Re: Tax forfeit land in the Village of Lino Lakes TEL. 421-5151 AREA CODE 612' I enclose 2 copies of drawings that I have made relative to the properties that are available on tax forfeiture in the Village of Lino Lakes. You requested that I obtain this information in your letter of September 8, 1967. Unfortunately, the inform- ation was not available until October 24, 1967, when the tax forfeiture list was made up, and, on that date, or shortly thereafter, the list should have been mailed to you, for approval by the village council of the Village of Lino Lakes. The parcels that are available on tax forfeiture are the E2 of Lots 9 and 10, Block 6, Lexington Park Lake View and Lot 12, Block 8, Lexington Park Lake View. The two enclosed drawings represent the properties that are available. As to the E2 of Lots 9 and 10, the County Board has placed a value thereon of $150 and as to Lot 12, a value of $50 has been placed. There are special assessments due against all of the parcels; $6.43 due against the E2 of Lot 9, $25.72 due against the E2 of Lot 10, and $25.72 due against Lot 12. These special assessments are for Street Improvement No. 1. This money is owing to the Village of Lino Lakes, and there is also interest thereon which would have to be collected at the time of sale, in addition to the special assessment amounts. 401111. Norman G. Miller -2- November 2, 1967 Former owners of the E2 of Lots 9 and 10, Block 6 were James E. and Ruth Pierce, and the owner of Lot 12, Block 8, was Suburban Properties Inc. The names listed are the owners prior to the tax forfeiture to the State of Minnesota. If the village council is interested in either of these parcels, for village purposes, the matter should be brought to the attention of the County Board as soon as possible, otherwise the same will be sold at the next tax forfeiture sale. You must certify to the County Auditor when you return the forms that were mailed by the Auditor to you, of the fact that there are special assessments outstanding and the amounts thereof, although they are listed in the Auditor's office. It is indeed possible that there may be other parcels of property that have tax delinquencies on them, in the Village of Lino Lakes. However, the delinquencies are not to the point where the properties have gone forfeit to the State of Minnesota. The only way that an exact check can be made would be to go through the Auditor's Books, page by page, for all of the lands within the Village of Lino Lakes. This would be a tremendous task and then there would be no guarantee that the property could be purchased as the owners do have a right to pay the delinquent taxes and to have the title cleared on the property. In the event that the village determines to purchase the parcels that have been forfeited to the State of Minnesota, then there must be a state deed issued from the State of Minnesota, and the title on the property would be unmarket- able due to the tax forfeiture. However, as the lands would be used for village purposes, it would probably be unnecessary to clear the title by a costly Quiet Title Action or a Torrens Proceeding unless the council felt that there was some irregu- larity in the tax forfeiture procedure. I would suggest that you bring this matter up at the council meeting of November 13, 1967.

To those of you that have special assessments against these properties described, and because of the large amount of specials against some of these properties, and in order to help the County get these properties back on the tax rolls and your municipality recover the specials, it is suggested that your council would by resolution instruct the County Auditor to withdraw all of the special assessments against these properties.You could then pass a resolution wherein you would recertify the special assessments to be placed against these properties on a basis agreeable to the purchaser and municipality. In selling these properties at public auction it would then be the obligation of the County to state the amount of the special assessments against each property, and that the municipality would negotiate with the purchaser for the payment of these specials on an agreeable repayment schedule by the municipality and pur- chaser. In explanation of the year that you should check your specials, it is the year in the column marked"Tax year upon which forfeiture is based" which is the beginning year of the tax judgment, so that your specials should be figured as of this year and any subsequent years. This total amount should be entered against the described property. We do want to hold a forfeit sale this fall, and would appreciate it very much if your council could take action just as soon as possible. Each Board member must sign the original and return it to the Auditor's office as soon as possible. T Kenneth W. C'ampbell Anoka County Auditor
