RESOLUTION NO. 2001-120
RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO PROCEED WITH A LAND EXCHANGE WITH
INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 286
WHEREAS, Independent School District No. 286 has requested that the City of
Brooklyn Center favorably consider an exchange of land between the City and Independent
School No. 286 involving a portion of the current Grandview Park property and the current Earle
Brown Elementary School site; and
WHEREAS, this request would be for the purpose of allowing District 286 to
construct a new elementary school; and
WHEREAS, Independent School District No. 286 would necessarily have to
conduct a bond referendum election on the proposed project, which would provide citizen
control over the final determination as to whether the project should go forward; and
WHEREAS, it appears that a unified site plan for new elementary school and
reconfigured Grandview Park would result in a net benefit to the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center, Minnesota that it indicates its intent to favorably consider a formal process to
exchange land between the City and Independent School No. 286 for the construction of a new
elementary school and a unified site plan for such school and the City's Grandview Park
provided that:
1. The voters in Independent School District No. 286 approve a bond issue
based on such exchange and construction of a new elementary school; and
2. The terms and conditions of such exchange of property results in a unified
site plan that is beneficial to the community; and
3. It results in no expense to the City of Brooklyn Center for recreating or
relocating existing improvements at Grandview Park except in so far as
the City would be responsible for additions or enhancements that are
currently planned or may be planned in the future for the Grandview Park
destination plan.
