12-10708r RESOLUTION NO. 10708
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CONVEYANCE OF REAL PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 6812 14TH AVENUE
WHEREAS, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of
Richfield, (the "HRA") entered into a purchase agreement dated December 29, 2011 for
the purchase of property located at 6812 14th Avenue and legally described as The
East % of Block 6 except the North 126 feet thereof and except the South 320.3 feet
thereof, Rich Fields, Hennepin County, Minn. (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, at closing on the purchase of the Property, the deed erroneously
conveyed the Property to the City of Richfield instead of to the HRA; and
WHEREAS, the City of Richfield desires to correct the error by quit claiming its
interest in the Property to the HRA; and
WHEREAS, although the City Charter requires that sales of property must be
approved by ordinance, under Minnesota Statutes section 471.64, the City may enter
into a contract with another political subdivision, such as the HRA, for the sale of real
property without regard to charter provisions; and
WHEREAS, compliance with charter requirements to correct a clerical error
would result in unnecessary delay and expense.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Richfield, Minnesota as follows:
1. The City Manager and Mayor are authorized and directed to execute a Quit
Claim Deed to convey the Property to the Housing and Redevelopment Authority
in and for the City of Richfield and to take such other actions as may be
necessary to effectuate the conveyance.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 23rd day of
October, 2012.
Debbie Goettel, Mayor
