Appraisal Updates/Expenditure of Funds - Old Mill Road & Backage Road <br />Special Assessments <br /> <br />City Administrator Larson suggested that the City Council authorize an appraiser to <br />review Old Mill Road, based on actual conditions to make sure we are in good shape with <br />the proposed assessment. He stated that the appraiser should also take another look at <br />Backage Road property as we prepare to assess that project. He added that they could <br />take it a step further to engage a second appraiser to provide a second opinion. He stated <br />that the cost would be a couple thousand dollars to update previous work, and $4-5,000 to <br />confirm with a second appraiser. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser stated that having a second appraiser would give us more tools to <br />look at. He stated that there has been a lot of contention on both projects, and it would be <br />in our best interest to be very accurate. <br /> <br />Mayor Capra inquired whether the City Council agreed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that she would want to wait to see what the <br />first appraisal showed before agreeing to schedule a second one. <br /> <br />Councilmembers Lee, Paar, and Lakso were in favor of getting a second opinion to <br />ensure that there are no surprises. <br /> <br />City Attorney Glaser stated that they would adjust for market conditions at the same time. <br />He added that, if both appraisers are close, the City will have a strong case. <br /> <br />Page 7 of 15 <br /> <br />7 <br />
