City Administrator Ulrich clarified that the MOU indicates the landowner wants the land back that the City is getting from Anoka County, which is high -value commercial land along Highway 10. So, if the City does not get the payment, it would not transfer the land. Mayor Strommen stated there is a cost not anticipated at the time the MOU was signed and asked if an addendum could be drafted that they agree to the additional amount if the City conveys the property. City Attorney Langel stated staff will talk with them about preparing such a document and nothing needs to be added to the motion.
