Rice County commissioners approved a resolution to transfer a parcel in Henry M. Rice Square to the City of Faribault for a public parking lot.
Staff presented Resolution 25-033, describing the transfer of "Lot 22 of Block 1 in Henry M. Rice Square when that plat is recorded" to the City of Faribault to be used as a public parking lot. The staff presentation noted that the city will act next week on the matter and that the county vote starts the transfer process.
Commissioner Malika moved to approve the resolution and was seconded by Commissioner Underdahl; the board approved the motion by voice vote. Commissioners asked for clarification about which side of the block would be used for parking; staff confirmed the northeast portion of the block would be the parking lot while the northwest portion is intended for development.
