MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JUNE 27, 2018 <br />Keis stated that the Council should first decide what they want to do with <br />this parcel. He explained that there has been discussion about using the <br />parcel for community events. He stated that the offer submitted was less <br />than the $218,000 that the Ramsey County property records show as the <br />estimated market value. <br />McGraw asked if everything the applicant wants to do will fit on this lot. <br />The Associate Planner stated that it is too early for the applicant to have a <br />site plan done, so no review has been done. <br />Fischer stated that the offer price is concerning and he would not agree to <br />several of the terms in the offer. Montour agreed that the offer amount is a <br />concern. Torkelson agreed that he also would not support the offered price, <br />but he stated that the dental clinic's type of business plan could be a needed <br />service for Little Canada residents. <br />Dr. Shrirang Mahajan stated that he is proposing to build a dental office <br />building that would be about 4,000 square feet and primarily serve lower <br />income populations. He explained that about 10 jobs would be created and <br />they would serve about 30 patients per day. He stated that his offer was <br />based on comparable properties in the area. Dr. Mahajan stated that he <br />would be open to a counteroffer. <br />Keis stated that the price is concerning by all of the Council and they are far <br />away from being ready to accept an offer. He noted that the purchase <br />agreement has not been reviewed by the City Attorney, so Dr. Mahajan <br />should not hold out for this site right now. <br />Keis introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOL UTION NO. 2018-6-134 — ACCEPT THE ADDITIONAL <br />MATERIALS SUBMITTED BY DR. SHRIRANG MAHAJAN <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Montour. <br />Ayes (5). <br />Nays (0). Resolution adopted. <br />PURCHASE The City Clerk stated that the Cable TV Producer is requesting to purchase a <br />CAMCORDER new camcorder and accessory package since the City's camera was <br />purchased in approximately 2005 and has not been operational since 2013. <br />She explained that due to the recent changes at CTV North Suburbs, the <br />logistics for using their equipment has gotten difficult for our Producer, and <br />their equipment receives heavy usage and the wear and tear is showing. The <br />City Clerk stated that the Producer has done research on equipment and <br />pricing, and has proposed a package with a camera and the accessories for a <br />5 <br />
