Council Member Bergeson moved its adoption: introduced the following Ordinance and ORDINANCE NO. 06-97 AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE SALE OF PROPERTY The City Council of the City of Lino Lakes hereby ordains as follows: Legislative Findings of Fact The City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota, has recently approved a Master Plan for the 75 -acre Village within the Lino Lakes Town Center on I-3 5 W/Hwy 49 in Lino Lakes. This Master Plan was developed to further the City's general plan of economic development within the community. The City has recently negotiated with a landowner to purchase a 13.6 -acre parcel within the Village. The City finds it to be in its best interest to complete this land contract to control the content, quality and pace of development within the Village. The City also has facilitated the location of a Fairview Hospital Clinic on a portion of the parcel it is acquiring. The schedule for construction of the clinic requires that the sale of the property to Fairview Hospital and Healthcare Services and the issuance of a building permit must transpire within the next 30 days. The location of the clinic in Lino Lakes is viewed by the City as an improvement to the health and welfare of its citizens as well as a critical component to the City's overall economic development plan. Under Section 12.05 of the Lino Lakes City Charter, no real property of the City shall be disposed of except by Ordinance. A City Ordinance requires two readings and a 60 -day waiting period before the Ordinance can be enacted. The City finds that reasonable measures must be taken to protect the public interest by enacting this Ordinance as an emergency Ordinance under Section 3.06 of the City Charter: I The real property legally described as Lot 1, Block 1, The Village No. 1 (the "Property") is to be owned by the City of Lino Lakes (the "City") upon closing on Monday, April 14, 1997.
