RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR CONVEYANCE OF
TAX FORFEITED LANDS FOR RIDEVELOPMENT PURPOSES
After receipt of notification of classification and proposed
sale of tax forfeit land by the County Land Commissioner and
application within 90 days of notification to the County Board by the
City Valuations and Engineering Division (Valuations) approved by the
City Council on behalf of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority to
withhold a tax forfeit parcel from sale for redevelopment purposes,
the County Board shall withhold said parcel from sale in accordance
with Minnesota Statutes Section 282 .01, Subdivision 1.
Through a State conveyance to HRA for redevelopment purposes,
the County and City agree upon the following procedure designed to
obtain voluntary payment of some consideration for benefit of the
taxing districts upon prior unpaid taxes and assessments and to effect
enhancement of the parcel valuation through its redevelopment upon
future tax revenues:
I. The County Board shall fix a value for the parcel
upon the market value recommendation of the Land
Commissioner. Before making his recommendation the Land
Commissioner shall consult with Valuations respecting
proposed redevelopment and valuation.
II. The County and HRP, shall conclude a Certificate
of Sale of Forfeited Lands incorporating these terms:
a) Price: Appraised valuation (or such greater or
lesser amount as is fixed by the HRA Contract for
sale for private redevelopment and received on such
sale) less actual reasonable costs incurred by HRA
in the maintenance, site preparation, title
clearance and sale of the parcel;
b) Deed: The County shall recommend to the
Commissioner of Revenue in favor of his conveyance
of the Parcel to HRA in accordance with
Section 282 .01 . Upon payment of the price, the
County shall make application for the State deed to
the HRA.
c) Termination: In the event the parcel is not
sold for redevelopment within three years from the
date of the Certificate of Sale, HRA may pay the
appraised valuation and receive a State deed, or
suffer the termination of said certificate without
further act or requirement on the part of the
County. In event of termination of the Certificate
of Sale, HRA shall deliver a quit claim deed to the
State; and

RE: TAX FORFEITE LAN PROCEDURE ���""� �``��
�'< t'_=
���R�.'_'`.lf y♦
Attached are the o iginals of materials for City Council con-
sideration regarding the referenced procedure . Please sign
the resolution and process the packet with the City Attorney
and City Clerk.
As you are aware , Jim Hart believes that the referenced pro-
cedure commits the Housing and Redevelopment Authority Board
to buy parcels from the County in advance of sale , closing
and receipt of purchase price from the developer . I believe
that his analysis is accurate , but believe as well that there
is another option: To modify HRA redevelopment agreements
to provide for the developer depositing the purchase price
for the parcel with the HRA, with HRA then acquiring the
parcel from the County under this procedure . I leave for
you to decide which way to pursue the matter in each individ-
ual instance .
It is Mr . Reiter ' s preference in these matters to deal with
- �`t� Bill Donovan as the conduit for purchase of parcels. I believe
that that request can and should be honored; nonetheless, it
would be well if Sheri Pemberton could spend time with Mr . Reiter ,
at his convenience, to gain additional familiarity with the
processes he follows and concerns which he has regarding tax
forfeit transactions. As well , Sheri should keep track of
transactions under this procedure (assuming City Council adopts
it) in order to document any problems or difficulties it
presents. Mr . Reiter will be doing the same on his end of
the process. Mr . Reiter and I will be getting back together
a year from now, or sooner if necessary, to modify the pro-
cedure should it prove impossible , or even diff icult , to work
with as presently structured. I will rely on advice from you,
Sheri and Jim Hart regarding its workability over the course
of time.
I leave to you to decide whether there is need for , and if
so to carry out, a briefing of Council members on this issue .

d) Maintenance: HRA shall be responsible for
parcel maintenance during the three year period
covering the Certificate of Sale.
This Procedure shall be evaluated by the parties one year from
its approval as to the reasonableness of costs deducted by HRA from
the price paic3 under paragraph a) above. This procedure may be
terminated by mutual agreement or by either party upon 90 days written
notice to the other. Procedure termination shall not affect any
outstanding Certificate of Sale.
