Item # 6.1. <br />fiver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Lori Johnson, City Administrator <br />DATE: February I I, 2008 <br />SUBJECT: Highway 169 Land Acquisition <br />'Phis item is returning to the Council for discussion following brief discussions at two <br />previous meetings. The issue of beginning to acquire property for the Highway 169 <br />improvements was prompted along by a property owner with property for sale in the <br />proposed right of way who offcrcd the property to the City before listing it fox sale. On <br />December 17, 2007, the Council agreed not to pursue purchasing that piece of property. <br />Attached is the memo from the December 17, 2007, meeting explainuig MnDOT's policy on <br />early acquisition and addressing City funding. Since there is no timeline for beginnuig the <br />project and the early acquisition needs to be funded by the City, early acquisition does not <br />appear to be to the City's advantage at this time. <br />
