Councilmember Kuzma aye <br />Acting Mayor LeTourneau aye <br />Motion carried. <br />7.04: Consider Introducing Ordinance #18-02 Authorizing the City of Ramsey to Sell Five <br />(5) Parcels of Real Property <br />Asst. City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama reviewed the staff report and <br />recommendation to adopt Ordinance #18-02 authorizing the City to sell five parcels of real <br />property no longer needed for current or future City functions. <br />Councilmember Johns asked for additional information on the land that was being held for the <br />public works campus. <br />Asst. City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama stated that the City will only <br />need a portion of the parcel for the public works campus. He stated that he would list the entire <br />parcel for sale with the intent that the property would be spilt in the future, with the City <br />retaining the portion that it will need. He stated that by declaring property surplus and available <br />for sale, that does not require the City to list the property for sale. He explained that the City <br />must go through this process in order to list property for sale. <br />Councilmember Kuzma asked if staff will be bringing a request forward to split the property in <br />anticipation of the public works campus. <br />Asst. City Administrator/Economic Development Manager Brama stated that has been <br />contemplated but noted that until the project moves forward, the decision has been delayed to <br />split the property. He noted that project details sometimes change throughout the design process <br />and therefore perhaps the property line would be desired in another location. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that he would prefer to see the property split move forward to <br />secure that portion of land for the future public works campus. He noted that if the property <br />remains whole, the City may receive interest in the whole 20 acres of property and may be <br />inclined to sell the entire parcel. He noted that his preference would be to reserve the desired <br />parcel for the public works campus. <br />Councilmember Johns asked if it would be easier to remove the entire parcel and received <br />confirmation. <br />Motion by Councilmember Johns, seconded by Councilmember Kuzma, to introduce Ordinance <br />#18-02 authorizing the City of Ramsey to sell four (4) parcels of real property, amending the <br />proposed motion to remove the 20-acre parcel at Jasper and 143ra <br />Further discussion: Acting Mayor LeTourneau stated that the City went through a similar process <br />in the past, and those parcels were listed by a real estate firm. He asked if the City would go <br />through a similar process to determine a deal range for these properties. Asst. City <br />City Council / May 8, 2018 <br />Page 6 of 10 <br />
