This property has been vacant for over 90 days and has been listed for <br />sale by HUD. Mr. Jankowski explained that for that reason, the City can purchase this <br />property as a "protective buy" since the property is needed for this public improvement <br />project. He presented a sales contract which was prepared by HUD for the purchase of <br />the property in the amount of $73,800. This price represents a 10% discount on the <br />appraised value of the property. He noted that the appraisal was commissioned by HUD. <br /> <br />City Attorney Goodrich reported that he has gotten the tax statement on this property and <br />Anoka County has this property appraised at $76,400. He added that the purchase <br />agreement is adequate and binding. <br /> <br />City Council/September 8, 1998 <br /> Page 6 of 11 <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />i <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
