South Dakota Attendees
Educational Sessions
Evaluating Green Building Technology-Ron Euteneuer,
CBO, CMA & Art Buhs, Green Building Contractor (4 hr session)
Information on everything from geothermal systems for heating and cooling, to
structural insulated panels (SIPs) for roofing, walls and flooring, to pervious
paving that allows precipitation to soak back into the ground and not through
the sewers.
Unique Appraisal Problems-Rick Stuart, CAE & Marion
Johnson, CAE (in two 4 hr sessions)
Making aware the difficulties encountered by assessors when valuing unique
property or structural problems, discussing the standard on valuation of
properties affected by environment contamination. How do mold, mercury, snakes,
meth labs, Chinese drywall and even "hauntings" affect value? What do you do
with housing booms that go bust? Do out of town buyers affect the market? These
subjects and more were discussed and answered.
And many more!
Tour of Target Field-Home of the Minnesota Twins
The tour included the underground workings as well as
concessions, seating and ground keeping. Ductwork takes necessary items up to
concessions in the upper decks, such as grease and beer. The steel frame is
coated with fire proof materials. Exterior and many interior walls are covered
with native limestone quarried in Mankato MN. The main videoboard is the 4th
largest in Major League Baseball. The wood floor laid in the Town Ball Tavern is
the actual floor from the Minneapolis Armory, the prior home of the Minneapolis
Lakers before their move to Los Angeles. Seating is stacked to accommodate the
small space the field was built on and actually provides closer views of the
action. The Budweiser Roof Deck and Champion's Club is available for events
besides the games. A light rail is available to transport game goers to and from
many street level locations, parking garages, bus connections and the airport.
