These are run from the sales certificates received at the time the deeds are registered at the county. The reason for the difference in the Anoka County study and the study we run, ! believe, is that we deduct the personal property out of the sale and the County does not. After preparing our own sales ratlo study of sales in 1972-1973-1974 to find our median at 91% over a 3 year period in the entire city, we determined to update 75% of the residential properties 6%. According to' the new law passed by the legislature, whereby we must view and value 25% of the parcels each year, we chose the area from Central to Stlnson, between 37th and 45th, for a total of about 1700 properties. In addition, there were 395 pieces of new construction throughout the c~ty that were measured, viewed, and valued. We took pictures of properties that were new or changed appearance since the last picture. New commercial and industrial construction including the Marquette Bank of Col. Hts., the Ounkin Donuts Shop, the addition to the Chief Theater, an addition to Kochavers Tabor Bushnell, an addition to Mpls. Electric Steel, and completion of the building at 3801 California by Commers, were valued. The land values were changed somewhat in the industrial area, but the rest of the buildings in that area will be revalued next year as a part of next years 25%. Routine work accomplished by this department is as follows: 1. Updating our files as to the zoning changes that took place with the new zoning ordlnaDce. 2. Prepared searches. 3. Made subdivisions of value as well as special assessment amounts. 4. Prepared assessment rolls. 5. Prepared lists of property owners for traffic hearings. 6. Prepared lists of property owners for hearings on rezoning of properties. 7. Prepared lists of property owners for hearings on variances for the Housing Authority. 8. Prepared and mailed preliminary hearing notices. 9. Prepared and mailed levy notices. 10. Figured amounts for new assessments. 11. Figured interest and current installment on assessments. 12. Prepared and mailed assessment statements. 13. Typed and correlated assessment information on assessment control cards. 14. Added penalty to delinquent assessments and listed the delinquent portion for the county. 15. Changed o~nership on Yaluation sheets and assessment files on about 700 in 1975. 16. Took applications for new homesteads. In September, Cheryl Kennedy resigned and Shelley Hansen moved into the Finance Director's office where she will continue the speclal assessment bookkeeping along with payroll in that of-f ice. Ellen Prince came to work in thls office in September where she will share the office load with Jane Halek, who has been here two years. My assistant, Gerald Hedlund has just completed 2 years of internship, is certified by the State Board of Assessors and is continuing his education in appraising at Anoka-Ramsey evening school. We share in the city slogan "Service is our business" by answering as fully as possible ali inquiries from residents, property owners, realtors, loan companies, and outside appra|sors. Many times during the year each one of us has the opportunity to discuss taxes, special assessments, Sr. Citizens freeze credits, valuations etc. with resident or non-resldent owners. We were very happy to learn that due to our efforts at being over ratio of value to sales the cities state-aid has been increased for 1976. I believe there will be some incentive legislation introduced in the near future to encourage all assessing units in the State of Minnesota to have sales ratlos over Respectfully submitted, Mildred V.
