Resolution No. 2021-22 Convey Tax Forfeit Property
Resolution No. 2021-22
Requesting Conveyance of Tax Forfeit Property to the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority In and For the City of Fridley
Whereas, the City of Fridley seeks unrestricted ownership of one parcel forfeited to the State of
Minnesota by Anoka County Board of Commissioners Resolution No. 2020-139 due to unpaid taxes
legally described as follows:
Lot 7, Block 18, Fridley Park, Subject to Easement of Record
PIN 15-30-24-44-0014
Hereinafter referred to as the “Subject Parcel”
Whereas, the City requests that the Anoka County Board of Commissioners sell the Subject Parcel
to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Fridley; and
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 the
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 Parcel has become blighted and has a negative impact on the surrounding
neighborhood; and
Whereas, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Fridley intends to
eliminate blighting conditions and facilitate redevelopment of the Subject Property.
Now, therefore be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley formally requests the
Anoka County Board of Commissioners resolve to convey the Subject Parel with an unrestricted
deed to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Fridley at a reduced
price to provide an incentive to correct blight.
nd
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Fridley this 22 day of March, 2021.
