Tom Jennings, Chief of Police, responded nothing is changing, anyone can come to City Hall and get these report now. The public has access to these records and only public records will be allowed.

Chief Jennings noted that this has been set up in other states and communities and has been very well received by the public. Councilperson Gunderson asked Noel Anderson, City Planner, to respond to the oral comments last week by Dewayne Eilers concerning a piece of land he wished to purchase as Mr. Anderson's name kept coming up as the person who was blocking Mr. Eilers' purchase of the land. Noel Anderson, City Planner, reported the portion Mr. Eilers is buying is disposal parcels which the city acquired as a part of the Martin Luther King Project. Since the city used state and federal money for the purchase, we are required to offer the property back to the original property owners. State Code requires we survey and appraise the property, so it is not a matter of using the assessed amount. Mr. Anderson stated that Mr. Eilers' parcel was one of many disposal parcels along the Martin Luther King corridor, and as part of the project, the city was doing all of it as a total, including surveying and appraising them all, which is a pretty time consuming process which Mr. Eilers had to wait through. • August 15, 2005 • • Oral Presentations continued Page 9 Mr. Anderson stated there was some complications with the original parcel Mr. Eilers wanted to acquire as it was originally acquired from him and another gentlemen. Mr. Anderson stated the city had to resurvey the parcel and split it up. Mr. Anderson stated that on December 20, 2004, the council pulled Mr. Eilers' request from the agenda when we found out a portion of it was not acquired from Mr. Eilers. Mr. Anderson stated by State Code we have to offer the parcel back to the original owner, and that person has passed away and the city is required to track down the heirs and offer the property to them for first right of refusal. Mr. Anderson noted that Mr. Eilers said the city was holding up his multi-million dollar project, but to his knowledge Mr. Eilers had not expressed any specific built plans to staff at the time he noted he wanted to buy back his parcel, which is about 30,000 square feet. Mr. Anderson stated it is not a very large parcel and Mr. Eilers does own other vacant land in the area, and in his opinion if Mr. Eilers wanted to build he could have started construction while he was waiting for this parcel. Councilperson Schmitt stated last week Mr. Eilers mentioned the $1 million warehouse, and asked if that were in the works would the city not have sold the land for $1 instead of the assessed value we are selling it for. Mr. Anderson responded that we could, but since the city purchased the property with state funds we would have to reimburse the state for 80 percent of that cost as part of a development agreement. Gunderson/Kincaid that the above oral comments be received and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. 122192 - Gunderson/Schmitt that the council adjourn to Executive Session at 6:17 p.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
