The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />633990v1MU205-49 <br /> <br />Item No: 08F <br />Meeting Date: January 27, 2020 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Scott J. Riggs, City Attorney <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9231, City of Mounds View Resolution Authorizing the <br />Conveyance of City of Mounds View Property to the Mounds View <br />Economic Development Authority <br /> <br />Introduction: <br />In conjunction with the redevelopment of the Skyline Motel property and the potential adjacent <br />redevelopment of two existing businesses, the City Council previously directed City staff and the <br />City attorney to undertake efforts to clearly establish ownership of a 30 foot excess right-of-way <br />area (the “Remnant Parcel”) adjacent to the Skyline Motel property. The City attorney’s office has <br />initiated efforts to obtain fee title to the Remnant Parcel. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />In pursuing title correction efforts related to the Remnant Parcel, it has been determined that it <br />would be beneficial for the City of Mounds View’s interest to be conveyed to the Mounds View <br />EDA for the overall redevelopment efforts of the Skyline Motel property and the adjacent potential <br />business developments. <br /> <br />The EDA, as owner of the adjacent Skyline Motel property, needs to bring a judicial action to quiet <br />title to the Remnant Parcel. Part of that action is based on a claim to title that relates to a <br />conveyance of the Remnant Parcel in 1953 to the Township of Mounds View. In order to simplify <br />and consolidate the claims and allow the quiet-title action to proceed with a single plaintiff, it is <br />best for the City to convey its interest in the Remnant Parcel to the EDA. <br /> <br />Attached is Resolution Number 9231 providing for the conveyance of the Remnant Parcel from <br />the City to the EDA pursuant to a quit claim deed, which is also attached. <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: <br />Promote economic development within the City of Mounds View. <br /> <br />Financial Impact: <br />None <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />The City attorney and City staff recommend that the City Council adopt Resolution 9231 providing <br />for the conveyance of the Remnant Parcel from the City to the EDA. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Scott J. Riggs <br /> <br />Attachment(s): <br />1. Resolution 9231 <br />2. Quit Claim Deed
