John Rask stated that Mr. Northrop would be willing to give the City 6,000 yds of dirt for the new City Hall site, and 1,000 yds of dirt to the Oneka Lake ditch project.

Motion Carried. PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR WILLIAMS'S HOUSE The City Attorney's office was provided the Abstract of Title for the Williams home at 14651 Fitzgerald Avenue. An initial review and title search of the abstract has raised some concern from the City Attorney whether there may be a time delay in obtaining clean title to the property. Legal title to the property has not been transferred to Violet and Earl Williams from Cecelia Steiner who passed away a number of years ago. As a precautionary measure, City Attorney Dave Snyder recommended that the Council authorize the City Attorney's office to exercise the use of eminent domain, if necessary, as a legal measure to obtain a clean title to the property. The City Attorney's office is cautiously optimistic that this measure may not be necessary, but due to the potential construction delays, recommended that the City Council authorize and approve the City Attorney to exercise the use of eminent domain state statues in order that the City move forward with closing on the purchase of the Williams home at 14651 Fitzgerald Avenue. Miron made motion, Haas seconded, authorizing City Attorney Dave Snyder to exercise the use of eminent domain, if necessary, in order that the City move forward with closing on the purchase of the Williams home at 14651 Fitzgerald Avenue. All aye. Motion Carried. MNDOT TRANSPORTATION FUNDING City Engineer Dave Mitchell recently received an email from the Minnesota Department of
