COUNCIL AGAIN DENIES REQUEST OF D,P, BLOMQUIST FOR ADJUSTMENT OF SPECIAL .
ASSESSMENTS'ON TAX FORFEITED PROPERTIES IN BROOKVIEW HEIGHTS FIRST,
SECOND 'AND THIRD ADDITIONS. At'the request of Mayor Bredesen, who stated
Mr. Blomquist had asked that Council reconsider its action denying his
request for Special Assessment Adjustment on some twenty-one tax
delinquent lots in the Brookview Heights Addition, the Council reviewed
Mr. Blomquist's offer in detail (offer recorded in Minutes of 8/26/63,
Page 167, this Minute Book).
Council recognizing that *B gh&s 29,&&ular instance there could well
be an economic advantage/ o complying with Mr. Blomquist's offer.
It was noted, however, that there is other tax delinquent property in
the Village which bears special assessments; that the possibility of
an adjustment in special assessments at such time as property is about
to go on sale for taxes might lead others to forego paying current
taxes in hopes they, too, might affect the type of adjustment Mr. Blomquist is now requesting. VanValkenburg moved that Nr. Blomquist
be informed that Council has denied his request with regrets. Motion seconded by Rixe and carried.
Some considerable discussion was had,
There being no further business to come before this meeting, Tupa moved
for adjournment. Motion seconded by Rixe and carried. Meeting adjourned
at 6:OO P.M.
