5.5. ERMUSR 07-11-2006./j Elk River .~ Municipal Utilities ~ 13069 Orono Parkway C1~ phone: 763.441.2020 Elk River, MN 55330 Fax: 763.441.8099 July 5, 2006 To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Terry Takle John Dietz Tames Tralle From: Bryan Adams, P.E. Subject: Property Purchase At the March 14, 2006, Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission meeting, the possible sale of the Briggs property was discussed. This property lies directly east of our power plant and contains 6.28 acres with about 40% being in the flood zone. Staff was directed to get a property appraisal. Ron Black secured an appraisal completed by Steven Smith. The appraised value is $288,000. To secure room for future facility expansion at our operation center, utility staff recommends this property be purchased. City staff, particularly the planning department does not concur. Their view is this area is a residential area, and although we have only been there for approximately 60 years, this entire facility should be moved elsewhere to a more suitable location. There will also be much resistance to allow some tree removal to make room for future facilities. The other complicating factor is finances. The Elk River Municipal Utilities is very strapped for cash this year. This purchase may possibly incorporate delayed payment or a stepped payment structure.
