<br /> 75-259 "Consideration of a motion authorizing the City Assessor to refund $90.57
<br />to Gordon S. and Lolita G. French of 5221 Riveredge Drive.
<br />
<br /> The land survey furnished to the City for the Wise Beach area does not agree with
<br />the records recently furnished by a certified land surveyor. It has been the City's policy
<br />in matters such as this since the 1968 annexation to accept the latest recorded survey
<br />by a certified land surveyor. Therefore, it is necessary to rebate $90.57 to the owner since
<br />there is less acreage shown than was previously furnished us from the Chesapeake records.
<br />The City Manager recommends approval."

<br /> Motion of Mr. Barnes and seconded by Mr. Holley, that refund be granted in the amount
<br />of $90.57 with interest, was adopted by unanimous vote.

<br />year 197S-76. Funds for this rental will be paid entirely from Federal grant funds such
<br />as the Economic Development Administration, "701" funds, and other miscellaneous grants.
<br />The City Manager recommends approval."
