The Centerville City Council recently had its yearly visit from City Assessor Mary Wells, SAMA, and her team.
Accompanying Wells at the Local Board of Appeal and Equalization meeting were Chris Larson, AMA, Erik Skogquist, SAMA, and Diana Stellmach, senior manager in the Anoka County Assessment Office.
Their presentation of the city’s 2026 property assessment report included a public hearing that opened and closed quickly without comment. During the presentation, Wells focused on residential values, while Larson focused briefly on commercial valuation.
The 2026 assessment for Centerville is based on 1,664 parcels of property within the city, 260 of which were inspected during the quintile review process (20% of all properties within
a city are inspected each year). The 71 properties where building permits were issued for improvements, remodeling or demolition were also reviewed.
For the remaining 80% of properties that were not reviewed this year, real estate sales are used to determine their valuation. The city saw 65 total sales recorded during the 2026 assessment study period, Oct. 1, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2025. Residential sales made up 60 of those sales and
commercial/ industrial made up the rest. Of the 60 residential sales, 40 of those sales met the criteria of “qualified sales,” according to the Minnesota Department of Revenue. These sales were the basis for adjustments made to the improved residential properties throughout the city. Only one commercial sale met the criteria for a “qualified sale,” so commercial/industrial valuations

The Centennial School District’s long-range plan, also referred to as Centennial Forward, continues to be refined as district staff continue to work with the School Board and outside stakeholders.
Centennial Forward is expected to be implemented over the next decade. It will help ensure district schools remain vibrant, safe and prepared to meet the evolving needs of current and future students.
The district has collected another round of feedback from the board. Superintendent Jeff Holmberg said based on that feedback, the district has been able to refine the plan, bringing more clarity and helping reduce the scope of the project.
Holmberg said some of the conceptual drawings will be updated, as some of them have things accentuated a bit more prominently than what was anticipated.
“Some of our elementary renderings looked like they were going to receive a little more of a refresh, when that was not the case,” he said. “We also discussed the second level of Blue Heron (Elementary) and looking at the cost benefit level … Ultimately, (we are) moving forward with a concept (plan) to take that second level out.” The concept plans for the baseball and softball fields will also be included in the revision process.
There was also conversation about the playground overlap and relocation at Rice Lake Elementary, pending the addition to the school’s cafeteria. At Golden Lake Elementary, Holmberg said discussion revolved around the kitchen and cafeteria expansions. Conversation mainly focused on consolidating the entrance to a better location and shifting the restrooms that were proposed for that addition.
Discussion about the plans for the middle school focused on finding a different option for the district’s bus road partnership with the city as well as leaving the middle school track and field in its current location.
Ultimately, the bus road project will not be included in the referendum. The district is still exploring its options and has not had substantive conversations with the city.
There was also discussion about the possibility of relocating the tennis courts to the high school. Holmberg added conversation also included having a more dedicated space for tennis courts at the high school and concentrating the second referendum question only on the two-court addition at the high school.
Holmberg said the board and district staff also talked about financial considerations on the operational side. The school district is exploring an increase in its general education revenue through an operating levy with an estimated annual increase of approximately $1.95 million, a $300 per-pupil increase, or an increase of around $2.4 million, a $375 per pupil increase.
The metro average for an operating levy is $1,519 per pupil; the maximum allowed by the state is $2,340 per pupil. Currently, Centennial is at $995 per pupil.
“(We) also explored what that looks like with bond Question 1 and bond Question 2, or is it possibly a
joint bond question?” Holmberg added. “Since all those meetings and since our long-range plan, we’ve continued to find ways to have that conversation for you (the board) to set the stage for that conversation coming up in May.”
These revisions have allowed Director of Business Services Patrick Chaffey and his staff to bring the total costs associated with the long-range plan down to $108.4 million. Before, the plan was estimated to cost $121 million (see “Revisions continue to Centennial’s long-range plan,” Quad Community Press, March 24, 2026). Included in project costs is room for 20% inflation.
To help cover these costs, the district has proposed adding two referendum questions to the ballot for the November general election. The first question would help allocate $94 million of project costs, while the second would cover the remaining $14.4 million.
Board members will have the opportunity to discuss at their next work session whether they want to have a combined proposed bond question on the ballot, or two individual questions.
“If you were going to have the two questions (referendum), it would be Question 1 would pass, then Question 2, not independently,” School Board Vice Chair Sue Linser clarified.
Holmberg said if the board decided to have the two bond questions, that would be the direction. He explained that Question 1 would need to pass Question 2. Chaffey added at the next work session, staff will have the sample bond language available to the board for review.
“Remember, we started out at a very high level, $225 million … We’ve been working down to that first question, which was $109 million, and is now down to $94 million,” Chaffey said. “I appreciate everybody’s time that went into this. There was a lot of refinement. We’ve refined a lot. It seems that every week there was a little bit more, and a little bit more.”
“I’m really happy with the process, how transparent it’s been, how much involvement we’ve had,” School Board Chair Tom Kinsley said. “The process has been very, very good.”
Next month, the board will meet with district partners for continued discussion at a work session.

