Present: Commissioners Ruhmann, Zaun, Sindt, Mulvihill and Harvey. Also present: R. Knutson, City Attorney; B. Erickson, Executive Director; M. Sobota, Community & Economic Development Director; C. Friedges, City Clerk. I;,i 1ZRW4:�9 The minutes of the April 24, 1991, H.R.A. meeting were approved as presented. ITEK 3 Mr. Sobota presented, on behalf of Grist Mill, a request for condemnation of Lot 4, Block 4, Airlake First Addition. The condemnation is necessitated by the inability of Grist Mill to purchase the property (which is located immediately north of the Grist Mill property) from Airlake Management Group. Grist Mill has made an offer of more than twice the amount of the County Assessor's market value on the property, but negotiations have been unsuccessful. The Grist Mill needs this property for drainage and utility easements to accommodate expansion of their business. The City Council approved the relocation of these easements to the north at the request of Grist Mill, as they had anticipated closing on the purchase agreement at the time the relocation was requested. This remnant piece of property, Mr. Sobota explained, is of very little value to anyone else. City staff recommends, from an economic development standpoint, proceeding with the condemnation. Mr. Sobota explained that the City Attorney has drafted a resolution authorizing the condemnation of this property. Once the City Attorney gets permission from the court, and upon approval by the H.R.A., he can begin proceedings. The Grist Mill has indicated a willingness to reimburse the City for costs associated with the condemnation. 91.08 Motion was made by Harvey, seconded by Mulvihill to approve Resolution No. 91 -04 authorizing condemnation of Lot 4, Block 4, Airlake First Addition. Roll call was taken on the motion. Ayes, Zaun, Sindt, Mulvihill, Harvey, Ruhmann. There being no further business, Chair Sindt adjourned the meeting at 9:08 p.m. Respectfully submitted, f Lydelfte MulvihilT, Secretary Betty Oindt, Chair
