<br /> <br />civic recreation or conference facilities; <br /> <br /> <br />public service facilities such as fire halls, police stations, lift stations, water towers, <br />sanitation facilities, water treatment facilities, and administrative offices; <br /> <br /> <br />outlots that developers promised but failed to convey to the city under a developer’s <br />agreement (via a quit claim deed); and <br /> <br /> <br />parcels that associations of common interest communities were entitled to per <br />written agreement but that forfeited without conveyance. <br /> <br />For acquisition for a public use, the city would receive a use deed that specifies the uses for which <br />the city may use the land. If the city does not put the land to the specified use within 3 years, it will <br />automatically revert back to the state. If the city wishes to change the use at a later date, a public <br />hearing and approval is required from the Commissioner of Revenue and the County Board. One <br />exception to note is that the city could acquire property for a park or trail but not necessarily have <br />the trail in place within the 3 years as long as the trail is in an adopted plan such as the city’s <br />Comprehensive Parks Plan. The County Board must approve, via resolution, each request by the city <br />to acquire tax-forfeited land free of charge. <br /> <br /> <br />
