City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />October 26, 2005 <br />Motion by Council Member Lakso, seconded by Mayor Capra to approve a City <br />investigation into this matter by an outside consultant. All in favor. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br />3.1601 LaMotte Drive (Update) <br /> <br />Mr. Larson referred to a memo distributed to the Council regarding the surplus property <br />south of the water pumping station on Centerville Lake. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson outlined the tentative agreement that the St. Paul Regional Water Services has <br />indicated they would support to allow for the City of Centerville to purchase the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson distributed a report identifying the source of funding for the purchase. He <br />commented on the legal issues regarding eminent domain, market rates and the re-selling <br />of the property at some point in the future. <br /> <br />Council Member Paar indicated his concern putting the City’s budget in jeopardy and <br />limits on what the City can do with the property. <br /> <br />Mr. Larson advised the financial scenario that was distributed clearly illustrates that the <br />City can pay the first and second payments. The third payment would not occur for 2 ½ <br />years. The worst-case scenario would involve the City selling a portion of the property to <br />make the third payment. <br /> <br /> <br />4.
