STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: The purpose of this resolution is to authorize the request and acceptance of certain tax forfeit land from St. Louis County, on behalf of the State of Minnesota for a public service facility.
There is a vacant 25 foot by 100 foot lot adjacent to the Gary Fire Hall (Station #10). The City desires to acquire the lot to add the property to the boundary of Station #10. The current building is less than 10 feet from the current property line, and the addition of this lot will provide a buffer between the fire hall and the neighboring property.
