No restrictions were placed on the <br />conveyance. <br /> <br />Prior to the conveyance of all or a part of the Sheehy Park property, the City must do <br />one (1) of the following (M.S. 462.356, Subd. 2): <br /> <br />1. The Planning Commission should review the proposed transaction and <br />prepare findings for the City Council, indicating whether the disposition of the <br />park property complies with the City's Comprehensive Plan; or <br /> <br />2. The City Council should adopt a resolution indicating that in its judgment, the <br />proposed disposition has no relationship to the City's Comprehensive Plan. <br />This type of resolution requires four (4) affirmative votes. <br /> <br />The City has the authority to sell or lease excess property (M.S. 412.211). The City <br />does not have the authority to convey property for a nominal consideration, unless <br />the conveyance is to another governmental unit (M.S. 465.025 and 465.035). The <br />Attorney General has determined that the City cannot convey land for a nominal <br />consideration to a non-profit organization (A.G. OP. 469a-9; May 5, 1967). <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br /> <br />JPF/jmt <br />cc: Michelle Wolfe <br /> <br /> <br />. ALSO ADMITTED IN WISCONSIN <br />
