QuestionJames Miner, property owner (parcel 66.240.0170)from the minutes
James Miner 66.240.0170 Mr. Miner attended the meeting and stated that he had removed a porch from his house and wanted to know if that had added value to his property.

Miner attended the Board of Appeals and Equalization to ask about the porch he removed.

At the meetingAugustine said the porch did add value, a County employee verified its removal, and she recommended reducing the value by $1,100.

Answered from our records

Yes, and the removal was worth $1,100. Assessor Augustine confirmed the porch had added value, a county employee went to the property and verified the porch was gone, and she recommended a $1,100 reduction. The council carried it through, reducing Miner's value from $207,900 to $206,800, a difference of exactly $1,100, on a motion by Rechtzigel seconded by Henke, carried 3-0-0.

Requested Action: - Motion approving the DeCook Drainage proposal for the North Street Drainage Improvements, including the base and alternate work.

Eight proposals were received May 4, 2022 for storm sewer replacement/extension and washout repair north of North Street.

What happened next

The award was made on a motion by Bailey seconded by Helgeson, carried 4-0-0, for the base and alternate work from DeCook Drainage at $46,018.47. DeCook was the low proposal of eight received, ahead of Winona Mechanical at $51,308.37, Griffin at $67,453.60, Fitzgerald at $68,808.15 and Halo at $81,694.08.

PendingKenyon EDA (recommendation made April 26, 2022)from the minutes
At the April 26, 2022 meeting the EDA recommended the City contracting 8 hours a week with a CEDA staff person.

CEDA part-time community development staffing for the business park and downtown; Chris Giesen, CEDA VP, to attend and discuss.

What happened next

The council approved contracting with CEDA on a motion by Rechtzigel seconded by Bailey, after Senior Vice President Chris Giesen put the annual cost of a staff person one day a week at $27,700. At eight hours a week that works out to about $66.59 an hour. The arrangement persisted and grew into a standing line, with CEDA identified in 2026 budget discussions as the main occupant of the outside services category that the council asked staff to break down.

RequestPublic Works Director Wayne Ehrichfrom the minutes
Wayne Ehrich- Public Works Director SUGGESTED ACTION: Public Works Director Ehrich is requesting that $3000 be transferred from the Special Donation to the Public Works Capital Fund.

Fund transfer requiring Council approval for pool maintenance purposes.

What happened next

The transfer was approved on a motion by Helgeson seconded by Rechtzigel, carried 4-0-0, moving $3,000 from the swimming pool special donations fund to the public works capital fund. The balance of the special donations fund at the time is not in our holdings.

Pendingminutes (Legal agenda item, Holli Gudknecht)from the minutes
Further information is contained in a League of MN Cities form in the packet. In the past the City has not waived the liability limits.

State statute limits tort liability to $500,000 per claimant and $1,500,000 per occurrence; cities may purchase up to $2,000,000 in additional coverage.

What happened next

The council declined to waive the limits, as it has every year on record. The motion in 2022 was by Henke seconded by Rechtzigel not to waive, carried 4-0-0, followed by Sjolander and Helgeson in June 2023 carried 4-0-0, Henke and Helgeson in May 2024 carried 3-0-0 and Helgeson and Kirchmann in May 2025 carried 4-0-0, the last two framed explicitly as following past city precedent. The statutory limits are $500,000 per claimant and $1,500,000 per occurrence.

The amount of additional coverage available is stated inconsistently in the city's own minutes, as up to $3,000,000 annually in 2022 and 2023 and up to $2,000,000 annually in 2024 and 2025.

We recommend the city award the full project to the lowest DeCook Drainage. If awarded, DeCook plans to complete the project in June or July of this year.

Schedule for the storm sewer and washout repair work.

What happened next

June or July did not hold. By June 14 2022 the contractor had ordered materials and was waiting on delivery, and the city expected the project to start no sooner than late July. No signed contract with start and completion dates is in our holdings.

The forecast that DeCook would complete the work in June or July was already gone by mid June, when the city expected the project would not even start before late July.

Chris Giesen will attend the meeting to discuss the program further, A 2020 program summary and contract pricing are included in the meeting packet.

Consideration of contracting part-time economic development staffing.

What happened next

Giesen attended and presented the staffing program, putting the annual cost of a staff person one day a week at $27,700, and said a person should be available by July 1. The council approved contracting with CEDA on a motion by Rechtzigel seconded by Bailey. The minutes carry an obvious typographical error, printing the availability date as July 1 2020 in a 2022 meeting.

