RE: City Hall Annex
Dear Mr. Zuleger:
As we have discussed, the City of Lake Elmo currently has on its property a structure known as
the City Hall Annex. This structure is not currently utilized by the City and we understand the
City desires to remove it from the property.
Washington County Public Works is currently developing plans to refurbish and expand its
Public Works Operations and Offices, currently located at 11660 Myeron Road North in
Stillwater Township. This work will take approximately two years to complete and during that
time, the County needs to provide an alternative office and meeting space for its truck drivers
and mechanics. The City Hall Annex structure would provide an adequate space for this
purpose.
The County makes this formal offer to the City for the structure known as the City Hall Annex:
• The City of Lake Elmo provides the structure known as the City Hall Annex to the County
in as-is condition — at no cost to the County.
• The County arranges to have the structure known as the City Hall Annex moved off City
property, and onto County property located at 11660 Myeron Road North in Stillwater
Township.
• The County arranges for removal and/or disconnection of all services and utilities to the
structure, including power, sewer, water, communication, etc.
• The County agrees to cover all costs associated with the removal and/or disconnection
of all services and utilities and to move the structure.
• The County agrees to grade, provide and grade topsoil, and seed the structure pad site
to City approved grades.
This offer is conditioned upon a review by a qualified building mover, to determine if the building
is in fact structurally sound enough to move. The County would pay for that analysis and is
currently arranging for that to occur.
Based on an email sent by Assistant City Administrator Adam Bell, the County will prepare an
agreement per the terms above for consideration and approval by the City and County. If you
have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at any time.
/Sincerely,
Wayne Sandberg, P.E.
