BRIGGS AND MORGAN II. SUMMARY OF THE THREE DOCUMENTS The Unattributed Memorandum. It appears the author of the Unattributed Memorandum did not have access to either the April, 2010 Purchase of Services Agreement or the March, 2011 Purchase of Services Agreement between the HRA and Landform and who also did not have knowledge of the actions Landform actually undertook pursuant to those Agreements. The Unattributed Memorandum assumes that Landform and/or Mr. Lazan performed services for the HRA which included services for which a real estate broker's license would be required under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 82. The "Law and Discussion" Section of the Unattributed Memorandum cites and discusses the relevant Statutes and case law that define when a real estate broker's license is required under Minnesota law; cites Minnesota Statutes Section 82.85 for the proposition that "No person shall bring or maintain any action in the courts of this state for the collection of compensation for the performance of any of the acts for which a license is required under this chapter [Chapter 82] without alleging and proving that the person was a duly licensed real estate broker, sales person, • or closing agent at the time the alleged cause of action arose." And, in the "carryover" portion of the memorandum, accurately cites Minnesota Statutes Section 82.83 for the proposition that any person who violates any provisions of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 82 is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. We have not checked each of the case citations in this Section, but I generally agree with the Unattributed Memorandum's statement of the law. I do not, however, agree with all of its conclusions. The Unattributed Memorandum concludes that the Purchase and Services Agreements between the HRA and Landform are unenforceable and Landform is not entitled to compensation for any of its services provided pursuant to the Agreements. As discussed with respect to the Huberty Memorandum and the Shainess letter below, this conclusion appears to be overly broad. The Purchase and Services Agreements contemplate Landform providing numerous different services to the HRA. Only some of these services are services for which a real estate broker's license is required under Minnesota Statute Chapter 82. Based on the express language of Minnesota Statutes Section 82.85, it would appear that Landform may not have access to Minnesota courts to collect compensation due under the Purchase and Services Agreements for the performance of any of the acts for which a real estate broker's license is required, but the author of the Unattributed Memorandum does not offer any support for the conclusion that Landform cannot enforce the contract and collect compensation for the other Landform services provided. The Unattributed Memorandum closes with a very brief discussion of " ... whether the City of RamseyI should pay it [the compensation contemplated in the Purchase and Services The Unattributed Memorandum and the Huberty Memorandum make various references to the City of Ramsey which appear to be based upon the author's failure to recognize that the City of Ramsey and the Housing and 2 5240409v3
