The Detention and Workhouse Facility Commission of the
City of Saint Paul and the County of Ramsey, as indicated by
Council File No. 192498, has asked that the Old Workhouse Farm
property be disposed of as soon as possible, so that it may
obtain the proceeds from the sale of such properties for use
in connection with the construction program connected with
erecting a new City- County detention facility building. The
Public Works Department has done considerable work in connec-
tion with the proposed disposition of this property and has
prepared a plat thereof which is designated, "Battle Creek
Heights Plat 111. This plat describes a portion of the old
workhouse property to be sold. Encompassed in said plat is
the area of the old workhouse farm bounded by McKnight Road
on the east, Ruth Street on the west, Larry Ho Drive on the
north, and Upper Afton Road on the south. The legal descrip-
tion of said property is as follows:
Part of the NE/ of Section 2, Township 28 North,
Range 22'West, Ramsey County, St. Paul, Minnesota
described as follows: Except that part taken for
street purposes, commencing at the SW corner of
the NE/14 of Sec. 2, T 28 %9R 22 W, thence northerly
on a deflection angle of 0 25' to the right
measured from the south line of the NE% of said
Sec. 2 a distance of 560 feet to a point; thence
easterly on a deflection angle of 900 35' to the
right a distance of 520.10 feet to a point; thence

a line that is tangent to the last described curve
at the last described point for a distance of 304.04

thence southerly on a deflection angle of 1170 06' 33"

Under the legislation previously enacted by the Legislature
of the State of Minnesota, it was provided that funds raised from
the sale of the Old Workhouse Farm property would be transferred
to the Detention and Workhouse Facility Commission of the City
of Saint Paul and the County of Ramsey. For some time, now,
City personnel, headed by the Mayor and the Commissioner of
Public Works, have been considering certain terms and conditions
which are to be incorporated into the conditions of selling of
the Old'Workhouse Farm property, and it has been decided that
the City is prepared to proceed with the sale of a portion of
said property if the Council is agreeable to presently proceed.
The undersigned Commissioner recommends to the Council that it
approve said project and direct that the same be disposed of
in accordance with .the provisions of Administrative Ordinance
No. 6576 of the City of Saint Paul pertaining to sale of City
of Saint Paul realty. The reasons for recommendation of sale
of the aforementioned property are that the same is no longer
needed as a detention facility by the City of Saint Paul and
the Commission, through its Executive Secretary, has indicated
an urgency with respect to the proceeds to be obtained from
sale of the Old Workhouse Farm property.
Respectfully sub 'tted,
