MSP (Hodges- Baumgartner) to set hearing on September 8, 1975 at 8:30 p.m. Mayor Johnson directed the Administrator to write a letter to the trailer court informing them of the hearing. MSP (Pickar- Hodges) to direct the engineer to prepare a feasibility report and estimated cost study. Administrator Achen reviewed the proposed purchase of Random property for park use (located at the NE corner of Ridge Lane and Long Lake Road). Random agreed to deed three lots to the City. There are back taxes owning. The City has the option of accepting the deed and holding it until the land becomes tax forfeited and then going under State statute and acquire the land for city park and take tax title at that time. Attorney Meyers said under current law we have first claim to it provided the law doesn't change. It is a calculated risk. He said the City could 1) pay back taxes, abate assessments and other arrangement made at the bond redemption, 2) sit tight for two or three years and make a motion to accept the deed and assessment money. Councilmen Baumgartner said the Park and Recreation Commission has been thinking along the same lines and would like to just sit on it. He said they don't have funds to develop a park at this time. MSP (Baumgartner- Hodges) to defer action on dedication of Lots 5,6,7,8, Block 1, Random 1st Addition for the present time. Administrator Achen read a letter from Walijarvi concerning change orders for the city hall addition. Councilman Baumgartner asked what we are getting for $4,000.00. He asked how they intend to reinforce the foundation. Councilman Baumgartner said since the change order is to effect Twin City Testing recommendations it should be referenced Twin City Testing Data. Meeting was recessed at 9:55 p.m. Mayor Johnson called the meeting back to order at 10:30 p.m. 4 Ayes 4 Ayes 4 Ayes 4 Ayes 4 Ayes
