VILLAGE OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DAKOTA COUNTY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
Minutes of the Annual Board of
Review Held Tuesday, June 26, 1973
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, the Village Council,
Village of Mendota Heights held its annual Board of Review
meeting at the Village Hall, 750 South Plaza Drive, Saint Paul,
Minnesota.
The meeting was called to order by Acting Mayor Lockwood at
8:00 o'clock P.M. The following members were present:
Acting Mayor Lockwood, Councilmen Wahl and Losleben. Mayor
Huber and Councilman Gutzmer notified the Council that they
would be unable to attend.
The Dakota County Assessor's office was represented by John
J. O'Toole, Gordon Daggett and Thomas Kirer. The County
Assessor's records were oyiened for review.
Acting Mayor Lockwood, as Chairman of the Board of Review, turned
the meeting over to Assessor John J. O'Toole. Mr. O'Toole gave
a presentation of the various increases that the County was to
adjust for the year of 1973. The County Assessor had increased
the real estate valuations for Mendota Heights by 10 %, but the
1972 State Legislature passed laws whereas there would be an
increase of only 5% for 1973 and 5% for 1974. The County
Assessor had to reassess all properties in Dakota County at
the 5% levy and send out new notices to all residents. If the
5% increase applied in 1973 has not reached the Assessor's
estimate of market value he can add another 5% or fraction
thereof in 1974. Mr. O'Toole recommended that those residents
who had any questions on their valuations present their
applications at the County Court in Hastings, Minnesota.
Councilman Losleben moved the Council to approve the following
abatements as recommended by the County Assessor:
Ulm Shaughnessy
#28922
We found that court order had been filed
and granted on this parcel for the 1970 and 197:
assessments. This court order value (plus
10% across the board increase) should have
carried forward for the 1973 assessment.
Reduce assessed from $2,623 to $946 for 1973
taxes.
