Also Present: Wright County Assistant Assessor Tammy Anderson and Wright County Appraiser
Corey Czycalla
2.Assessor’s Presentation
Wright County Assistant Assessor Anderson and Appraiser Czycalla provided the following
information and answered questions from Council:
• The purpose of this Local Board of Appeal and Equalization is to review the 2024 assessment for
taxes due and payable in 2025.
• A quorum must be present and at least one of the members must be "Training Certified” under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 274.014.
•Minnesota State law requires the Assessor to value property at 100% of market value; however, the
Statutes allow the Assessor to be within a range of 90 to 105% of market value.
• The sales ratio study period was from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2023. The sales data
from the study period was used to appraise property as of the January 2, 2024 assessment date.
• During the study, Albertville had 97 qualified sales used in the sales ratio study.
•The state time adjusted median sales ratio was 99.38%. After adjusting for market conditions and
equalization for the 2024 assessment, the final ration is 95.72% which is a result of a -2.64%
decrease of total City residential value.
Appraiser Czycalla provided an overview of the 13 calls he received from Wright County residents
with 6 of them being from Albertville residents. He also provided an overview of the review process if
the residents had questions on their property value. He said the calls were way down from recent years.

E. Maintenance And Repair: The city shall maintain and repair, at its expense, any meter that has become unserviceable through ordinary wear and tear and shall replace it if necessary. The consumer or owner shall be responsible for maintenance and repair of isolation valves and piping to and from the meter. Where repair or replacement is made necessary by act or neglect of the owner or occupant of the premises it serves, any city expense caused thereby shall be a charge against and collected from the water consumer, and water service may be discontinued until the cause is corrected and the amount charged is paid.
Section 2. Section 9-2-7 Maintenance and Repair of the Albertville City Code is hereby
amended to read as follows:
9-2-7 Maintenance and Repair
The consumer or owner shall be responsible for maintaining the service pipe from the curb stop
valve box into the building served, including all internal valves and piping. If the consumer or
owner fails to repair any leak in such service pipe within twenty four (24) hours after notice by
the city, the city may turn the water off. The water shall remain off until the leak is repaired and
billing arrangements made with the city. When the discharge of water is great or damage is likely
to result from the leak, the city may turn the water off immediately, upon the giving of notice, if
repair is not commenced immediately.
Section 3. This amendment shall be in full force and effective upon its passage and
publication.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
May 6, 2024
SUBJECT: CONSENT – ADMINSTRATION – REVISIONS TO PERSONNEL POLICY
TO ADD/AMEND RETIRMENT UNDER VACATION AND SICK LEAVE
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and City Council consider
the following:
MOTION TO: Approve the City of Albertville’s Personnel Policy retirement language as

BACKGROUND: City staff has reviewed the language regarding retirement under vacation
leave and sick leave in the personnel policy effective May 1, 2024.
Below is the suggested amended language:
8.1 VACATION LEAVE
(i) Retirement: Permanent Full-time and Permanent Part-time employees leaving the service
of the employer in good standing, because of retirement, shall have the option to use up
to 100% of the balance of accumulated vacation leave to pay for single/family coverage
medical insurance. The value is determined by the balance in the vacation leave bank
times the current rate of pay for the employee at retirement. The retired employee shall
have the option of remaining on the employer’s group insurance plan, with the retiree
assuming full responsibility for the premium payments.
8.2 SICK LEAVE AND EARNED SICK/SAFE TIME
(k) Retirement: Permanent Full-time and Permanent Part-time employees leaving the service
of the employer in good standing, because of retirement, shall have 50% of the balance of
accumulated sick leave and earned sick/safe time pay for single/family coverage medical
insurance. The value is determined by the balance in the sick leave and earned sick/safe
time bank times the current rate of pay for the employee at retirement. The retired
employees shall have the option of remaining on the employer’s group insurance plan,
with the retiree assuming full responsibility for the premium payments. If the retiring
employee chooses not to remain on the employer’s group insurance plan, the employee
may receive a percentage of their sick leave and earned sick/safe time balance as a cash
payout as outlined below.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and City Council have the authority to set the
City’s Employee Personnel Polices.