Anoka County Bike to Work Week is back
All commuters in Anoka County are invited to participate in Bike to Work Week from Monday, May 11, through Friday, May 15. Participants are encouraged to ride a bike one day to work or all week. No special gear is needed, just a bike and helmet. In 2025, nearly 250 bikers participated in Bike to Work Week from more than 20 businesses.
Skipping traffic, managing health and saving money on gas are a few benefits of biking for transportation. Prepandemic, the average Twin Cities resident spent about 52 hours per year stuck in traffic. Biking and other related exercises can also help manage stress, anxiety and depression.
“Biking has many benefits, and we’re proud to support events that encourage safe riding during Bike Month,” said Commissioner John Heinrich, lead
commissioner on Anoka County’s Transportation Committee. “With more than 85 miles of beautiful trails, Anoka County is a great place to get out and ride.”
For most places in Anoka County, sidewalk cycling is permitted. Bicyclists should also do an “ABC” check before they leave. Check the air, brakes and chain to ensure your bike is in working order.
National Bike Month is a celebration of cycling held annually in May and sponsored by the

Graduations are in full swing across the country for colleges and universities. We were delighted to be among nearly 40,000 family and friends celebrating our daughter's graduation at the University of Colorado-Boulder this past weekend. Leading up to commencement, anxiety can build as students wrap up projects, presentations and finals. Emotions are high as the realization hits that friends will be going separate ways after graduation and time is limited for catching that one last Thursday night out at Rosetta Hall.

My parents and my in-laws were able to attend our daughter’s graduation. The ceremony was held on Folsom Field, home of the Colorado Buffaloes football team. Built in 1924, it currently seats 53,750 spectators. Our day began with a 7 a.m. morning hike into the stadium to get a seat. The scene is breathtaking in more ways than one - the crisp mountain air was brisk and elevation robs one of oxygen, but the stadium also has one of the most beautiful backdrops with the Flatirons that are part of the front range of the Rocky Mountains. As the sun began to rise in the bluebird sky, it became hot, volunteers handed out paper fans and sunscreen.
With the students all standing at their seats, they looked like a shimmering wave of success. They looked outstanding in their caps, gowns and variety of colors of tassels, cords and stoles representing the programs they majored in and honors and recognitions. The keynote speaker was actress Kristen Davis, best known for her role as Charlotte in “Sex in the City.” She spoke about the excitement of getting her first major role on “Melrose Place” and then disappointment shortly after when her character died and was written out of the show. She said as you go out into the world, doors will start to open and you have to go through them. “Do not set limits on what you envision for yourself,” she said. “Dig deep to find the vision of what you want for your own life and for others. And have the faith in yourself to pursue that vision.” My daughter's takeaway from her message is to say “yes” to opportunities.
One of the graduates was Shedeur Sanders, now the 24-year-old quarterback of the Cleveland Browns. He seemed to be primarily with his filming crew and posting pictures and video on social media. It was fun that two former Mahtomedi Zephyrs were spotted in the background of one of his graduation reels.
Our local high school seniors are next up to graduate in the coming weeks. Many thanks to the parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, pastors and coaches around our communities who have been part of our children’s lives. It’s the amazing people in communities that make the difference. Congratulations to all of the students and families celebrating a graduation milestone in 2026.
I'll end with the quote Kristen Davis shared with the CU graduates by Henry David Thoreau: “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he had imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

