He stated this hearing served a good purpose and alerts the residents in the area of someone that needs to be watched; it gives the Police Department eyes and ears to keep track of these people. Case #15B: Authorize Sale of City Owned Property to GM Land Company, Inc. City Attorney Goodrich reviewed that the City has approved the sale of certain City owned property surrounding the existing City Hall to GM Land Company for residential development and which property is being platted as Meadow. This is all pursuant to the terms of a Real Estate Exchange Agreement whereby the City is exchanging its property for land south of the existing City Hall campus. A sale ordinance is necessary for the sale of the City property. The Exchange Agreement has not been finalized; however, it is close, pending resolution of certain land title issues. Staff would like to have the sale ordinance introduced in order to proceed with its final adoption when the plat has been recorded, and the platted lots can then be used for the legal descriptions. Councilmember Elvig questioned how temporary the easements will be. City Attorney Goodrich replied the easements will be in place until they are released by the City. Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Pearson, to introduce a Sale Ordinance for the sale of following legally described property: Outlot A Lots 6 - 20, 22 and 23, Block I Lots 2 - 6, Block 2 Lots I - 9, Block 3 Lot I, Block 5 All in the duly recorded plat of MEADOW, Anoka County, Minnesota Motion carried.
