The average of the two appraisals on the Utility is about $98.5 Million dollars. What's up with that?

and from Stantec

"Section 5 “Purchase Price; Payment” of the signed Agreement for Purchase and Sale (“agreement”) states: “Both Seller and Purchaser shall each select a separate valuation firm… Each valuation shall be based upon, and prepared in accordance with, the income approach of valuation.” The income approach calculates the net present value of income available for debt service net of debt service coverage and contributions to a Renewal & Replacement Fund (R&R fund). As such, the valuation discussed herein reflects a projection of annual revenues net of projected annual expenses such that projected annual income is calculated for 33 years (FY 2019 thru FY 2052)1.

I understand the appraisals, that's not what I am trying to figure out. I am trying to reconcile how a taxable entity (under current ownership) valued at around $98.5 million pays only $3,780 in property taxes?