h, Spring. It’s been my favorite season since I was little. After a long winter, it feels good to see the snow giving way to green grass and neighbors coming back outside. The longer days aren't bad either. Whether its kids riding bikes, people digging in their gardens or neighbors catching up across the driveway, spring brings a renewed sense of energy to our community.
One of the best examples of that spirit was our April 18 Spring Cleanup Day. The morning started raw and windy and even had a few flakes – I joked with folks that it was more like Winter Cleanup Day – but that didn’t stop people from turning out; the line remained steady for four hours! It was wonderful to see so many show up, take care of their homes and help keep our city looking good. This is the kind of event that reminds me of what makes Circle Pines spe-

cial. We are a small city, but we have a strong sense of pride and a willingness to do our part.
Thank you to everyone who participated in Cleanup Day, as well as our city staff, public works team and Republic Services who helped make the event run smoothly. Keeping our city clean and welcoming does not happen by accident. It takes residents who care, and Circle Pines has plenty of them.
The season also means renewal and this year it brought a big change for our family. We welcomed a new Springer Spaniel puppy: Gipsy Danger -- yes, sci-fi fans, her name comes from a movie. She is energetic, friendly and very happy that warmer weather has arrived. It doesn’t hurt that her breed is appropriate for this time of year.
Gipsy’s responsibilities are still being worked out, but so far they include greeting neighbors, romping through the woods, inspecting sticks, and chewing on literally everything -- OK, that last one might not be an official duty. For her, every day brings something interesting, even though we might consider it routine. For example, I see our house’s back door, but she sees a piece of wall that suddenly “moves,” and behind it are all
sorts of adventures. This leads to a lot of time staring at the door, waiting for the magic to happen. It’s a sense of wonder at the newness of it all, and that’s also a very important aspect of spring.
This is a great time to enjoy the places that make our city feel like home. Finally, we can get outside! Our trails and open spaces give us many ways to reconnect after the winter months. I hope everyone takes time this season to enjoy a walk, paddle down Rice Creek, wave to a neighbor, and appreciate the environment we all share. Baseball games are already rolling at Carl Eck Park. Fishing rods are casting on Golden Lake. And our Music in the Park series is right around the corner. Strong communities are built through everyday connections, and those connections are alive and well in Circle Pines.
Thank you for the continued privilege of serving as your mayor. I look forward to seeing many of you around town this spring — and chances are you will run into Gipsy too!
Matt Percy is the mayor of Circle Pines.

Lino Lakes Police Department welcomes 3 new officers
Kayla McKinney, Colton Timmons and David Staigerwald have each taken their oath of office to join the Lino Lakes Police Department. McKinney, Timmons and Staigerwald will join the department as police officers.
McKinney previously served as a firefighter with the North Branch Fire Department. According to Lino Lakes Chief of Police Curt Boehme, she joined the Lino Lakes Police Department in February 2024 and served as a community service officer. This last June, she began her training as a police officer.
Timmons joined the Lino Lakes Police Department as a cadet as part of the intensive, comprehensive peace officer education and training program in early 2025. In July, he began the department’s officer training program. Staigerwald was a police officer with the Maryland Transportation Authority Police Department for nearly 25 years. Boehme said Staigerwald held multiple
• Due to quorum issues, calendar anomalies and holidays, the city may occasionally meet less frequently than every two weeks. Yet city business must still get done. Therefore, staff requested a change to allow payments to be made in the interim when there are more than two weeks between meetings. The city will experience a three-week gap between the April 23 and May 14 meetings. This means that some invoices would have to wait four weeks to be paid. Payments could be late or show up as past due on upcoming statements. At its April 23 meeting, council unanimously (4-0; Mayor Nancy Golden attended via Zoom and other technology) approved a resolution delegating authority to pay certain claims in a timely manner when there are more than two weeks between meetings to pay bills. Passing this resolution will give the city administrator or her designee authority to
disburse payments. The city must also establish internal accounting and administrative control procedures and prepare annual audited financial statements, as a result.
• There won’t be any huge bill-paying gap resulting from the cancellation of the June 25 meeting, due to a lack of quorum. But there will be a change in the meeting date, because council members will either be at the League of Minnesota Cities conference in Rochester from June 24-26 or out of town on vacation. That June 25 meeting and work session have been rescheduled to 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 22, at City Hall. The work session will begin at 5 p.m. Because the June 22 meeting is defined as a special meeting, the city clerk will post notice at least three days in advance of the meeting. The change will also be noted on the city’s reader board and on the city website at www. centervillemn.com.

