The Frazee City council purchased an appraisal for $5,000 of the Baumgart Auto Repair property along West Maple Avenue. The appraisal is being sought after the property owner, Mike Baumgart, contested the special assessments placed upon his business. He filed the appropriate grievances during the requested time frame, and presented the council with his own appraisal, which suggested the $21,000 assessment did not increase the property value by that amount.

The Frazee-Vergas School Board met on Tuesday, Nov. 13 at the Media Center in the high school. The meeting time had been moved to the Tuesday date from the regular second Monday of the month by the school board. The school board reviewed an issue of the school forest property and a cabin on that property that is owned by Dean Albertson. The question of whether the cabin could be donated to the school district had been posed.

Shopping on small business Saturday (Nov. 24) can be a great opportunity to search for that perfectly unique gift. The Vergas Community Club added to the fun by organizing an Old Fashioned Christmas celebration from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
