered to have benefit from the improved alley, even if their driveway
access is from the local street.
By assessing only 60% of the total cost on a per lot basis, the study cost and benefit analysis
shows an estimated assessment cost of $1800 for each of the 68 residential parcels. Based on
this cost, it is determined that the project is both feasible and provides appropriate benefit to
the assessed properties. Assessments for alley construction are levied over a ten year term.
� 1 � 1 1
.
.\... ....! \ .•.. _ . .!. ■ .....
No change in the policy is recommended for 2014. The assessment for each unit is calculated
by dividing the total project cost (less commercial property assessments) by the number of
units. Using the above-noted assessment approach and the proposed concrete construction
detail, the project cost breakdown is on the following page.

c`TY�` 2014 Waste Water System Sanitary Forcemain
CRYSTAL
CIPP Lininq Proiect
FROM: Tom Mathisen, Public Works Director & City Engineer
TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for March 18 Council Meeting)
DATE: March 13, 2014
RE: Approve Plans and Specifications, Order Ad for Bids — Waste Water
System Sanitary Forcemain CIPP Lining Project #2013-08
As part of the ongoing rehabilitation of the City's sanitary sewer infrastructure,
there is $650,000 budgeted in the 2014 CIP for this work. The project is located in
the Becker Park Neighborhood, Phase 4 Street Reconstruction Project area. The
16" cast iron pipe (CIP) sanitary forcemain to be lined runs from the south lift
station located at Becker Park on 32"d Avenue up Zane Avenue to 36th Avenue
where it discharges into the gravity system at Adair Avenue. This area of sanitary
sewer is circa 1955 (see attached location map).
This 16" pipe ruptured in 2002. Fortunately the spill was readily contained and
bypass pumping was set up and repairs made before any major sewage backups
occurred. The Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) process to be used for this project will
be similar to that used in the 2013 - Winnetka Hills Neighborhood watermain
lining project. The difference being the need to bypass pump the sewage flow
around the section of pipe being worked on. It is a very cost effective and an
efficient way to rehabilitate old sewer lines without the expense and disruptions
to the neighborhood of open trenching.
The plans and specifications have been prepared by the Engineering Department,
and it is recommended that the Council adopt the attached resolution, approving
them and ordering the advertisement for bids. The estimated cost of the work is
$645,000. Work is scheduled to be completed by December, 2014.

EDA STAFF REPORT
PUBLIC HEARING
5335 Corvallis — Sale of Lot to Novak-Fleck
FROM: John Sutter, City Planner/Assistant Community Development Director ���.r.-�
DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Director
DATE:
TO:
March 12, 2014
Anne Norris, Executive Director (for March 18, 2014 EDA meeting)
SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING: Consider a resolution authorizing the sale of lot at 5335
Corvallis Avenue North to Novak-Fleck for construction of a new house
On March 4 the EDA tentatively accepted a proposal from Novak-Fleck to purchase the lot at
5335 Corvallis Avenue North for $50,000. Novak-Fleck has a Minnesota Residential Building
Contractor license with no enforcement actions.
The house would be a split entry with an attached three car garage. It would have 1,401 sq. ft.
on the upper level, with an open living-dining-kitchen area, three bedrooms and two
bathrooms. It would also have 1,288 unfinished sq. ft. on the lower level, which could be
finished in the future with two bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry room and very large family
room. The size and floor plan would be very similar to the house built at 3548 Welcome, but
garage-left instead of 3548's garage-right plan, and with a three-car garage instead of 3548's
two-car.
The proposal meets city code including zoning, and also is in conformance with the EDA's lot
sale guidelines. Lot sale closing and construction start are anticipated by the end of March,
with house completion in summer 2014. The builder has a buyer for the house.
The proposed resolution, 2012 aerial photo, site sketch and house plan are attached.
REQUESTED EDA ACTION: After holding the public hearing and receiving any testimony,
consider adopting the attached resolution authorizing the property sale.