5.10.22 Council Minutes · taken up again 2022-05-10

RequestDoug and Mary Klatt, property owners (via staff summary by Holli Gudknecht)from the minutes
The vacation will require a Council public hearing prior to any action taken by the Council. If the Council wants to proceed with the process a hearing would need to be scheduled.

Alley vacation request where utilities cross the right of way and staff sees no future development potential due to grade and flood plain issues.

Partly answered

The request came back before the council under Legal at the May 2022 meeting with Attorney Riggs speaking to it, but no public hearing date, no published notice and no vacation resolution appear anywhere in our holdings. If vacated, the area would split evenly between the abutting property owners. The scheduled hearing notice or a vacation resolution would settle whether the alley was ever vacated.

6.14.22 Council Packet and Agenda and 5.10.22 Council Packet and Agenda

Action itemCounty Assessor Lavon Augustinefrom the minutes
Augustine recommended a $3,200 decrease in valuation and the option for Mr. Ehrich to have them do a walkthrough of his home.

Ehrich appealed a 28% increase in his valuation; the County recommended a $3,200 reduction plus an optional interior review.

At the meetingCouncil approved reducing the value from $315,300 to $312,100; the walkthrough remained an option.

Partly answered

No record of an interior walkthrough at parcel 66.140.0100 is in our holdings, so whether Ehrich took the option is unknown. What the council did settle was the value, reducing it from $315,300 to $312,100 on a motion by Rechtzigel seconded by Helgeson, carried 3-0-0, exactly the $3,200 the assessor recommended. A county property record card showing a later interior review would settle it.

RequestKenyon Color Guardfrom the minutes
Parade information from the Kenyon Color Guard: "We are planning a parade through town starting at 10:30 AM. We will be forming up at the K-W High School.

City Code requires Council approval of parade routes.

Partly answered

No motion approving the 2022 Memorial Day parade route appears in our holdings, only the Color Guard's request for a 10:30 am start on May 30 2022 forming at the Kenyon-Wanamingo High School, and the note that council approval of the route is required by city code. The agenda item title itself is stale, reading approve Memorial Day parade for May 31 2021. The request recurred in the same form in May 2023, so the practice continued.

Unsourced claimCounty Assessor Lavon Augustinefrom the minutes
She updated the Council members present on sales activity for the period 10/1/2020 through 9/30/2021. There were 56 home sales during that period.

Sales activity presented to explain 2022 assessments payable 2023.

Partly answered

The Goodhue County sales study for that period is not in our holdings, so the 56 home sales cannot be verified directly. For scale, our own sales record shows 41 Kenyon sales in the most recent twelve months and 174 arm's-length sales recorded with the state between March 1 2024 and September 13 2026 at a median of $255,000, so 56 in the 2020 to 2021 study window sits above the current pace. The county sales study report would settle it.

Unsourced claimCounty Assessor Lavon Augustinefrom the minutes
She updated the Council members present on sales activity for the period 10/1/2020 through 9/30/2021. There were 56 home sales during that period. The average valuation increase in the City was 18.46%.

Presented to the Board of Appeals and Equalization on 2022 assessments payable 2023.

Partly answered

The county's citywide assessment summary is not in our holdings, so the 18.46 percent average increase cannot be checked against a source document. What the city's own audit benchmark shows is where that revaluation left Kenyon: its tax rate ran 84.8 percent in 2021 and 86.5 percent in 2022 against 73.4 percent for cities in Goodhue County and 57.6 percent for Class 4 cities, while taxes per capita ran $563 and $565 against $836 and $630 for the same groups. The rate has since climbed further, to a certified 84.6822 percent of net tax capacity for pay 2026 from 79.3028 percent in 2025.

Unsourced claimWayne Ehrich, property owner (parcel 66.140.0100)from the minutes
Ehrich attended the meeting to request an appeal of his proposed property valuation. He stated that his property value increased 28% for 2023.

Basis for his valuation appeal.

At the meetingAugustine explained the increases are based on selling prices of homes sold in the neighborhood and recommended a $3,200 decrease.

Partly answered

The prior-year value for parcel 66.140.0100 is not in our holdings, so the 28 percent figure cannot be checked. Working from the proposed $315,300, a 28 percent rise implies a prior value near $246,300, and the reduction granted was $3,200, or about 1 percent of the proposed value, leaving nearly all of the increase intact. Augustine attributed the rise to selling prices of homes sold in the neighborhood.

5.10.22 Council Packet and Agenda, Board of Appeals minutes

To look upfrom the minutes
He stated it was a vacant lot. Assessor Augustine recommended reducing the property value from $36,000 to 23,000.

Board of Appeals action on parcel 66.380.0120, a vacant lot.

