Consider Approval of Resolution 01-EDA-150, a Resolution Approving and Authorizing the Expenditure of Tax Increment Funds for the Purchase of Blighted and Hazardous Property Located at 2091 Hillview Road. Community Development Director Ericson indicated that the property located at 2091 Hillview Road has been an issue for the City for a number of years. He then indicated that a previous Council had authorized the house as a hazardous building and recommended the building be razed. He then indicated that the property owners defaulted and the property was take over by HUD who attempted to sell the property. He further indicated that a previous Council had authorized that the City purchase the property from HUD and that he had attempted to do so but, due to unknown circumstances, none of the purchase agreements submitted to HUD were received by them. Community Development Director Ericson noted the property is for sale again and that he had contacted HUD and was told that if the City were to submit another purchase agreement it would not be lost. He further noted that the representative he had spoken to had indicated a price of approximately $80,000. Commissioner Thomas thanked Director Ericson for his work on the matter and noted that while she appreciated his forethought in asking for an amount not to exceed $100,000 she would prefer the purchase price of $80,000. MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 01- EDA-150, a Resolution Approving and Authorizing the Expenditure of TIF Funds for the Purchase of Blighted and Hazardous Property Located at 2091 Hillview Road. City Attorney Riggs clarified that the City has an outstanding order for abatement which is why individuals cannot get financing for the property. He then indicated the City could have razed the building but cannot assess the costs to do so to the federal government as owner. Community Development Director Ericson pointed out a typographical error in the Resolution Mounds View EDA June 11, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 3 for clarification. Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. B.