EDA STAFF REPORT
��Y'°f Resolution approving Third Amendment to Contract for
CRYSTAL
Private Redevelopment for The Cavana�h Senior Apartments
FROM: Patrick A. Peters, EDA Deputy Executive Director
TO: Anne Norris, Executive Director (for March 18, 2014, EDA Meeting)
DATE: March 10, 2014
RE: Consider a resolution approving Third Amendment to Contract for Private
Redevelopment with Crystal Leased Housing Associates I, Limited
Partnership [a Dominium Entity]
BACKGROUND
■ 12/18/12 — EDA approved a resolution authorizing execution of a Contract for Private
Redevelopment (CPR) and sale of Lot 1, Block 1, Cavanagh Park Addition to Crystal Leased
Housing Associates I, Limited Partnership [a Dominium Entity]. That agreement provided for
closing by 9/30/13, commencement of construction by 11/30/13, and completion by 2/28/15.
■ 10/1/13 — EDA approved a resolution approving the First Amendment to the CPR to redefine
the project as a 4-story building, modify the zoning to R-3 Planned Development, and revise
the closing date on the property sale to 12/31/13.
■ 11/19/13 — EDA approved a Second Amendment to the CPR acknowledging changes to the
schedules for closing and construction due to Dominium's bond financing difficulties. The
Amendment contemplated closing on the sale of the property to Dominium by 3/31/14,
commencement of construction by 5/31/14, and completion of construction by 8/31/15.
DISCUSSION
In a letter dated 2/27/14, Dominium requested extensions to the project timeline so they could
rebid the construction. The extensions requested are: closing on the sale by 6/30/14,
commencement of construction by 7/31/14, and completion of construction by 10/31/15.
The EDA discussed this request at its 3/14 work session. It was the consensus of the
Commissioners that a Third Amendment be drafted to accommodate the requested extension to
the performance deadlines but that a 10%, nonrefundable, earnest money deposit ($109,431) be
required as a performance guarantee.
Subsequent to that meeting, the EDA's attorney prepared a draft of a Third Amendment for
review by Dominium representatives. Dominium took issue with the EDA's proposed 10%,
nonrefundable, earnest money provision and instead stated their preference for a 3% deposit
($27,829.42). They also asked that 50% of the deposit be refundable if the contract is terminated
prior to May l, 2014.
EDA staff, attorney and financial advisor: a) echo the EDA's endorsement of the extended
timeline requested by Dominium; and b) support the EDA's requirement for an earnest money
deposit in the amount of $109,431 (10% of the agreed to purchase price). However, we also think
it is reasonable to allow for a refund of 50% of the earnest money deposit if the contract is
terminated prior to May 1. The net result is that half of the earnest money deposit ($54,715) is non-
refundable, and that portion of the deposit will be applied to the purchase price at closing. These are
the provisions that have been incorporated into the Third Amendment for your consideration on
March 18.
The balance of the provisions of the original CPR remain as originally approved except as
modified by the First and Second Amendments.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff requests EDA consideration of a Resolution approving the Third Amendment to the
Contract for Private Redevelopment with Crystal Leased Housing Associates I, Limited
Partnership.

RE: The Cavanagll Redevelo��nei2t Land
Request Fo�� Cxtensions
Dear Mr. Peiecs
I�ebruary 27, 2014
1 a.m writing today to formally request some extensions with respect to dates outlined in the cui�rent
Contract for Private itedeveiopment bet��een the Ecoilomic Development Authority of the City of
Crystal (EDA} and Ccystal Leased Housii�g Associates I, Limited Partnersk�ip.
We recently had an unailticipated update fi�om tlle selected general contractor that t{ae coiistruction
costs wotild be in excess of $1,500,000 higher than the original bid number pl•ovided for our
underwriting purposes. This news came with rlo adva�7ced �varnil�g and it comes as a sur}�risu to us
as this contractac is currently under construction on the sister propeirty to the Cavanagh Apartments
tocated in the City of �t. Anthony, at a signiCicantly (ower cost. At this time we have the project
plans out to bid witl3 another contractor that we feel will be able to get these construction costs more
in line with what is required to close. Dominium has more than $500,000 investecl into the pianned
ctevelopment and bond costs associated with The Cavanagh at this point in time. i�a addition, ���e
have term sheets irom the equity and ctebt providecs for this project.
With this unexpected turn of events, we respec;tf'ully request the following revisior�s to the Contiact
for Private Redevelopment:
Event Current Date Rec uested Date
Closing Date March 3l, 2014 June 30, 2014
Construction Cominencement May 31, 2014 July 31, 2014
I�9inim�nn Improvetnents August 3l, 20:15 October 31, 2015
We do �lot expect to need all the requested time however; given tlie circumstances we are
respectfully requesting enough time to accommodate the required negotiations with a nev�� general
cantractoc. Dorninium wou(d be available to discuss this request in person witl� tl-�e Board oP
Commissioners oPthe CDA anci City Siaff if you would lil<e.