Partly answered

The county property record for parcel 66.380.0120 is not in our holdings, so the starting value cannot be fixed and the $500 gap between the two figures stands unresolved. Both entries agree on the endpoint of $23,000, and the motion by Rechtzigel seconded by Henke that carried 3-0-0 used $36,500. The reduction is therefore either $13,000 or $13,500.

The assessor's recommendation and the council's motion state different starting values for the same parcel in the same minutes, $36,000 and $36,500.

5.10.22 Council Packet and Agenda, Board of Appeals minutes

Unsourced claimJoe Farrell, property owner (parcel 66.260.0070), by phonefrom the minutes
He stated that he bought the property in February 2022. There had been a major water leak in the upstairs two years ago and the house needed to be gutted.

Basis for a valuation appeal that produced a recommended reduction from $238,000 to $141,400.

At the meetingCouncil approved reducing the value from $238,000 to $141,400.

Partly answered

No February 2022 deed or sale record and no county inspection notes on the water damage are in our holdings, so Farrell's account is uncorroborated. The reduction granted was the largest of the four appeals by a wide margin, cutting the value from $238,000 to $141,400, a drop of $96,600 or 40.6 percent, approved on a motion by Rechtzigel seconded by Henke, carried 3-0-0. The recorded deed and the assessor's field notes would settle it.

5.10.22 Council Packet and Agenda, Board of Appeals minutes

Unsourced claimminutes (Bolton & Menk project memo)from the minutes
The low proposal cost (base + alternate) falls within the City's 2022 budget for drainage improvements. We recommend the city award the full project to the lowest DeCook Drainage. If awarded, DeCook plans to complete the project in June or July of this year. Requested Action: - Motion approving the DeCook Drainage proposal for the North Street Drainage Improvements, including the base and alternate work. H:\KENYON_CI_MN\_General\Council Meetings\2022\5 - May 2022\01.1_North Street Drainage Improvements.docx 20

Justification for recommending award to DeCook Drainage at $46,018.47 against an engineer's estimate of $56,976.50.

Partly answered

The 2022 drainage budget line and its remaining balance are not in our holdings, so the within-budget claim cannot be tested. The price comparison can be: DeCook's $46,018.47 for base and alternate came in 19.2 percent below the engineer's estimate of $56,976.50, and it was the lowest of eight proposals. The adopted 2022 budget detail for storm drainage would settle the budget question.

Unsourced claimCity staff (via agenda summary, Holli Gudknecht)from the minutes
There are utilities that cross the right of way area. Due to grade, and flood plain issues staff does not see any way this area would be developed in the future.

Staff assessment supporting the Klatt vacation request.

Partly answered

No flood plain mapping or utility locate map for the alley north of 1st Street is in our holdings, so the staff conclusion that the area can never be developed rests on the summary alone. The packet did carry a GIS area map alongside the Klatt letter, but that document is not in our holdings either. Current FEMA flood mapping and a utility locate would settle whether the grade and flood plain constraints are as staff described.

Two residents attended the meeting in person and the County Assessor's office had two calls with issues related to the proposed valuations: Joe Farrell (Call in) 66.260.0070 Mr.

Summary of appeal activity at the Board of Appeals and Equalization.

Partly answered

The county's appeal contact log is not in our holdings, but the minutes themselves account for four appellants, Ehrich and Miner in person and Klatt and Farrell by phone, which matches the stated two and two. The larger change is who runs the board. In April 2022 the council still sat as the Board of Appeals and Equalization, needing at least three members present including one certified by the state, and by April 2023 the Goodhue County Assessor's office took over the board for at least three years, because no council member holds the required training.

No council motion approving the Lucas chest compression machine is in our holdings, so whether the $19,168.36 purchase was made cannot be confirmed. The Stryker quote detail we do hold covers a LUCAS 3 version 3.1 system with a ProCare annual preventive maintenance inspection line at $1,635.00, including hard shell case, slim back plate, two patient straps, one stabilization strap, two suction cups and a rechargeable battery.

We will also be working with the City attorney to review City ordinances in response to infected trees that are not removed by owners. This will be an ongoing process.

Emerald Ash Borer was identified in the City in April 2022 and private owners are responsible for their own trees.

We hold no data

No draft ordinance, review memo or council action on infected trees left standing by private owners is in our holdings, and the ordinance review described as an ongoing process produces nothing further in our record. The city's stated limit remains that it cannot remove trees on private property and that monitoring, treatment and removal there are the owner's responsibility. A city attorney memo or an amended nuisance or tree ordinance would settle it.

Trees that are infected, or at risk will be removed. Healthy trees will be treated. Due to costs associated with removing trees not all areas will be able to be addressed at the same time.

