There was discussion on the Mike Noethe property that is for sale at Patch
Grove. David had Tim Slack do an appraisal of the property. The appraised value
of $600,000.00 includes a 60'x8O' shop, 20'x4O' office, and 60'xl44' machine shed
on 2.9 acres. The fair market value for tax purposes is $141,700.00. Most of the

exactly what the Highway Department needs.
