TO: City Administrator FROM: City Assessor RE: Monthly Assessing Report DATE: March 17, 1983 I have transferred and corrected to my satisfaction 90\ of the improved parcels in the City of Ramsey as to the value for the 1983 assessment. The remaining 10\ will be taken right from the 1982 run. The County set up a cutoff date to fit their time schedule in order to be able to get all the transfers on the computer by the time valuation notices have to go out. The 10\ left to transfer will be done right after the valuation notices go out and the Board of Review is over. The only change in value of any significance will be in the land value if the legislature approves the rental value approach. The agricultural land not in green acres will of course be affected the most. The bare land around the landfill,due to the state's request, has been reduced 50\ of its value as per the 1982 assessment. The land owners received abatements on the taxes for 1982 and the reduced value will stay in effect for the 1983 assessment. I will be out in the field finishing the 1983 viewing and start the 1984 portion as soon as the weather settles. This will be a large area to cover in one year so I will want to get started as soon as I can. I have enclosed a list of the remaining sales that I received in 1982. If the sales don't increase, I probably will only turn them in quarterly. Clayton talked to me about doing inspections for him because of his workload in other areas. I informed him that I could handle most of them at the present time and if they don't increase drastically, I may be able to handle some of them along with my viewing. This concludes my report.
