MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 19, 2012 APPROVED
Motion made by Commissioner Bennett and seconded by Commissioner Swenson approving the Minutes of

Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.
RESOLUTION NO. 2013-01 AUTHORIZING POTENTIAL PURCHASE OF PROPERTY AT 3944 WEST 49 ': STREET
ADOPTED
Economic Development Manager noted the City and Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) has studied
the parking availability at the 501h and France business district and found that additional public parking was
needed to support the continued success of this district. He stated the study confirmed that the existing North
Parking Ramp at 3936-3940 West 49-1/2 Street has the ability to be expanded to provide additional public
parking for customers and employees. Construction of additional parking at the North Ramp would be
preferred before any renovation of the South and Middle Ramps. The new parking would make up for the
temporary loss of spaces during the renovation process.
Mr. Neuendorf reported the single story building located west of the North Ramp at 3944 West 49-1/2 Street
was available for lease or for sale. The property owners have expressed a willingness to consider a lease or sale
to the City/HRA. Mr. Neuendorf requested the HRA authorize the negotiation of terms for a potential
purchase of the property with the owners.
Following a brief discussion and with a suggested modification to the proposed Resolution No. 2013-01,
Commissioner Swenson made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Sprague adopting Resolution No. 2013-
01 Authorizing the potential purchase of the property at 3944 West 49%Street as amended.
Ayes: Bennett, Brindle, Sprague, Swenson, Hovland
Motion carried.
There being no further business on the Edina Housing and Redevelopment Authority Agenda, Chair Hovland
declared the meeting adjourned at 9:55 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Scott Neal, Executive Director
