Pay Bills in December after the December 4th Meeting. For: Brevik, Carriere, Kenfield,
Knaack, Bertilrud. Absent: Matzke. Against: none. Motion Passed

The council discussed the Tax Abatement Policy for new home construction. Tax abatement is
based on value of construction costs and is currently not valid for homes with construction
costs over $275,000. Some council members feel the abatement should be based on
assessed value rather than construction costs. No action was taken at this time concerning
the two homeowners looking into a tax abatement and the policy was referred back to the
Finance Committee.

Attorney Sparby explained the Nuisance Ordinance criteria and how it pertains to violators
already turned over to the Sheriff’s Department and how the appeal process works. According
to city ordinance, the appeal process can only happen after the city sends out nuisance letters
and someone wants to appeal their nuisance status. Once nuisance yards are turned over to
the Sheriff’s department, the city appeal process is no longer an option as it belongs to the
county court. The Sheriff’s department must deal with a nuisance yard at this point and
Sheriff Bernstein noted that they do work towards compliance without a fine and court
proceeding, if possible.

The meeting adjourned at 7:24 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
