<br />Item No: 8B <br />Meeting Date: April 27, 2009 <br />Type of Business: Consent <br />Administrator Review : ___ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: James Ericson, Clerk - Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7443 Recommending to the Ramsey County <br />Board of Commissioners Approval of the Repurchase <br />Application Submitted for 2220 Lambert Avenue <br /> <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />The former owners of 2220 Lambert Avenue have filed an application with Ramsey County <br />to repurchase their property what was forfeited for failure to pay property taxes. <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The County’s policy regarding the consideration of such repurchase applications includes a <br />provision that asks the municipality to review the request and offer a recommendation back <br />to the Board of Commissioners. The municipality shall consider in its recommendation <br />whether the property is considered a “municipal problem” based on documented nuisance, <br />building or housing code violations or documented police activity. <br /> <br />There are no police issues or problems with the property from a public safety standpoint <br />that would warrant a negative recommendation. Aside from a couple minor code violations <br />which have since been corrected, it is the opinion of the City’s Code Enforcement / <br />Housing Inspector that there is no reason to oppose the request. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends Council approval of Resolution 7443, a resolution recommending to the <br />Ramsey County Board of Commissioners approval of the repurchase application submitted <br />for 2220 Lambert Avenue. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />Clerk - Administrator
