Subject: City of St. Pau1 Dept. of Public Works
Maint e nance Yaxd at Lafayette Road and Bruno St.,
Enlar�ement of
The City of St. Paul previously approved the project of acquiring
the real estate as shown autlined on the attached map for the enlaxgement
of �he Public Works Maintenance Yaxd pursuant to Ordinance #15047,
C.F. #�257595 approved March 22, 1972. The offer to purchase the land
froan the Soo Line Railroad was rejected by said raa.lroad on the basis of
their future plans for ad,jacent property which might require e�ccess across
the sub�ect parcel. However, because their plans axe indefinite at th3.s
time they have offered to lease the subject property to the City on an
annual basis for the nominal sum of $1.04. gor the purpose intended, the
Department of Public Works has indicated a lease agreement wauld be
satisfactory. Therefore would yau have the Mayor sign the attached
resolution for Council approval approving the lease. This office will
retain the original lease agreement until the proper City officials axe
authorized to execute same.
Thank you Por yo�ur cooperation.