With the arrival of summer that brings increasing e-bike use, communities are experiencing challenges in many areas. Chief James Mork of the Centennial Lakes Police Department recently gave a presentation to the Centerville City Council and talked about e-bike safety and law enforcement efforts.
Some of the concerns about e-bikes include high speeds and reckless driving, serious injuries and potential for death, crowded bike paths, a disregard for the seriousness of riding an e-bike and municipalities that lack well-defined laws on the books.
Cities and public safety agencies have yet to come up with guidelines and laws that work for the different types of e-transportation available, but in the meantime, the CLPD has a plan to make everyone safer.
To address e-bike issues and keep everyone safe, the CLPD will engage in education and enforcement, provide information on social media, work with area schools, post electronic sign boards with new information, increase CLPD bike patrols during peak times, work with lawmakers to update state statutes, share information at bike rodeos and summer events, and examine local city ordinances.
Even though clear guidance on e-bikes may be lacking at the moment, Chief Mork said it is always a good idea when riding a bicycle to follow basic bicycle safety rules:
• Wear a helmet
• Avoid distractions
• Walk your bike in crowded areas
• Announce “on your left” when passing on a shared pathway
The Anoka County Sheriff's Office has been educating and enforcing laws regarding electric-assisted bicycles, motorcycles, dirt bikes and motorized foot scooters.
Electric-Assisted Bicycle
- Must be 15+ to operate.
- May operate in the same manner as provided for operation of other bicycles.
- Electric-assisted bicycles have a saddle and fully operable pedals for human propulsion.
Motorcycles (electric or gas) and electric dirt bikes
- Valid license with a motorcycle endorsement.
- Not allowed on bike paths or sidewalks.
- All traffic laws apply to the operation on roadways.
- Must have operational headlights and taillights, at least one rearview mirror, and insurance.
Motorized Foot Scooter
- Must be 12+ to operate.
- Protective headgear required for operators under 18 years old.
- Must be equipped with a headlight and taillight.
- Shall have the rights and duties applicable to the operator of a bicycle.
Learn more about the applicable laws at https://www.lmc.org or scan QR code. If you witness someone operating one of these items in a dangerous manner, please call 911 to report it to law enforcement.

know the differences between an e-bike and an e-moto: they are significant.
The three-tier e-bike classification system was adopted in 2014 by PeopleforBikes, a national advocacy group and industry trade association) and the Bicycle Products
Suppliers Association (BPSA). This classification is now used in statutes adopted in more than 36 states (www. peopleforbikes.org).
An e-bike may or may not have a throttle. Class I and Class III e-bikes do not have a throttle; riders must pedal to make the bicycle go. Class I e-bike motors cease to provide further assistance when the bicycle reaches 20 mph. Class II e-bikes have a throttle, but the bicycle’s motor ceases to provide further assistance after speeds reach 20 mph. Class III e-bike motors cease to provide further assistance when the bicycle reaches 28 mph. All e-bikes, however, are electric-assist, meaning they have functioning pedals.
Under Minn. Stat. §169.011, a legal electric-assisted bicycle must have functional pedals, a motor that does not exceed 750 watts, and a top assisted speed of 28 mph. An e-bike may be ridden in city parks and on streets and trails, according to Minnesota’s e-bike law.
An e-moto, on the other hand, can reach speeds of up to 60 mph; e-motos don’t have functioning pedals, just a footrest. An e-moto is for off-road riding and must be ridden on private property.
Some local jurisdictions have adopted regulations for e-bike and e-moto use, while the Minnesota Legislature is currently discussing how to regulate them. The University of Minnesota, for example, currently does not allow e-motos in its biking facilities, shelters, lockers and bike lanes (https://pts.umn.edu/).

were guided by overall county trends.
A qualified sale is an open market transaction that does not meet any of the Department of Revenue’s 31 disqualifying factors such as a sale to relatives, a bank sale, an estate sale or prior interest sale.
Sales and appraisals are only a part of the means to determine valuation. There is also a statistical analysis used to ensure accuracy and equity at neighborhood, municipal and county levels.
The overall city property valuation for 2026 is $707,995,800, a 1.26% decrease from last year. Agricultural properties increased in value by 5.44%; apartment properties increased by 2.79%; and single-family waterfront properties increased by 0.87%.
On the other side, industrial properties valuations decreased by 7.84%; commercial properties decreased by 1.42%; townhomes decreased by 1.03%; and single-family nonwaterfront properties decreased by 0.33%. Owners of properties whose valuation has gone up may or may not see an increase in their tax bill. The same is true for properties whose valuation has gone down. A property owner’s tax bill depends on the budgets of the various jurisdictions that receive revenue from those property taxes, which can be described as a pie that all property owners in that jurisdiction all share in. A property owner’s piece of the tax pie will be apportioned according to the classification and tax bracket that property is in.

