Title
APPROVAL OF CLASSIFICATION AND SALE OF TAX FORFEIT PROPERTIES WITHIN THE CITY OF BLAINE
Background
The Anoka County Board of Commissioners is commissioned by statute to offer for sale tax forfeit properties in the county. The County Board approved Resolution No. 2012-154 on October 23, 2012, classifying certain non-conservation forfeit lands in Anoka County, specifically three parcels in Blaine.
Should the City desire to acquire any parcels of land within the City, a request must be filed within sixty (60) days. The County Board will then withhold the parcel or parcels from sale for six (6) months. If the City fails to acquire the property within the withholding period, the county may offer it for sale upon expiration of the withholding period.
The City is requesting that the following parcel not be withheld from public sale:
PIN# 23-31-23-32-0004 is a parcel that is landlocked and there is no other abutting forfeit parcel to combine it with.
The City is requesting that the following parcels be withheld from public sale:

PIN# 11-31-23-44-0005 is a parcel that is adjacent to the above-listed parcel which is adjacent to a City owned property. The City as well as the Natural Resources Conservation Board has a strong public interest in this property.
