PUBLIC INPUT •
No one appeared to address this item.
The City Manager advised this project is similar to past programs which allows for affordable
housing to be constructed which meets current Code and fits the character of the lot and
neighborhood. He noted this property is geared for first -time home buyers.
Commissioner Nichols asked if this will exclude buyers from outside the community. The City
Manager explained the agreement will specify the type of building to be constructed which will then
be sold on the open market. The City would sell the property to the developer who, after
construction of the home, would make the home available for sale. Commissioner Nichols noted
the option of first offering an option to purchase to surrounding property owners, but they would not
be first -time home owners.
The City Manager advised it is anticipated that if the Council chooses to move forward, another
pubic hearing would be held and agreement finalized with Mr. Bohanon, unless another proposal
comes forward.
Commissioner Carmody noted the property has been held by the City since 1991 with no other
proposals submitted.
The City Attorney advised the matter under consideration is to direct staff to discuss with the
proposed purchaser and come to an agreement. Then a public hearing would be scheduled on that ,
agreement, but not as a bidding process.
A motion by Commissioner Carmody and seconded by Commissioner Mann to close the public
hearing at 7:24 p.m. passed unanimously.
RESOLUTION NO. 96 -14
Commissioner Kathleen Carmody introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption:

MEMORANDUM
To: Michael J. McCauley, City Manager ;
From: Tom Bublitz, Community Development Specialist , /
Subject: Resolution Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for Structure Demolition at
6550 West River Road (Premier Mechanical Building)
Date: May 8, 1996
Bids were received for the demolition of the EDA -owned property located at
6550 West River Road (Premier Mechanical building) on May 7, 1996. Bids
were received from seven demolition contractors. The low bid was submitted by
K. A. Stark Excavating, Inc., in the amount of $10,550. However, K. A. Stark
Excavating did not submit the proper bid security with the bid and staff is
recommending the EDA accept the second lowest bid which was submitted by
Carl Bolander and Sons Company in the amount of $10,890, which is $340 more
than the low bid submitted by K. A. Stark Excavating, Inc.
Staff believes the bids received on this demolition were very competitive bids,
and recommends the EDA Board accept the bid from Carl Bolander and Sons
Company and authorize the EDA President and Executive Director to execute a
contract for the demolition.
Commissioner introduced the following resolution and
moved its adoption:
EDA RESOLUTION NO.

WHEREAS, K. A. Stark Excavating, Inc., submitted the lowest bid for structure

Authority in and for the City of Brooklyn Center that:

$15,000, which is in the market value range established by the City Assessor's

Date: May 8, 1996
Subject: Resolution Authorizing Acquisition of Certain Real Property Within the City of
Brooklyn Center Located at 718 - 53rd Avenue North, and Authorizing Execution of
Purchase Agreement and Payment for Acquisition Costs of Said Property
At the April 29, 1996, Council work session, the City Council expressed an interest in
focusing on acquisition of properties for redevelopment along 53rd Avenue North in
Brooklyn Center. The single - family property located at 718 - 53rd Avenue North
recently went on the market, and staff believes it provides an opportunity to make an
acquisition from a willing seller on a voluntary basis.
Since this is a voluntary acquisition, staff is recommending the EDA authorize
acquisition of the property at the seller's asking price of $58,900. The current
assessed value of the property is $51,600.
The property is listed with a real estate broker and the broker commission will be paid
out of the sale proceeds and will not be an additional cost of the acquisition.
Staff is recommending the funding for this acquisition come from the EDA
redevelopment budget.
A purchase agreement has been prepared for this acquisition and has been approved
and signed by the seller. A copy of the purchase agreement is attached to this
memorandum.
