Absent: Sheridan Wright (arrived ae 7:50 P.M.).
Others Present; City Manager Wanger, City Assessor Herrmann, Mr. Kirchberg of
the City Assessor's Office, Chief Appraiser Schwartz and Chief AccountanL- Warner
of the Anoka County Assessor's Office.
��
Present also were; Michael Kuzyk, 280 Rice Creek Blvd., Laurn Zeller 5641- 6th
Street N. E., John Harris 5621, 6th St. N.E., Herbert J. Bloom 5611-6th Street

Harold Markell 300 Hugo Street N.E., Sol Gunzburger 6205 Baker Avenue N E.,
Stan W. Carlson 6219 Baker Avenue N.E., and Russ Gillan 261-57th Place N. E.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Herxmann, City Assessor and Mr Schwartz, Chief Appraiser
of Anoka County to describe the pro�ess in valuing homes Mr. Herrmann stated
that the size of the home, garage and extras such as driveways, porches, etc ,
figured in the faluation plus the area in which the structure is located
Mr Schwartz also stated that this Review of Valuation was for homes constructed
between May 1, 1964 and May 1, 1965. Mr. Stan W. Carlson, 6219 Baker Avenue N E
requested information on depreciation of homes. This was not discussed inasmuch
as the Board of Equalization was not taking up questions of this nature at this
time.
Councilman Ldright arrived at 7;50 P M.
Mr. Robert Kretlow, 7885 Broad N. E., and Mr. Robert Hollenbeck, 571-79th Way N.E ,
asked about depreciation on their flood damaged homes. a 3% depreciation had
been given after structural damage had heen allowed, as of May 1, 1965 Mr.
Hollenbeck and Mr. Kretlow felt that this was not enough inasmuch as their
valuations were low on account of the water damage, They also felt that the homes
were not saleable and there was a psychological loss involved. Councilman
Thompson then asked Mx. Schwartz if there was a precedent to go on in valuing
flood damaged homes. Mr. Schwartz explained that the Council has the �urisdiction
at this time for an ad�ustment. Mr Thompson then stated that they should make a
decision on determining a figure higher than the 3% inasmuch as the psychological
loss cannot be evaluated. Mr. Herrmann then explained that although the additional
3% did not seem to be a large decrease, as an appraiser he had already taken into
account the flooding possibility. He, therefore, had not valued there properties
c lose to the river any higher than the properties near East River Road as the
flooding possibility in his value estimate balanced out the amenities of the
influence of value of River property. It was suggested that a moderate
increase across the board be allowed for all homes in the flood plain area.
The motion was made by Councilman Thompson to decrease the full and true value
of the structure by 15% on structural property in the flood plain in place
of the 3% that had been allowed. This decrease would be effective for May 1,
1965 on1y. Motion seconded by Kirkham Motion carried unanimously. (SES-
THC COiTNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF JULY 19, 1965 FOR AMENDMENT).
Mr. Sol GunsUurger, 6209 Baker Avenue Northeast brought out the fact that his
home has no't been depreciated as it should be, It was explained that depreciation
is allowed during the even numbered years when the new evaluation is completed
and that no depreciation is given during the odd numbered years.
Due to the disruption caused by the tornado, personal property records of
business firms in Fridley were not up to date and for that reason an extension
of time �aas requested
The Board of �qualization was recessed until Monday, July 19, 1965 at 7;30 P.M.
at which time only personal property reviews will be held.
As there was no further business, the meeting of the Board of Equalization was
ad�ourned at 9:10 P.M., July 7, 1965.
Respectfully submitted,
Eleanor Thoennes
