but rather a start-up contribution to obtain necessary funds f or the

shelter and prwiding adoption services. He stated if thEy can financially
accomplish it, they w�11 prwide ammal control services. He stated they
now have support from Ramsey, St. Francis. Spring Lake Park, Colwnbia

provide oree-time assistance, it protahly coulc� be done in the 1987 budget.

get involved. He stated they have the support of the veterinarians in
private enterprise.

it is difficult to discuss without an amount or source of funding in mind.

if it wasn't in oompetition with the other vetennarians. He did feel the
animal control services are reeded.

Mr. Turx�quist's hane is a split fa3er, and there was not enough ad�ustrnent
made for the differences in square footaye.
Mr. Nlulcahy stated he used the manual furru.shed la� the County and the niarket
data appra3ch in appraising this groperty. He stated it was comyarecs with
six �mFarables within 4�0 feet. He statec3 all of these homes are split
fa3ers and tuilt 1� the same builder within four years of each other. Mr.
Mulcahy stated the figures indicate what the property would be worth, after
the ad�ustments are made. He skated these ad�ustments are from the cost
manual and cRves an indicated market value of the property oi $105,000 and
applying the percentage ratio used in figuring market value, this would
indicate a value of $97,700. Mr. Mulcahy felt, therefore, the $96,600 value
glaced on this property is well supported and would not recomnPnd arr� change
in value.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Mulcahy i.f he felt the person makirig the appraisal for
D�x. Turr�quist had some reason to a�raise it laa.
Mr. Mulcahy stated the three oom�xirables used Ly the appra�.ser were fran the
multiple listing service and didn't feel they really com�red to this
property. He stated he Fhysically inspects every hane in Fridle� so he fc�1t
he oould make a bettet c3etermination of which properties are comparable.
� Mr. Mulcahy stated the City receives all the sales figures and the
independent appra� ser receives only the multig] e listing service sales.

properties getting older, people are rebuildir!g and adding on to their
