describes the responsibilities of each party required to convey the northerly 1.5 acres of Outlot B Tooth Acres parcel, designated as "A" in Exhibit 1 of the MOA, from Anoka County to the City of Ramsey. Such responsibilities address costs for constructing and maintaining the various storm sewer improvements to allow the property to be conveyed and filled in, as well as required easements for storm sewer pipes, ponds, and trails. The attached MOA was approved by the Anoka County Board of Commissioners during their July 16 th Board meeting by roll call vote. The City Attorney also reviewed and approved the MOA as attached. Upon City Council approval, Anoka County will execute the MOA, after which the City and County will begin preparing the required legal documents required to convey the property by title to the City of Ramsey, and to secure the necessary trail and drainage and utility easements as outlined in the MOA. Once the City obtains title to the property, it may then be conveyed to the LLC's in support of section 6a of the MOU. City Council approval will be required for each of these items moving forward. Notification: No notifications are required for this case. Observations/Alternatives: Alternative #1 - Motion to adopt Resolution # 15-08-212 approving a Memorandum of Agreement between Anoka County and the City of Ramsey for Ramsey Town Center Public Works Improvements completed as part of the Riverdale Drive extension to Traprock Street, Improvement Project #12-22. Alternative #2 - Motion denying adoption of Resolution #15-08-212 at this time. Funding Source: As part of the extension of Riverdale Drive, the City of Ramsey funded the storm sewer improvements described within the MOA that will allow the 1.5 acre parcel on the north end of Outlot B Tooth Acres to be conveyed from Anoka County to the City of Ramsey. The City will be reimbursed for these costs in full by 2-01, LLC at the time that title is conveyed for the 1.5 acre parcel from the City to 2-01, LLC as per a separate development agreement that is being considered for approval by Council this evening. The MOA also requires the City to cooperate with the County as related to applying for and approving the required registered land survey to convey the 1.5 acre parcel. These fees are proposed to be waived, but the City will be required to pay the recording fees which are estimated to cost less than $200. Recommendation: Staff recommends adopting alternative #1. This alternative supports the terms and conditions of the previously adopted MOU. Staff does not support alternative #2. This alternative opposes the terms and conditions of the previously adopted MOU. Action: Motion approving or denying adoption of Resolution #15-08-212.
