MINNESOTA • REVENUE MEMO Date: February 3,2009 To: All County Assessors From: MICHAEL STALBERGER Information and Education Section Subject: Local Board of Appeal and Equalization CATCH-UP Training Sessions The Department of Revenue has scheduled four catch-up local board training sessions before the 2009 Local Board of Appeal and Equalization(LBAE).These sessions will accommodate jurisdictions who were in compliance with the training requirements when the LBAE meetings were scheduled(i.e.they had a trained member on December 1,2008),but lost their trained member due to city/township elections,resignations or other circumstances.The training is open to any local board members,but these"catch-up"sessions will only benefit those boards that were already in compliance with the training requirement and would otherwise lose their right to hold their LBAE because they would not have a trained member present at the 2009 LBAE meeting.It will not enable those boards that were not already in compliance to regain their boards for 2009—open book meetings will need to be scheduled in these jurisdictions. Please notify your board members of the training sessions. They must register to ensure space is available in the session they wish to attend.To register,please have them contact the person listed below at the location they will be attending. You will note these are the first trainings provided under new policies put into place regarding board member certification and requiring pre-registration. More information for assessors will follow shortly. Please review this additional information as soon as it is released so you are familiar with the new policy and guidelines and can answer any questions your LBAEs may have.
