Clarification of Doug Hansen Purchase Agreement
Staff received a phone call from Doug Hansen requesting a change to the City
Center Park purchase agreement. The city council approved this purchase
agreement in August of 1998; however, the agreement did not include language
regarding "the potential threat of condemnation" by the city. Staff believes that if
Mr. Hansen did not agree to sell his property, staff would have asked the city
council to start condemnation proceedings against him.
In granting this change, the city is allowing Mr. Hansen an extra 1 Yz years to
decide how he can reinvest the proceeds from the sale. Weare scheduled to close
with Mr. Hansen in the next two weeks.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff believes this language is justifiable and requests that the council direct the
city attorney to prepare the necessary documents to make this change.