• Lino Lakes resident Teresa O’Connell raised concerns about the new Public Works Building and the impact it would have on resident’s property values. She said some of the things the city is trying to do for one building “seems expensive” by putting in running water and city sewer as well as a lift station.
• Charlie Roadfeldt, another Lino Lakes resident, expressed his concerns about oil spills on the city streets. He said he was on a walk in his neighborhood when he noticed a number of oil spills consistent with where garbage trucks pass by. Roadfelt noted he saw around 20 oil spills in the neighborhood. He asked the council if there are risk management practices in place to help mitigate the oil spills. Mayor Rob Rafferty said city staff will get back to Roadfeldt on the topic at a later date.
• Nathan Nelson, a sophomore at Avail Academy and a Lino Lakes resident, spoke about the impact of commercial tobacco, specifically flavored vapes. Nelson said nicotine has a severe impact on mental, physical and financial health. He added his friends have felt peer pressure to try commercial tobacco products to fit in, and a part of that reason is because of their appealing flavors that mask “the harshness and dependence they cause.” Nelson said he believes it’s important for his generation to not get addicted to these products because of how destructive they could be to not only the consumer, but nature as well, since vapes contain heavy metals, plastics and lithium batteries. Nelson asked the council and city staff to consider ending the sale of all flavored vapes, pouches and other flavored tobacco products in Lino Lakes.
• The council approved the applications for an exempt and excluded gambling permit for the Lino Lakes Lions, with no waiting period, for two raffle events the Lions will host on Oct. 10 and Oct. 19. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement division issues exempt permits to nonprofit organizations that conduct lawful gambling on five or fewer days and that award less than $50,000 in prizes during a calendar year.
• The council has awarded the sale of general obligations bonds, series 2026A, to Brownstone Investment Group LLC in the amount of approximately $8.35 million. The bond proceeds will be used to finance the Otter Lake Road extension project that was part of the city’s 20262030 Capital Improvement Plan.
• The council has authorized the execution and delivery of a ground lease, lease purchase agreement and related documents with the Lino Lakes Economic Development Authority (EDA). At the March 23 meeting, the EDA authorized the
sale of approximately $27.4 million in lease revenue bonds. The bond proceeds will be used to acquire, construct and equip the Public Works Facility on property leased by the city from the EDA pursuant to a ground lease. The ground lease will be between the city, as lessor, and the EDA, as lessee. This also includes the lease-purchase agreement between the EDA, as lessor, and the city, as lessee.
• A grading agreement for the Peltier Ponds development has been approved by the city council, allowing site work to begin within the project area. The applicant, U.S. Home LLC, is proposing a residential development located west of 20th Avenue across from Watermark, east of Peltier Lake, and north of the Centerville city border. U.S. Home is now requesting authorization to commence grading on the site. In accordance with City Code Section 1001.145(2), site grading, wetland mitigation and installation of stormwater management facilities may proceed following preliminary plat approval, provided that a grading agreement is approved and financial securities are submitted. As part of these requirements, the applicant must provide a cash escrow in the amount of $65,707 to cover city costs along with a letter of credit totaling $671,667 to ensure completion of the required improvements.
• Pearson Brothers Inc. will be responsible for the completion of the 2026 seal coat and crack fill project after the council accepted its bid of approximately $112,477. The project includes seal coating and crack filling on approximately 3.3 miles of street in the Stoneybrook neighborhood and the Rohavic Oaks neighborhood. The completion date for this project is Aug. 31.
• The council has authorized the preparation of plans and specification for the Production Well No. 7 project. Currently, the city has six water production wells to meet the domestic water supply needs of the community. Well No. 2 has not been used since 2019 due to its poor water quality. Well No. 7 is being constructed to replace it. The well is planned to be constructed at the water treatment plant site for direct connection to the new plant. WSB has submitted a proposal to complete the engineering design, bid documents and construction services for the Well No. 7 project, not to exceed the amount of $150,255. The estimated project total cost is $1.1 million. Funding for the project is from the trunk area and unit fund.
The next City Council work session will be at 6 p.m. Monday, May 11, followed by a regular City Council meeting at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall.
