Dear Council Member:
The attached Resolution for your consideration would approve the purchase of property
located at 51270 Mayflower Road. This is a companion to Bill # 11-09 which appropriates
the funding necessary to carry out this acquisition. This 10 acre parcel. is needed for Right of
Way as it sits in the middle of the Auten Connector path. The Auten Connector is part of the
planned Portage Prairie transportation improvements, and will eventually connect with
Portage Avenue. Major Moves funds in the amount of $300,000 would be used to acquire
the property. The Major Moves funds are to be reimbursed by the AEDA TIF immediately
upon acquisition by the City. TIF funds cannot be used to directly acquire the property since
it is outside the TlF area. However the property is adjacent to and connected to the TIF
area, so the property can be acquired by the City, and TIF can reimburse the City's costs.
The Controller has verified that cash is available to support this Major Moves expenditure.
1, will make the presentation to the Council at your February 23rd meeting. If you have any
questions, please call me at 235-9339.
Sin rely,
Donald E. Inks
