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 143rd. <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 />
