Tlie first item on the agenda was Dan Clark, of Universal Valuation Irxc., to discuss the appraisal of the town buildings. His fin7i has had an ongoing relationship with the Town for approximately 15 years. Their service provides the Town with replacement costs of their current buildings for insurance purposes. They would represent the Town"s best interests in the event of a loss. The Town has not updated since 2005 and the appraisals have to be updated at least every other year. Their proposal includes ten buildings that would only require an update, because their appraisals have not been longer than eight years ago. The fee to update those ten buildings would be $495.00. They have also provided a list of five buildings that need a new appraisal due to the age of their current appraisal. The fee to appraise those five buildings would. be $2,650.00 ($530.00 per building). I-lowever, Mr. Clark stated that if no changes have been made to those buildings since they were last appraised, they could deduct $75.00 per building and just do a limited scope appraisal, which means he would not transcribe another report. The Government Center has not been appraised since before the remodeling was done and the update will require same additional cast. If the Council chooses to have Universal Valuation to appraise the new street garage, the cost would be $530.00 for that building as well. There have been expansions to the Wastewater Treatment Plant, which Mr. Clark was not aware of, however he feels that the expansion is recent enough that there should be adequate documentation to allow him to still do a limited scope appraisal on that building also. Councilman Shields stated that he would prefer to table the discussion and vote until Attorney, TimCurrens and President Worthen have had a cltance to review the proposal. A motion to table the issue of the proposal from Universal Valuations, Inc. was made by Councilman Hams, second by Councilman Dolen. Motion carried 4-0. Dan Clark stated that he would put together an addendum of what was discussed with updated pricing and will provide it to the Town before the next meeting. The next item on the agenda was the Springmill drainage issue. Judy Atwood. asked why the Council is waiting on pre and past construction topography maps of the Springmill subdivision from Clu-istopl~er Burke Engineering anal not that of Rooker Trace and Rooker Run. Councilman Shields stated that he doesn't personally have any knowledge of the Council waiting on something from C1u-istopher Burke. His understanding was that at this paint the Council is waiting for the information from Banning Engineering and their sight evaluation to decide how to move forward. Brian Haggard of Banning Engineering stated that they had been waiting for a heavier rain to see the effect nn the drainage. "They were predicting heavy rains on Thursday, October 18a' and they were plaiming to observe the area at that time. He also stated that he does not believe that topography maps on Rooker'l"race exist. Jane Schoon and Mary Jo Troxell, representing the local Ten O'Clock Line Chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution, were present to ask the Council to proclaim October 20, 2007 as DAR Project Patriot Day.
