COUNCIL ACTION REGARDING 5080 MULCARE DRIVE
A) Review of 5080 Mulcare Drive
Arlene Andrea, Anoka County Assessor, stated that her records show a one-half grade reduction of the
home at 5080 Mulcare, following her inspection of January 10, 2002, which reduced the value by
$6,200. The current assessed value of $211,000 does reflect that change and no additional reduction was
recommended for this property. Andrea stated that she spoke to Mrs. Lamere on the telephone and sent a
letter to Mr. Lamere reflecting her actions.
Nawrocki questioned next year’s assessment value for this property. Andrea stated that taxes payable
value for 2003 would be $211,000.
MOTION
by Wyckoff, second by Szurek, to adopt the 2002 Assessment Rolls as presented. Upon vote:
Motion carried.
All ayes.
Walt Fehst, City Manager, stated that the Assessor included copies of other Habitat home appraisals and
they are in line with the resident who questioned his assessment. Fehst corrected information on triple
indexing for value increases of Habitat homes. The traditional mortgage on a Habitat home is two-thirds of
the value of the home and there is a second mortgage held by Habitat for the real value of the property. If
the owner leaves within six years, they pay for a pro rated share of the second mortgage. After six years
residence, they get the entire value if they sell the home back to Habitat.
ADJOURNMENT
Mayor Peterson adjourned the meeting at 7:08 p.m.
