Where do all these fees go to?

More taxes!

I don't even drink but there is so much money that is already generated from liquor sales I really don't think you should do more that a $100 increase per year.

General fund !!

Cut expenses instead of raising everything

Maybe if the city wants to make money they should tow the cars parked on the streets during snowstorms!!!!!

We get higher taxes for general fund and these establishments in Albert Lea get a double whammy higher fees ! Must be because the pull tab and electronic games are making these businesses to much money and some others want their cut 👍

I dont remember buying a ticket to this show but the jokes suck. Ya fuckin clowns

When is enough enough? Never for the greedy.

This should be looked at again. My dad, a long time businessman in town wrote a letter I recently found that was written to a distant cousin in the mid-sixties. In it he noted we were a town growing with a population of 18,600 or so. We are now at 18,300 sixty years later. Let's really take a look at this. I don't drink so I'm not a player in the issue but I think we can find a way to keep this lower.

Parking ticket. Contact registered owner. Dialog. Then resolve the issue like adults. Perhaps the sitting car was sold, but the buyer never transferred title? Look into it before you just tow it. Most conflicts can be settled with calm, rational conversation.

Or show up for a ride a long since all these keyboard warriors seem to know how to do it better.

Lets play a game .........how many people will complain about this post?

This is the snow removal policy on the hyperlink. Make vehicle removal even/odd times mandatory or tow it. Every other city has that rule. Its laughable how many cars just get left, then leave and leave behind a giant snow drift. Let's make life easier for the city plows.

All I ask if they can please remove the snow on my side of the street they only did across the street and there were no cars on my side of the street

Would be nice if they went over the roads in town a few more times after a snowfall.

Start doing the side roads it's not easy to drive on and also cars almost slide into you on them

Thank you very much!

Please plow margaretha ave today no matter what . The north end

Is there prospective businesses looking at utilizing these two parcels?

Put commercial space in the middle of residential? Genius planning Albert Lea.

What's that going to cost us residents??

Whats wrong with that space between Home Depot and Syversons?

It doesn’t matter to them. I’m quite sure that the decision has already been made.

How healthy is this to residential area?

Red is residential. Blue is proposed commercial. Make. it. Make. Sense.

Decision is already made.... did it with 2 parcels on 775th ave back in October... was pointless going to the zoning meeting

Ya .great place to have semi truck traffic .this city counsel is as crooked as walz

I’m more interested who was originally there first? It seems as if they originally built the trailer parks to house the factory workers as they were building industrial plots. Which makes sense. The highlighted areas I attach here would be my suggestion. Fill in blue with more industrial and move all residential into the red. Seems more uniform that way. Rather than random plot of industrial in the middle of residential.

Not logical on their end but hopefully it pushes them to maintain 11th street better 😅

Aren’t there plenty of open space already. Fill them first. That’s called fiscally responsible. I’m all for expansion but there’s a right way to do it.

Those poor people in the trailer court. They’re gonna be boxed in around industrial so probably in the future imminent (I think I spelt that right) domain will kick in.

I made this for you!

It's a joke for people that live in that area more people will move if that happens

People could have built houses here. Yet no one did. So what’s the problem?

Didn't the city years ago pay to prep all the land next to severson's that still sits empty??? Why not use this resource all us tax payers already paid for?

Of course, residential property value does not mean crap unless the city wants to create additional taxes by raising residential property Values so they can collect more taxes!

I'm sure the kids in the trailer park can't wait to have more semis and buildings to look at.

No kidding. There are alot of deer in that area too.

Do it. More business means more jobs. More jobs means more families. More families supports better services, healthcare and commercial businesses. Etc

I've lived here for a year now I like it but with 2 major freeways running through it this town should have more job opportunities and more business need more family restaurants instead of fast food especially by the interstate that will bring more money to the town just saying

Why wouldn’t you do this out by the interstates.more semis going through residential areas. Make it easy on the drivers. Faribault is developing along 35 not through residential. And what incentives is the city willing to offer to get businesses wanting to build here? Tax free of the home owners? 10-15 employees does not a big business make. 50-100 employees or more is what we need. Why can’t we get a grocery store on west side of town? Off subject but could the city have made some mistakes on our proposed taxes? My taxes are going up $1222. They will be over $3000. Well over what they valued my property.? Over 50%. Why are some way less? Is it coincidence with all the things going on in this state right now? When is the next meeting? I’ve heard there are 3.

If we dont have land for companies to look at we have lost THAT POTENTIONAL New business. We need to be ready to receive a company instead of wait and see. GOOD PLANNING BY THE CITY TO BE READY

Vote them out now

Yes! More taxes! Just what we want! Wait till next year! We'll get more! Property value skyrocketed and need to pay thousands into escrow shortage PLUS more taxes on that. Meanwhile streets are still not plowed since last weekend.....

Our property values are being set very high so the taxes can reflect that. And all the other increases will go off of the insane values they fabricated.

Fraudulent county in a fraudulent state. This is pure evil and pure theft. I can’t believe these people can sleep at night.

I never had anyone come look at my house. I’m sure they are going off these insane prices people are paying for homes . I have made zero improvements worth what my taxes will be. If this town had reasonable reasons for the high taxes fine, but it doesn’t. Two malls that are pathetic. Now Dunham’s is leaving? That’s on the mall though I get that. The small restaurants coming to town have few employees. How can it be 42 years ago when I moved here the population was about 18,000. What is it today? Pretty sad.

Based on property valuations that got increased insanely for people? No surprise why that happened 🙄 I haven't done anything to my property to warrant such an increase 😡

Change your records to private property not residential. That's how they got us. Residential property is for people who work for the government. Call the county and tell them to change it because it's false wording and corrupt

I'm not going to pretend to know the value of my home as I haven't looked into it at all for quite a while, though home prices are always climbing. However what I do know for a fact is that this claim that all homes are inspected every five years is Grade A bullshit. My home has not been assessed for at least 11 years now.

Can you request a assessment. And or like a second opinion

Snow much fun happening! Can’t wait to see the library ‘Best Books’🙌🏻

They should build a civic center here to host venues and other things
