37
38 City Attorney Gilligan noted both resolutions on the agenda signified the same resolution;
39 therefore, the HRA only needed to vote on them once.
40
41 Mr. Gilligan explained the HRA received a request to authorize the acquisition of the CUB
42 parcel and certain related property interests under its power of eminent domain pursuant to the
43 terms of the Silver Lake Redevelopment Agreement. He noted, under Minnesota law, the HRA
44 needed to hold a public hearing before it could authorize that action. He indicated this action
5 was requested by the redeveloper in order for it to comply with the requirements of its Purchase
Agreement for the CUB parcel. He noted his memo of March 2, 2004, stated no action would be
taken by the HRA to commence a condemnation proceeding with respect to the CUB parcel
48 unless direction was given by the developer following the adoption of the resolution. He stated a

letter had been received earlier in the day asking the HRA to commence with the action;
therefore, a change needed to be made to the resolution to clarify that direction had been
received.
5 Mr. Gilligan indicated this action would hopefully only be a housekeeping matter, as he expected
6 the HRA would not have to proceed to acquire the property by eminent domain. He stated the
7 Purchase Agreement was entered into under threat of condemnation and it was requested the
8 HRA show evidence of that.
