Hereinafter referred to as the “Subject Parcels”
WHEREAS, the City requests Anoka County Board of Commissioners sell the Subject Parcels
to the City of Fridley; and
Resolution No. 2019 – 77 Page 2
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes Chapter 282.01, Subd. 1 a, paragraph (d), states, “tax-forfeited
lands may be sold by the county board to an organized or incorporated governmental subdivision of
the state or state agency for less than their market value if:
(1) The county board determines that a sale at a reduced price is in the public interest because of
reduced price is necessary to provide an incentive to correct the blighted conditions that
make the lands undesirable in the open market, or the reduced price will lead to the
development of affordable housing; and
(2) The governmental subdivision or state agency has documented its specific plans for
correcting the blighted conditions or developing affordable housing, and the specific law or
laws that empower it to acquire real property in furtherance of the plans; and
WHEREAS the Subject Parcels were considered blighted and deemed a public nuisance by the City
in 2013; and
WHEREAS in 2013, the City facilitated removal of the blighted buildings on the Subject Property,
with a signed assessment agreement from the property owner that stated the assessment will be
certified for 10 years; and
WHEREAS a portion of said assessment has been paid, however an unpaid special assessment still
remains on the Subject Property for the removal of the blighted buildings;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Fridley, Minnesota
formally requests the Anoka County Board of Commissioners resolve to convey the Subject Parcels
with an unrestricted deed to City of Fridley at no cost due to the special assessment that remains as
a result of the City’s facilitation of the blighted buildings in 2013 and in that it provides a
redevelopment of the Subject Parcels.
PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS
rd
23 DAY OF DECEMBER 2019.
