Adopt Ordinance #19-07 Authorizing the City of Ramsey to Sell one (1) Parcel of Real Property
 

As required by the City Charter, the City of Ramsey must pass an ordinance to declare and sell surplus city-owned land no longer needed for current or future city functions. The purpose of this case is to adopt such an ordinance. The total number of parcels identified within this ordinance is One (1).  See attached site map. 

The City has listed the north 9.3 acres of Lot 1, Block 1, Bury and Carlson Addition for industrial development per direction by the City Council and EDA.   This 9.3 acres has been identified as surplus city owned property.  The remainder of Lot 1, Block 1, Bury and Carlson Addition (approximately 10.08 acres) will be retained for the future Public Works Facility. Staff is working with an Anderson Dahlen, an existing Ramsey business to develop the 9.3 acre site. This ordinance does not approve the sale, or require the sale, of city-owned land. This ordinance simply allows the city to sell city-owned land. Individual land transactions will be reviewed and approved on a case-by-case basis, in the future, depending on the merits of individual proposals.

After adoption, a notification of this ordinance will be posted in the Union Herald.

This is a standard process in the sale of developable land. The City Council previously passed an ordinance(s) for other City-Owned Parcels being marketed for sale. However, due to layers of uncertainty, this parcel was intentionally not included. That uncertainty has now been removed, and the sale process can move forward.

This case is being handled as normal Staff duties.

Staff recommends that City Council adopt Ordinance #19-07.

Motion to adopt Ordinance #19-07, Authorizing the City of Ramsey to Sell One (1) Parcel of Real Property no longer needed for current or future City functions.
