Council will enter closed session to discuss purchase of three parcels for Crow River stormwater improvements tied to state grant
Summary
The June 9 agenda schedules a closed session under Minn. Stat. 13D.05, subd. 3(c) to discuss potential purchase of three parcels west of town linked to a lakes and river basin study and a roughly $3 million state grant for Crow River stormwater work.
The Hutchinson City Council agenda notes a closed session to discuss potential purchase of three parcels west of town that the city may acquire for stormwater management along the Crow River. Clerk said the closed session will be held pursuant to Minnesota Statute 13D.05 subdivision 3(c), which permits private discussion of real estate negotiations.
The clerk said property descriptions are listed in the agenda (three areas, including a section and township description) and that the matter stems from a lakes and river basin study and a state grant of about $3 million the city received several years ago to support improvements. He said the properties are west of town and that a summary of the closed session will be available afterwards; any public action would be taken in open session and recorded.
Because the discussion is scheduled to occur in closed session under the cited statute, the agenda provides only the statutory authority and a general description. Specific purchase terms, seller identities, appraisals, and negotiation positions are not included in the spoken agenda summary and would appear in the closed-session record or subsequent open minutes if a public vote occurs.
