10 Minutes CASE $11: <br /> <br />PUBLIC WORKS SITE (RAUDIO PROPERTY) <br /> By: Pete Raatikka, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At the May 12, 1987 Council meeting, City Council directed City Staff and the <br />Road and Bridge Committee to research the possibility of trading 2-1/2 acres of <br />Industrial property at 149th Avenue NW and Ramsey Blvd. NW for the existing <br />Public Works site. The Road and Bridge Committee met on June 9, 1987 with Mr. <br />Art Raudio and reached the following conclusions: <br /> <br />a) The City should obtain approximately ten acres to meet future needs of <br /> the Public Works Department; <br />b) The existing Public Works site has approximately 0.67 acres and an <br /> estimated value of $50,000; <br /> c) Mr. Raudio has stated he will sell approximately ten acres to the City <br /> for $5,000 per acre with the agreement of obtaining part of the dirt <br /> off the site. <br /> <br />Mr. Raudio has indicated he would not trade his property based on the City's <br />estimated market value. He is willing to sell his property to the City and <br />accept the City's existing site as partial payment in the future. This would <br />allow the City to market their property at a higher value to the public. <br /> <br />Enclosed are maps showing four alternative sites the City could purchase. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />The Road and Bridge Committee will meet prior to the Council meeting and make <br />a recommendation at the meeting. Council action will be subject to the <br />recommendation of the Road and Bridge Committee. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />Administrator <br />Attorney <br />Engineer <br />Community Development Director <br /> <br />Chief of Police <br />Finance Officer <br />Public Works Superintendent <br />Other <br /> <br /> <br />
