Pursuant to statute, these <br />properties have been reviewed by Ramsey County to determine their classification as either <br />conservation or non - conservation lands. <br />Minnesota Statutes section 282.01, subd. 1, requires the county to notify each city or township <br />in which such properties are located of both the forfeitures and classification. This letter and list <br />serves as that notice of forfeiture and a notice that the lands have been classified by Ramsey <br />County as non - conservation. <br />The statute further provides that each city has 60 days from the date of this letter to approve or <br />disapprove the classification and sale of the parcels, to request a conveyance of land(s) to your <br />city for an authorized public use or to request that any of the properties be withheld from public <br />sale for a period not to exceed six months. <br />Please note that a municipality or governmental subdivision shall pay maintenance costs <br />incurred by the county during the six -month period while the property is withheld from <br />public sale, provided the property is not offered for public sale after the six -month <br />period. <br />If you request any of the parcels be conveyed to your municipality for an authorized public use <br />the above statutory timeline must be strictly observed. Within 60 days of this notice of <br />classification and availability of newly forfeited properties, the governmental unit may submit an <br />application for a public use deed using Form 962, Application by a Governmental Subdivision <br />for Conveyance of Tax - Forfeited Land. Forms are available upon request from this office. The <br />application for a use deed is not complete and timely if it is not accompanied by a certified <br />resolution of the governing body stating the public purpose for which the property will be used. <br />5P 1 i. 187 <br />Minnesota's First Home Rule County <br />punted on recycled paper with a minimvhn of Ip% post consunmr content <br />
