ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 26, 2007 9 rendered economically unviable for development and that the Government and Purchaser have recognized this in the valuation of the property as a whole. Additionally, when the Third Amendment to the OTP was drafted, the GSA stipulated that by March 30, 2007 the Purchaser and the Government must reach agreement on the proposed terms and process necessary to ensure that the Purchaser of its assignee will (a) transfer the Wildlife Corridor and the Athletic Field for use for public purposes, including but not limited to public parks, recreation and open space in perpetuity and (b) remediate the Wildlife Corridor and the Athletic Field as required by the Remedial Action Plan approved by the MPCA in accordance with the Response Action Agreement for Public Use of such property. She recommended Council adopt Resolution 07-39, Supporting the Transfer of the Wildlife Corridor and Proposed Athletic Fields for Public Purposes. Councilmember Holden asked if they would be held to the approximately 75 acres. Ms. Barton responded in the Offer to Purchase she believed it did layout the acreage with respect to the Wildlife Corridor and the Athletic Fields. She stated they would be held to the acreage. She noted they would need to obtain a final survey, which would indicate where the Wildlife Corridor and the Athletic Fields would be. Councilmember Holmes inquired about the last paragraph. She asked who the willing transferee was going to be. Ms. Barton responded they did not specify that because they did not have that information at this time. Mayor Harpstead noted this was saying that this land would be set aside for public use, but they did not know who the entity would be at this time. Ms. Barton noted a private entity could own the property as long as it was set aside for a public purpose. She stated at this time, they were not sure if the City should take title to the property due to liability issues. Councilmember Holmes asked if they could move the 75 acres for the athletic field to another location if they were saying the area was economically unviable. Ms. Barton responded she believed the GSA wanted the athletic field to be used for a public purpose, which made them economically unviable and it was not due to the land itself. MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to adopt Resolution 07-39, Supporting the Transfer of the Wildlife Corridor and Proposed Athletic Fields for Public Purposes and direct staff to provide copies of Resolution 07-39 to the Army, GSA, RRLP, and the Congressional Delegation. Councilmember McClung stated he did not understand why they had to do this. He noted he understood why the GSA wanted this, but they had already signed a legal document stating they would be transferring the land for public purpose. Mayor Harpsted noted that in the last Agreement, the GSA noted the City had an obligation to meet these criteria on this land formally by March 30, 2007 and this would meet those criteria.
