A RESOLUTION DECLARING A MORATORIUM
ON THE SALE OR TRANSFER OF CITY OWNED LAND
WHEREAS, the stillwater City Council and the Stillwater city
Charter Commission, both duly assembled for a joint meeting held at
4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 9, 1992, and,
WHEREAS, the subject of the meeting was a discussion of the
Charter commission's proposal to add to the city Charter a proposed
Chapter 16 that would place certain restrictions on the sale or
transfer of City land, and,
WHEREAS, at the joint meeting, testimony was given by Steven
Russell, community Development Director, and Nile Kriesel, city
Coordinator, that further work should be done to the proposed draft
in order that any ambiguities be resolved and all possible
ramifications of the chapter be fully studied and analyzed before
the Charter amendment proposal be placed on the ballot for
consideration by the electorate, and,
r
WHEREAS, since a draft of the proposed Charter amendment would
have to be completed by the Charter Commission by the 16th of
September, it was the consensus of Charter commission members that
the short period of time remaining until September 16, 1992 would
be inadequate to give the issue the proper study and consideration,
and,
WHEREAS, the City council determined that in order to
encourage the Charter Commission to forebear placing the question
on the ballot until the general election of 1994, they offer
certain concessions and promises to the Charter commission;
NOW THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing, the City Council of
the City of stillwater resolves as follows:
r
.
1. That in view of the promise of the Charter commission to
refrain from placing proposed Chapter 16 dealing with the city-
owned land on the ballot until the general election of 1994, the
city Council agrees that it will not transfer, sell or lease city-
owned land or enter into a written agreement to do so unless the
action is preceded by 30 days published notice of their intention
to do so and during that 30-day periOd, the proposal be submitted
to the stillwater Charter Commission, the stillwater planning
Commission, the stillwater Port Authority, and the stillwater Parks
and Recreation committee and Heritage preservation committee and
that the written advisory recommendations of these bodies all be
made available to the public prior to the public hearing and
considered by the Council at the hearing. No sale, lease or other
transfer shall take place without the written approval of three of
the five Commissions. Further that they provide to the Charter
commission during the study period, the assistance of the City
