<br /> <br />KRASS <br />MONROE <br /> <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />FILE NO.: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS <br />PHILLIP R KRASS <br />TWIN LAKES CONDEMNATION <br />9987-20 <br />NOVEMBER 17, 2006 <br /> <br />The City's November 20th Study Session Agenda requests a discussion of issues that impact <br />the condemnation of properties in the Twin Lakes Area. The issues for discussion seem to be <br />the same, or at least similar to, the issues we spoke of in our attorney/client conference on <br />October 23cd As you recall, we requested that communications regarding this issue be held in a <br />closed meeting to protect the City from the use of such information later in the condemnation <br />process. We continue to believe that is a necessity. <br /> <br />You may recall at that meeting that I imparted to you the necessity of continuing to use the <br />present Redevelopment Contract originally entered into in this matter. That Contact may, and <br />most likely will, be amended, but it must continue to be the operative document between the <br />City and the Redeveloper. <br /> <br />It is my understanding that the land use applications have been amended so that the <br />Redeveloper is the applicant. If such applications are approved, then the existing Contact <br />should be modified to reflect these changes. <br /> <br />I have no opinion regarding the "Twin Lakes Summit" proposal. My only concern would be any <br />discussion publicly of any of the condemnation issues in an open forum. I assume that staff and <br />Council members would be reluctant to receive questions from the public to which the only <br />answer can be that the Council and staff are unable to respond to those questions in such a <br />public forum. <br /> <br />If you would like either Jim or I to be at the meeting on November 20, we would be happy to <br />appear. However, to discuss the matters on your agenda, we would need, once again, to ask <br />for a closed meeting. I would also note that there have been no changes in the status of any of <br />the condemnations since my October 23 appearance, and as a result, I have nothing to report. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />Phillip R Krass <br /> <br />cc: James R Casserly <br /> <br />PRK/ph <br />G:\WPDATA\R\Roseville 9987\20\Memo\Mayor and Council prk 3.doc <br />
