AUTHORIZE PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 3944 WEST 49-112
STREET, RESOLUTION NO. 2014-04
Economic Development Manager Neuendorf stated the owners of the former Hooten Cleaners
had approached city staff inquiring whether the City of Edina remained interested in purchasing the
property. After the city's efforts to purchase the property in 2012-2013, the owners chose to
enter in to a sales agreement with a private party. That potential sale fell through in the spring of
2014. While previously, the owners had interest in remodeling and leasing the building to new
tenants, they have approached the city stating their interest in selling the property outright.
After a brief discussion, Commissioner Swenson made a motion to adopt Resolution
2014-04 authorizing the Chair and Executive Director of the HRA to execute a
purchase agreement and other documents necessary to purchase the property at
3944 West 49-1/2 Street. Commissioner Sprague seconded the motion.
Ayes: Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland
Nays: Bennett
Motion carried.
ADJOURNMENT
Chair Hovland declared the meeting adjourned at 11:35 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Scott Neal, Executive Director
