Does your entire 50 foot run of fence border his property? if it does, and he's putting in a new fence, then in theory you could just remove yours and his new fence will serve both of you, right?
I think it's worth getting your own survey. I would recommend someone other than the guy you asked who sounds lazy. Did the neighbor's survey crew actually find the property pins/medallions or did he just go off measurements? Errors happen, especially when you are getting down to inches here or there. Maybe call the city and ask them who they use (they likely outsource).
If your fence is truly on his property and those markers from the 70s were off, then you only have 2 options: Appeal to his sensibility, or move your fence.
