EDA Member Stoltz absent. 72 <br /> 73 <br />Ms. Divine summarized the Staff report, indicating Staff recommends approval. 74 <br /> 75 <br />EDA Member Bergeson asked if the action of the EDA was positive, the item would come to the City 76 <br />Council for approval. Ms. Divine explained that the City Attorney advised the property was 77 <br />purchased by the EDA, so it is being sold by the EDA. It does not need to go to the City Council, but 78 <br />needs to be approved by resolution by the EDA. 79 <br /> 80 <br />EDA Member Carlson asked what other property in the city the EDA owns. Ms. Divine indicated she 81 <br />is not aware of any other property, nor is she sure why the EDA bought this parcel, except that it was 82 <br />a tax forfeiture at the time and the City Attorney must have advised Staff to purchase it through the 83 <br />EDA. EDA Member Carlson stated she spoke with Mr. Grochala about this property earlier today, 84 <br />and then became concerned there may be other parcels in this same scenario. 85 <br /> 86 <br />EDA Member Dahl asked again why it would happen that the EDA owns the property rather than the 87 <br />City. Ms. Divine stated she does not know, and unfortunately the City Attorney is not in attendance 88 <br />to shed light on the subject. She indicated that she would guess that because it was Anoka County 89 <br />property, and because of the tax forfeiture issues that this was the best way to do it. 90
