AGENDA ITEM 8 <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Brian Wessel <br />DATE: 11/13/95 <br />TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No. 95-15 amending Resolution No. <br />95-11, authorizing the EDA to enter into a purchase agreement with Anoka <br />County <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On September 11, 1995 the EDA authorized staff and the city attorney to enter <br />into a purchase agreement with Anoka County for the purchase of 6508 <br />Hodgson Road. The resolution included beginning legal proceedings to register <br />title to the city. Because this property was seized by the county under drug <br />forfeiture laws, the proceeds of a sale are divided among numerous public <br />agencies. EDA members concluded since other agencies would benefit from the <br />sale, the resolution should be amended to state that legal costs for these <br />proceedings be prorated among benefiting agencies. <br />The city attorney has since advised us that this will not be possible. The <br />benefiting agencies are under a joint powers agreement, to which Lino Lakes <br />does not belong. The county will not agree to the sale unless Lino Lakes is <br />willing to pay the cost of registering title. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Adopt Resolution No. 95-15 which removes reference to prorating legal costs <br />among benefiting agencies. <br />2. Return to staff for further consideration <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option 1 <br />
