Background and Rationale
body
Minnesota Statutes 273.061 require the County Assessor to be appointed by the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners and set an appointment term of four years. The Minnesota Department of Revenue requires that formal board action for reappointment be provided to their office by October 31, 2024 for the new term being approved. Patrick Chapman has been the County Assessor since November 15, 2022 and his current term expires December 31, 2024.
For reasons of past performance, qualifications and experience as a Senior Accredited County Assessor, the County Manager and the Deputy County Manager of the Information and Public Records service team recommend the reappointment of Patrick Chapman as the Ramsey County Assessor for a four-year term to begin January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2028.
