Lakeville council authorizes staff to bid on tax-forfeited parcel at Dakota County auction
Summary
After a closed session on a real estate transaction, the Lakeville City Council authorized staff to bid on a tax-forfeited parcel at the Dakota County public auction, approving the motion by roll call. Staff said the action follows direction given in closed session regarding parcel 22-48200-0020.
Assistant City Administrator Kennan told the Lakeville City Council staff was requesting approval of a resolution "to approve acquisition of real property per the discussion at the closed session," and remained available for questions.
Council member Joshua Lee moved "to authorize staff to bid on tax forfeited property at the Dakota County Public Auction, pursuant to the direction provided during the closed meeting concerning the acquisition of property." The motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
The roll call recorded affirmative votes following the motion. The action stems from a closed-session discussion held under Minnesota Statute 13D.005 Subdivision 3C3 concerning a real estate transaction related to parcel 22-48200-0020. Council members did not provide further public detail about the city's intended bid amount or the planned use for the parcel during the open meeting.
Next steps: staff is authorized to proceed with bidding at the Dakota County public auction consistent with the council's closed-session direction; the council did not specify additional public disclosure or an acquisition timeline at the meeting.
