A. MVHRP - Proposal to Purchase 6991 Pleasant View Drive.
Director Jopke gave his report as follows:
At the EDA meeting on April 13, 1998, the Commission approved the appraisal and negotiation
for purchase of 6991 Pleasant View Drive for participation in the Housing Replacement Program.
The City acquired appraisal on the property was in the amount of$56,000. Joe Witzman,
property owner, had received the Ramsey Councty assessed value of the home and property at
$60,500. Mr. Witzman wishes to sell his property at a minimum of the taxed value on the
property.
Stigney questioned the appraisal methods and suggested that the City revise its policies and come
up with a more consistent way of getting properties appraised.
• Koopmeiners asked Attorney Long if Ramsey County's appraisal could be challenged.

Attorney Long suggested that the process is a negotiated process. If the appraisal is slightly less
than the asking price is you can ask yourself, "Do you want to buy it, or is it worth paying the
extra money?" The appraisal process is in place to look out for the best interest of the citizen's
money, he added.
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Koopmeiners to approve EDA resolution No. 98-EDA-93,
authorizing the purchase of property located at 6991 Pleasant View Drive for the Housing
