Nov. 214, 1987 <br /> <br />City Council Meeting Minutes <br />November 24, 987 <br />Attachment B <br /> <br />Mayor Gary Reimann <br />Counci[lmember A1 Sorteberg <br />Counci~me~nber Steve DeLuca <br />Coundi~member Arnie Cox <br />Counciimember A1 Pearson <br />City o? Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd.i~.:NW <br />R'ams ey!, Mn. 55303 <br /> <br />Dear M~yor and Councilmembers: <br /> <br />There' Seems to be some misconception by Mayor Reimann as to <br />what P[ice I said we would accept for the land the city <br />wants to acquire for the MSA road south of highway 10. <br />This io¢cur.red when the Elofsons, my wife and myself stopped <br />to seelhim to try and resolve this issue. <br /> <br /> The p,~rpose of this letter is to Clarify~ our position on <br />this. !What I said was t~at we felt the market v&lue of this <br />land %~s worth the $1.15 per square foot~that the Elofsons <br />had a ~revious purchase agreement for. I also said I did not <br />think We should have to take less than this fair market value,: <br />but I, ~ever said we wouldn't be willinq to neg'otiate with the <br />c~ty .oR a' d~ff~rent value that we could both agree on. <br /> <br />I hop.e~this letter lays to rest once and for all the state- <br />ment h~ keeps making- that I said we would not accept less <br />than ?%ft-Y thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per acre. I apologize <br />if I dSd not make myself clear to him on this point. We have <br />always[said that we would be willing to negotiate with the <br />city for a realistic price for this land, but -they have never <br />done so. <br /> <br />Sincez~ly; <br /> <br />Winslow Holasek <br /> <br />cc: City Administrator, David Hartley <br /> Cigy Attorney, William Goodrich <br /> City Engineer, Peter Raatikka <br /> <br /> <br />
