1. Annual Board of Review.
Mr. Orlan Krietlow of the Wr'ght County Assessor's office
was present to answer questio s that property owners had
regarding valuations for taxe payable in 1984.
Mr. Bud Kline, who owns a dup ex on lDts 8 and half of 9,
Block 9, questioned why his d plex was valued higher than
an adjoining 4 unit rental dw lling. The 4 unit building
he previously owned is now va ued at approximately $83,000
while his duplex, although ne er, is valued at $86,000.
Mr. Kline felt that his dupl x which does not have a base-
ment was valued too high in c mparison to both the 4 plex
and other duplexes in the Cit. Mr. Krietlow explained
that his valuation was based n schedules provided by the
state and on square footage.
