John Scholten got a great deal at $13,545 per acre. Otto and Nickels got a steal at less than $800 per acre. And the TAXPAYERS of Wayland take it in the shorts again! Something smelled bad 4 years ago with Otto admitting they had an inside City Hall coach, as Otto said on TV8 interview "they" in city hall said to offer $20,000 when there was a realtor sign on the property at the time. The realtor price was $52,900 per acre. Quite a deal indeed. $1,327,790 vs. $20,000, a difference of $1,307,790! The original price the city gave for the property was $196,000 and 3 parcels were sold with the remaining huge parcel left. The city was land speculating with your tax dollars then, and selling at a loss later. Some great investment for 20+ years, thank you City Hall (whoever "they" is) and City Council for voting to accept so little for your "investment". Great job.
