The Administrator recommended <br />approval of the agreement subject to the City Attorney's review and <br />comment and any modifications requested by the property owner that both <br />he and the City Attorney would agree to. <br />Keis pointed out that once the land trades are finalized and Viking Drive is <br />realigned, the City will be left with a marketable piece of property that can <br />be sold to recoup some of the dollars spent. The City Administrator <br />indicated that an approximately 14,000 square foot site will be left. The <br />Administrator also noted that part of the cost for the Viking Drive <br />realignment will come from the County, MSA Funds, as well as grant <br />money. <br />Ms. Allan introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2007-1-25 -APPROVING THE PURCHASE <br />AGREEMENT FOR 85 VIKING DRIVE SUBJECT TO ANY <br />CHANGES MADE BY THE CITYATTORNEY, AND SUBJECT TO <br />CHANGES SUGGESTED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER THAT ARE <br />AGREEABLE TO THE CITYATTORNEYAND CITY <br />ADMINISTRATOR, AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY <br />ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT ON BEHALF <br />OF THE CITY <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by McGraw. <br />Ayes (5). <br />Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br />WORKERS The City Administrator reviewed a report from the League of Minnesota <br />COMP FOR Cities Insurance Trust relative to workers' compensation coverage. He <br />COUNCIL noted that currently the City Council is covered under an accident policy, <br />MEMBERS rather than under Workers' Compensation because at one time the cost to <br />cover the Council under Workers' Comp was substantially higher. The <br />League of Minnesota Cities has lowered the Workers' Comp cost making <br />it just slightly more than the accident coverage. Therefore, the <br />Administrator recommended that the accident policy not be renewed, and <br />that the Mayor and Council Members be covered under Workers <br />Compensation. The Administrator indicated that he will be doing <br />additional analysis of the cost/benefit to covering volunteers and <br />commission members under Workers' Comp/accident policies. <br />Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2007-I-26 -DISCONTINUING THE ACCIDENT <br />POLICY FOR THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS AND <br />