Response plan after Emerald Ash Borer was identified in the City in April 2022.

We hold no data

No tree survey inventory and no removal or treatment cost estimates are in our holdings, so the scope and price of the ash borer response were never quantified in our record. The city's stated approach is to remove infected and at-risk trees on rights-of-way, parks and other city land and treat healthy ones, phased because costs prevent addressing all areas at once. A public works tree inventory with per-tree removal and treatment costs would settle it.

No statement of the statutory vacation procedure or notice requirements from the city attorney is in our holdings. The record confirms only that the item returned under Legal with Attorney Riggs addressing the Klatt request, and the surviving text is cut off before his explanation. Minutes of that discussion or a city attorney memo on vacation procedure would settle it.

Rationale offered for the EDA's CEDA staffing recommendation.

We hold no data

CEDA's list of member communities and contract hours is not in our holdings, so the claim that many southern Minnesota communities use the service cannot be verified or counted. The only corroboration in the record is Administrator Vahlsing repeating that CEDA has contracted staff in many communities in southern Minnesota, which restates rather than evidences the claim. A CEDA client roster would settle it.

We hold no data

No Minnesota Department of Agriculture detection or quarantine records are in our holdings, so neither the 2008 first-detection date nor the spread through southeastern Minnesota can be verified.

The meeting was in session starting at 5:00 p.m.

County Assessor Augustine noted that the purpose of this meeting was to discuss only property valuations for 2022 assessments, payable in 2023. She updated the Council members present on sales activity for the period 10/1/2020 through 9/30/2021. There were 56 home sales during that period. The average valuation increase in the City was 18.46%. Two residents attended the meeting in person and the County Assessor's office had two calls with issues related to the proposed valuations:

Joe Farrell (Call in)

66.260.0070 Mr. Farrell had called the assessor's office to request an appeal of his proposed valuation of his property. He stated that he bought the property in February 2022. There had been a major water leak in the upstairs two years ago and the house needed to be gutted. Assessor Augustine recommended reducing the property value from $238,000 to $141,400.

Doug Klatt (Call in)

66.380.0120 Mr. Klatt had called the assessor's office to request an appeal of his proposed valuation of his property. He stated it was a vacant lot. Assessor Augustine recommended reducing the property value from $36,000 to 23,000.

James Miner

66.240.0170 Mr. Miner attended the meeting and stated that he had removed a porch from his house and wanted to know if that had added value to his property. Assessor Augustine stated that the porch did add some value to Miner's property. A County employee went to Miner's property and verified that the porch was removed.

SUBJECT: LMCIT Liability Coverage Waiver

Suggested Action:

The City Council is annually required to designate whether to waive the monetary insurance liability limits. State statute limits a city's tort liability to a maximum of $500,000 per claimant and $1,500,000 per occurrence. These limits apply whether the claim is against the city, against the individual officer or employee, or against both. Cities can choose to waive the state liability limits. Cities can purchase additional insurance coverage up to $2,000,000 annually. Further information is contained in a League of MN Cities form in the packet. In the past the City has not waived the liability limits.

SUBJECT: Request for City Vacation of Alley north of 1st Street.

SUGGESTED ACTION: Doug and Mary Klatt are requesting that an area of Right of Way

(alley) north of 1st Street be vacated. There are utilities that cross the right of way area. Due to grade, and flood plain issues staff does not see any way this area would be developed in the future. If the area is vacated the property would be split evenly between the abutting property owners. The vacation will require a Council public hearing prior to any action taken by the Council. If the Council wants to proceed with the process a hearing would need to be scheduled. The City Attorney will discuss the vacation process further at the meeting. Attached below are letter from Klatt's requesting the vacation and maps showing the location of the right-of-way area,

SUBJECT: Update on Emerald Ash Borer found in the City. Wayne Ehrich-

Public Works Director

SUGGESTED ACTION: The Emerald Ash Borer has been identified in the City in April. It

was first identified in the state in 2008. It has spread through much of Southeastern Minnesota since then. The City has been surveying rights-of-way, parks and other City land since then. Trees that are infected, or at risk will be removed. Healthy trees will be treated. Due to costs associated with removing trees not all areas will be able to be addressed at the same time.

On private property it is the owners responsibility to monitor and treat or if needed remove trees. The City can not remove trees on private property. We will also be working with the City attorney to review City ordinances in response to infected trees that are not removed by owners. This will be an ongoing process. We will be discussing the issue further at upcoming Council meetings. Public Works Superintendent Ehrich will discuss the issue further at the Council meeting. Information is attached below.
