GUSTAFSON AGREEMENT
The HRA Coordinator noted because of the three year lease agreement which the
present tenant had with the City a tax issue was created which had not been
addressed in the original agreement. He stated at this time there is a property
10 -5 -87 -1-
tax owed of approximately' $14,000. He noted an additional $7,000 will be added
on the 15th of October. He noted under the present agreement it is questionable
whether Mr. Gustafson is liable for this amount. He stated if the Economic
Development Authority' were to pay this tax, approximately half of it would come
back to the City. He noted Mr. Gustafson is willing to sign a termination
agreement on the lease and be out of the house by October 12, 1987. He stated
staff is recommending the Economic Development Authority pay the approximately
$14,000 and sign a termination agreement with Mr. Gustafson. He added that if
Mr. Gustafson is not out of the house by the 15th of October, the agreement is
void. Commissioner Theis stated he would be happy to see a clear title on the
property, but he is not pleased with the idea of paying taxes. He added that he
sees no way around it though.
There was a motion by Commissioner Theis and seconded by Commissioner Scott
authorizing payment of approximately $14,000 in taxes to Hennepin County and
directing staff to execute a termination agreement for lease of the house on the
Earle Brown Farm. The motion passed unanimously.
