IMP. PROJECT 493 President Pro tem Collier introduced for discussion Item 4, Resolution Approving
Item 4 Extension to Land Disposition Agreement Relating to Development of 5501 Boone
Avenue North (Improvement Project No. 493).
Mr. Kirk McDonald, Director of Community Development, stated this involves the
existing agreement the City has with Hennepin County regarding $100,000 of
CDBG money that has been set aside for the development of the city-owned
property at 5501 Boone. The existing agreement requires the property to be used for
an adult daycare facility which will be constructed by the end of this year. The
resolution will provide a three-year extension for the development. The conveyance
of land was interrupted last year when Minnesota Masonic Homes purchased North
Ridge Care Center. Minnesota Masonic Homes is preparing its strategic plan and
examining the function of the adult daycare services (CareBreak). The organization
has requested an extension and Hennepin County is supportive of the extension.
President Pro tem Collier inquired whether a three-year extension is excessive and
whether this prohibits the property from being utilized for another project.
Mr. Steve Sondrall, City Attorney, recommended the full three-year extension and
noted the City has the right to make another request to Hennepin County regarding
the CDBG funding if the EDA desires to pursue an alternate use for the property at
any time.
