Ms. Drude further indicated that an adjustment had been made in the size of the bond issue from $1,690,000 to $1,750,000. Patrick Klaers, City Administrator, noted that the County Board has accepted the City of Elk River attorney's lawfirm of Larkin Hoffman as bond consultant. He further noted that the City Attorney has been in contact with County Attorney regarding the fairgrounds property and that the process is moving along to trans- fer the deed and payment of funds owed to the City by the County. Mayor Hinkle reviewed the history of the problem with the fairgrounds property. Dale Palmer indicated that he had spoke with the County Attorney, John MacGibbon, today and Mr. MacGibbon has sent the necessary paperwork to the City's Attorney and has not yet had a response. Mayor Hinkle indicated that it was his under- standing that the City's Attorney has already sent the necessary documents to Mr. MacGibbon to draw up the deed. It was the consensus that City Staff would follow up to insure that the process was moving along in a timely manner. Councilmember Gunkel commented that she felt it was appropriate to make the fairgrounds property payment a stipulation of the approval of the bond issue, inasmuch as the the bond issue is to finance additional space for the County. Councilmember Gunkel explained that the City too has an urgent need for additional ~ space, but is unable to help themselves.
