Wyoming council schedules local board of appeals and equalization for April 15 at county facility
Summary
Council voted to hold the local board of appeals and equalization on Wednesday, April 15, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Chisago County Government Center, following a county request for a full-day schedule and staff recommendation.
The Wyoming City Council unanimously voted on Jan. 20 to hold the local board of appeals and equalization on Wednesday, April 15, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Chisago County Government Center.
Staff (Linwood) said the county requested the full‑day format so assessors could meet with residents across a broader window; staff noted the county-run session would offer more opportunity for people with varying schedules to appear. Linwood said typical attendance when the hearing is held locally ranges from about three to under double digits, but the county’s longer hours may be more accessible to retirees and workers on nonstandard schedules. Council discussion referenced the trade-offs between local convenience and the broader access provided by the county site; the council approved the county location and full‑day schedule by voice vote.
Practical notes: staff will coordinate details with the county; the county assessor’s staff will lead assessment discussions while city staff will assist on matters outside the assessor’s jurisdiction. Notices to the public and property owners will be issued in advance of the hearing.
