appeared to be a misunderstanding by the property owner.

as he lives on a noisy corner.

assessor and to inspect the facility to determine if the basement is different
from the assessor's information. It it is, the valuation will be reduced $800,
from $35,400 to $34,600.
All ayes - Carried. Absent - Jacobsen, Luettinger

the basement was as shown on the city records and there was no justification
for a change in valuation.

the property was in great disrepair and felt the assessor's valuation of
$29,160 was too high and is not a salable value.
