PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED SALE OF EDA OWNED PROPERTY AT 6601
BRYANT AVENUE NORTH
The Community Development Specialist reminded the EDA it had previously accepted an
offer on the lot at 6601 Bryant Avenue North and a public hearing remained open.
The Community Development Specialist reviewed the documents and the process expected
to lead to the completion of the sale. Initially, there will be a purchase agreement with a
contingency provision which allows 90 days (until October 6, 1994) for the buyer to sell his
current Brooklyn Center home. He noted the EDA cannot accept any other offers on the
property during the 90 -day period. If the buyer does follow through on the agreement, the
assumed closing date would be December 6, 1994. At that time, a Contract For Deed would
be issued. At closing, the abstract would be updated. The Contract For Deed would
provide for a downpayment of $500 to be followed by the balance of $23,500 30 days after
closing. The addendum of the Contract For Deed allows for a full construction season for
the house to be built, so the assumed date of completion would be September 27, 1995. At
that time, final payment of the lot will be due. He commented insurance to cover the EDA
during construction is built into the agreement. Also, the City would receive a copy of the
building plans for the record.
The Community Development Specialist noted the buyer, Sheldon Wright, is present at
tonight's meeting.
President Paulson opened the meeting for the purpose of a public hearing on proposed sale
of EDA owned property at 6601 Bryant Avenue North at 7:27 p.m. He inquired if there was
anyone present who wished to address the EDA. There were none.

RESOLUTIONS CONTINUED
The City Manager presented a Resolution Approving One (1) Brooklyn Center Economic
Development Authority Grant (File No. H -121 [8047]).
Commissioner Scott thanked the Community Development Specialist for the modification
made to the presentation, which provides more information than the previous format.
President Paulson noted the Table of Contents on the application provides a space for the
dollar amounts. This space would be helpful to figure a running total of expenses; however,
the space is not filled in. The Community Development Specialist said those amounts are
entered after the bid amounts are received from the contractors. He said it is difficult for
the inspectors to estimate the amounts but he would study the issue and report back to the
EDA. He went on to say perhaps generic costs could be obtained for standard items.
President Paulson said generic costs would be helpful; it would allow the EDA to ascertain
if priorities are being met. He also mentioned a comparison of exterior work to interior
work would be a benefit.
The Community Development Specialist commented the homes being considered for grants
at this time have adequate exteriors.
Commissioner Scott stated she had meant she appreciated the breakdown into electrical, etc.
The Community Development Specialist suggested there could be a breakdown between
interior and exterior work.
President Paulson agreed that would be a desirable addition.
