Assessor Greg Kramber bri ef I y expl ained how properties are
valued. Each property is physically inspected every four years.
Kramber reported that four property owners had contacted his
office regarding their evaluation and he had visited each property
prior to the meeting.
Joe & Kathryn Clayton (P!D #101-039-002070) of 5352 Lachman
Avenue NE, had contacted Kramber. In visiting the house, Kramber
found there were foundation problems, water damages to walls and
windows, etc. Kramber had assessed the property at $136,600. He
recommended that the Council lower the market value ten (10%) per
cent. The market value would be adjusted to $126,300.
Vetsch made a motion to approve the Kramber's recommendation
and establish the market value on P1D #101-039-002070 at $126,600.

Duane Krueger (P1D #101-800-062110) was unhappy wi th his
market value of $201,700. Kramber visited the property for the
first time and feels the value had been overstated. He recommended
the Council approve a reduction in market value to $197,900.
Vetsch made a motion to approve the Kramber's recommendation
and establish the market value on PID #101-800-062110 at $197,900.
Gundersen seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Torn Lewis (P1D #101-024-003030) felt his market value was too
high based on a recent sale of the neighboring property. Kramber
concluded that the quality of construction of the house was over-
rated and should be reduced. He recommends that the value of the
property be reduced from $145,200 to $133,700.
Gundersen made a motion to approve the Kramber's
recommendation and establish the market value on PID #101-024-
003030 at $133,700. Vetsch seconded the motion. All voted aye.
Jim Krystosek (P1D #101-500-363403) contacted Kramber
regarding the portion of his property located north of 1-94 that is
mostly wetlands. Upon visiting the property, Kramber found that
the land is mostly unusable. He recommends the land lying north of
1-94 be revalued at $33,400.
