AGENDA ITEM 6B <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Mary Alice Divine <br />DATE: 11/27/06 <br />TOPIC: Second Reading of Ordinance 12-06, Reconveying <br />City owned land to the State of Minnesota <br />Vote Required: Simple Majority <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On August 9, 2004 the city requested that Anoka County withhold from sale a tax <br />forfeited parcel (see attached) so that the city could obtain the parcel for public <br />purposes. The city wanted to retain this parcel for a well, but did not use the <br />parcel for that purpose. <br />An abutting landowner has inquired about purchase of that parcel. In order to <br />make that property available for private purchase, the city must reconvey the <br />land back to the State of Minnesota. Once that is complete the County will notify <br />surrounding landowners and offer it at a private sale. <br />The city charter requires that disposal of any city property shall be done by <br />ordinance. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Approve the Second Reading of Ordinance 12-06 reconveying the parcel <br />back to the State of Minnesota <br />2. Do not approve the ordinance <br />3. Return to staff for further consideration <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option 1 <br />
