MOTION, passed Mr. Ness moved and Mr. Wieland seconded that the 112 properties listed in Mr. Klein's report to the 1996 Cass County Board of Equalization be added to the assessment roll in the amounts indicated in the said report. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously Brett Oemichen, Fargo, submitted a letter to the Stanley Township Board of Equalization, with a copy to Frank Klein, objecting to his assessment increase on property described as Lot 11, Block 2, Holmen's 3rd, Stanley Township. Mr. Klein offered to inspect the property and said Mr. Oemichen will talk to the township board again. No action was recommended at this time. David Vandrovec, Wheatland, addressed the County Board of Equalization at this time to appeal his assessment on the north one-half of Section 24, Eldred Township. Mr. Klein said this appeal was not submitted to the local Township Board of Equalization, however, the property owner did talk to the local assessor. Mr. Klein believes the township board should make any changes on farmland and, therefore, recommended no action be taken by the county board at this time. He suggested the landowner file an application for abatement and settlement of taxes on the property.
