Mounds View City Council January 8, 2007 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br /> <br /> C. Resolution 6998, Resolution of Support for Sale of Fire Station 3, Located at 1 <br /> 1314 109th Avenue NE in Blaine 2 <br /> 3 <br />Fire Chief Zikmund appeared before Council and asked for authorization to sell Old Fire Station 4 <br />3 noting the appraisal price was $162,000 and there is a purchase agreement of $184,000 with the 5 <br />Church and this would allow the City of Blaine to move forward with this purchase. He then 6 <br />explained that Blaine will remove the building from the site, restore the site, and restore the curb 7 <br />line. He further explained that the management team envisioned and recommended that the 8 <br />proceeds of the sale would be used to finish the new station but it looks like that project will be 9 <br />at or under budget so Staff recommends the proceeds be placed in the Capital Improvement 10 <br />Fund. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Chief Zikmund noted this would also establish the sale price of Fire Station 5 that Blaine wants 13 <br />to retain and the City will receive its prorated share of the proceeds for that sale. 14 <br /> 15 <br />Council Member Flaherty asked when payments for capital budgets are made. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Finance Director Beer indicated that they are generally made January 1 but a vehicle is ordered 18 <br />and payment is not due until later this year so the payment has not yet been made. 19 <br /> 20 <br />Council Member Flaherty asked if the City’s share of the sale proceeds is something that interest 21 <br />could be made on rather than having it go right to capital budgets. 22 <br /> 23 <br />Finance Director Beer indicated that the money will be invested for future capital improvements. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Mayor M arty asked about the junk yard fire asking if it was reimbursable from insurance. 26 <br /> 27 <br />Fire Chief Zikmund indicated that there were issues with the owner and he did not have 28 <br />insurance but usually the property owner would be billed. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Council Member Mueller asked whether buildings are burned for practice. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Fire Chief Zikmund indicated that is done when conditions allow it. 33 <br /> 34 <br />MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull.
