FROM: John Sutter, Community Development Director
DATE: November 10, 2021
TO: Anne Norris, City Manager
SUBJECT: 2021-2022 Property Tax Changes - Data Summary and Maps
We have received data from Hennepin County for the 2021-2022 property tax changes based
on preliminary levies adopted by all taxing jurisdictions which will be reflected on the Truth in
Taxation statements now being mailed. The summary data below are based on the total taxes
proposed to be levied on Crystal properties by all jurisdictions, not just the city.
The median is the data point at which half of the parcels are below and half are above.
The 2021-2022 data show the effect of decreasing commercial property values, flattening
apartment values, and surging single-family residential values. The 2021-2022 shift is
reflective of market data for the 12 months ending Sep. 30, 2020.
Summary:
2011-2015 Shift from Residential to Commercial (effect of house price crash)
2015-2019 Shift from Commercial to Residential (effect of house price recovery)
2019-2020 All property types moving in roughly the same direction
2020-2021 Shift from Residential to Apartment & Commercial
2021-2022 Shift from Apartment & (especially) Commercial to Residential

DATE: November 9, 2021
TO: Anne Norris, City Manager (for November 16 Council meeting)
SUBJECT: Consider a resolution levying a special assessment for a fire protection
system at 5600 56th Avenue North
BACKGROUND
In March 2018 the City Council adopted a no-interest financing option for installation of fire
protection systems (sprinklers) in existing buildings. The following is a summary of the
program’s purpose and parameters:
Public Purpose:
To reduce the potential for loss of life for building occupants and first responders
To preserve and enhance the value of real property
To prevent the emergence of blight in older buildings
To improve the utilization of older buildings to create jobs and economic opportunities
To counteract the combination of physical constraints, building age and market forces that
make fire sprinklers infeasible for some properties
Parameters for City Financing:
No interest charges - principal payback only.
Payback occurs through a special assessment against the property. A petition by the
property owner is required.
5 year payback term - 10 payments due with property taxes in May and October.
The city self-finances this program with the EDA fund balance.
This program was previously used in 2019 to provide $100,000 of interest-free financing to
install a fire protection system at Elision Playhouse, 6105 42nd Ave. N. They are two years into
the five year repayment period and they are current on the payments.
SUBJECT PROPERTY - 5600 56TH
The multi-tenant commercial building at 5600 56th Avenue North (Bass Lake Road) suffered a
fire in November 2019. The property owner will use part of the building for their chiropractic
business and will also have spaces for lease to other business tenants.
COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
5600 56th - Special Assessment
for Fire Sprinkler Financing
6.2
FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT FINANCING
The property owner installed a fire protection system (sprinklers) concurrent with the
building restoration work.
Prior to commencing this work, the property owner submitted a petition requesting special
assessment financing for the fire protection system and the City Council approved the
petition on November 17, 2020.
The estimated cost of the fire protection system was $75,150 and the actual cost was
$64,170.
The special assessment financing is for the actual costs or $100,000, whichever is less.
In order to make the $64,170 payment to the property owner, the City Council must first
adopt the attached resolution levying the $64,170 special assessment.
Repayment will occur in ten semiannual installments of $6,417 with the first payment due
on May 15, 2022 and the final payment due on October 15, 2026.
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION
Adoption of the attached resolution levying a special assessment of $64,170 on the property at
5600 56th Avenue North.

WHEREAS, the Agreement is dated November 17, 2020 and was recorded in the office of

DATE: November 16, 2021
SUBJECT: Consider authorizing a contract with the City of Brooklyn Park for
environmental health services in 2022
___________________________________________________________________________________
The city of Brooklyn Park’s Code Enforcement and Public Health Division (“BPEH”) has
provided environmental health inspections and related services on a contract basis to the city
of Crystal since 2006. Over that time there have been significant reductions in the scope of
contracted health services due to the MN Departments of Agriculture and Health and/or
Hennepin County assuming responsibility for inspection and licensing of grocery and
convenience stores, bakeries, pre-packaged food sales, perishable and non-perishable
vending operations, retail food establishments, lodging establishments, public swimming pools,
and tattoo and body piercing establishments.
The proposed 2021 agreement covers the following health services in Crystal City Code:
Chapter 4, Section 425 (Property Maintenance Code) - as needed to investigate unsanitary
conditions
Chapter 6 Public Health - as needed to investigate public health nuisances
Chapter 11, Section 1195 - annual Therapeutic Massage License inspections
As with prior agreements, this would be an hourly contract with a not-to-exceed amount:
The hourly rate of $72 would be unchanged (has been the same since 2019).
The not-to-exceed amount of $2,000 would be unchanged. Actual billings were $396 in
2019 and $468 in 2020.
City Council approval of the attached contract is requested.
