Nov. 24, 1987 <br /> <br />City Council ~.]eeting Minutes <br />November 24, /~87 <br />Attachment B <br /> <br />Mayor Gary Reimann <br />Councilmember A1 Sorteberg <br />Councilmember Steve DeLuca <br />Councilmember Arnie Cox <br />Councilmember A1 Pearson <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd.<NW <br />R~msey, Mn. 55303 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor"and Councilmembers: <br /> <br />There seems to be some misconception by Mayor Reimann as to <br />what price I said %ye would accept for the land the city <br />%~ants to acquire for the"'MSA road south of highway 10. <br />This occurred when the Elofsons, my wife and myself stopped <br />to see him to try and resolve this issue. <br /> <br /> The purpose of this letter is to clarify' our position on <br />this. What I said was that %~e felt the market value of this <br />land was worth the $1.15 per square foot~that %he Elofsons <br />had a previous 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 never said ~e %~ouldn't be ~illinq %o negotiate ~ith the <br />city on a different value that ~ze could both aqree on. <br /> <br />I hope this letter lays to rest once and for all the state- <br />ment he keeps making that I said we would not accept less <br />than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per acre. I apologize <br />if I did not make myself clear to him on this point. We have <br />allways said that ~e would be willing to negotiate ~¢ith the <br />city for a realistic price for this land, but they have never <br />done so. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Wins!ow Holasek <br /> <br />cc: City Administrator, Z;avid Hartley <br /> City Attorney, William Goodrich <br /> City Enuineer, Peter Raatikka <br /> <br /> <br />
