City Council Minutes January 21, 1985 J:>age Six and further indicated that Mr. Enno Schmidt's daughter, Ms. Arlys Christeck indicated that the property should be worth more than the appraised value as the 16 acres would be split, and also that there is some question to the value of the rest of the residential property, if a water tower were placed next to it. Discussion was carried on regarding the cost of the Enno Schmidt property versus the cost of placing the water tower further out of the City or on the east side of Highway #169, regarding additional piping and placement of the waterline under Highway #169. The City Administrator indicated that Enno Schmidt felt $10,000 for the property would be a fair price.
