Staff <br /> anticipates an early March closing date on the property. As part <br /> of the project, the city will need to arrange to have the <br /> structure demolished and removed shortly after the city acquires <br /> it to reduce the length of time the structure is unoccupied and <br /> in city ownership. Therefore, it is time to request proposals <br /> for the demolition and removal of this property. <br /> The fire department plans to use the structure for training <br /> activities prior to its demolition. Initially the department <br /> received permission from the city council for smoke drills. The <br /> fire chief and training director will be contacted about the <br /> extent of training that the department plans for this structure. <br /> Any activity, but especially burning, will require careful <br /> coordination with the neighboring property owners. <br /> Finally, as a reminder, the city received Community Development <br /> Block Grant funds for the full federally mandated relocation <br /> costs of the residents and for a major portion of the structure's <br /> acquisition. The additional acquisition costs and demolition <br /> costs are part of the city's 1988 TIF district plan. <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> Approve the request to seek proposals for the demolition and <br /> removal of the structure at 2061 West Larpenteur Avenue. <br />
