Case 09: Tax Forfeit Properties City Administrator Schroeder stated that every year, Anoka County gives notice to the City of Ramsey of tax forfeit properties. This year there are three such parcels. The first parcel is 12 acres which could be acquired for open space and drainage. The second parcel is 90 to 95% wet and could be acquired for open space and drainage. The third parcel is just east of Waco Stxeet N.W. and was intended to be deeded to the City but it was not recorded; it's a paved roadway.
