B. EDA to Conduct an Open Session regarding 2400 County Road H2
Concerning General Discussion Regarding Real Estate Transaction Issues;
Agreement Revisions; Closing Issues; Additional Agreements, If Necessary;
and General Discussion
Executive Director Ericson explained this item was continued from Monday, July 8, 2013 due to
the fact there was a hearing in Ramsey County District Court regarding the subject property on
Tuesday, July 9th. The original expiration date on the purchase agreement was July 15th, which
has been extended to July 31st. He requested the Authority approve a Resolution accepting this
change.
President Flaherty requested an update from City Attorney Riggs on the court hearing.
City Attorney Riggs believed the judge would rule on the matter quickly which would allow Staff
to report back to the EDA in a timely manner. He was pleased by the positive discussion that
took place in court. He explained he would have more information for the EDA after the ruling
was made. He reported the EDA and the pending purchase agreement have remained separate
from the lease issue.
MOTION/SECOND: Mueller/Hull. To Waive the Reading and Adopt Resolution 13-EDA-279.
