The City Manager introduced a Resolution Authorizing Sale of Certain Property Pursuant
to Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.012, Subdivision 7, and Section 469.029. He indicated
the Resolution would authorize the advertisement for sale of the EDA owned property at

RESOLUTION NO. 92 -18
Commissioner Scott introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SALE OF CERTAIN PROPERTY PURSUANT TO
MINNESOTA STATUTES, SECTION 469.012, SUBDIVISION 7, AND SECTION 469.029
The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by
Commissioner Pedlar, and the motion passed unanimously.
The City Manager introduced a Resolution Approving One (1) Brooklyn Center Economic
Development Authority Grant (File No. H -103 [8029]).
Commissioner Scott asked when the last grant was approved for this property. She
questioned whether the items under consideration were maintenance items rather than work
necessary for Code compliance. The City Manager indicated the first grant was not
adequate to fix everything.
Commissioner Pedlar indicated he has no problem with doing additional work but was
concerned about maintenance failure and then approving grants to upgrade the property.
He suggested the matter be tabled so additional information can be provided regarding the
work included under the grant.
The City Manager reviewed the items which included replacing electric wiring and other
Code deficiencies. He suggested staff gather the requested information and then poll the
members to answer questions with the decision being confirmed at the next meeting.
There was a motion by Commissioner Cohen and seconded by Commissioner Pedlar to table
approval of a Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority Grant to June 8, 1992,
pending further staff research. The motion passed unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT
There was a motion by Commissioner Scott and seconded by Commissioner Pedlar to
