AGENDA ITEM 613 <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 />
