Background: The City has received notification from Anoka County Property Records and Taxation of two (2) parcels in tax forfeit. State Statutes requires that the governing body of a municipality must approve the classification and sale of forfeit parcels that lie within their jurisdiction. The City is also offered the first right to acquire the tax forfeit properties. Upon staff review, it appears one (1) of the parcels could be acquired for public purpose, and one (1) would serve no public purpose and should therefore be classified as tax forfeit and offered for sale. For Council's information,the following is included with this report: Policy for the Acquisition of City Owned Land, Minnesota State Statute related to conveyance of tax forfeit land to public entities, and GIS images of the two tax forfeit parcels. Observations/Alternatives: Attached to this case are GIS image of each tax forfeit parcel. . 25-32-25-24-0057 OUTLOT A AMBER RIDGE 2ND ADDITION Upon review, staff has determined this parcel could be acquired for additional Right -of -Way for trail purposes.
