acquisition of property. He related to State Law in regards to estimating market value, which
addresses three parts to appraisals: whole land, part acquired, and remainder. Mr. Ondo briefed
on each type of appraisal, and stated that appraisals do not include driveways, fences, mailboxes,
and signs as those items are replaced.
In addition, Mr. Ondo spoke about appraisals relating to trees. He said appraising properly with
trees was based on what type of trees, how many trees, and the location of trees, however trees
were not appraised individually. Tree value is included in the land value.

City Attorney, Wayne K. Olson briefed Council on issues relating to fair market value,
