Commissioner Brimeyer asked if a decision had been made related to articles remaining inside the
house. Mr. Anderson indicated that a personal representative would handle all personal property.
Mayor Dorfman explained that while Evelyn Raymond had a vision that her home be used as a
studio to grow new St. Louis Park artists, she was in support of the Town Center concept with
dedication of one of her sculptures outside the new recreation center. Mayor Dorfinan was in
favor of supporting the Vision for the Arts in St. Louis Park and although it was not possible to
use Evelyn's home as a studio, expressed her desire to see a civic building for the arts in the
future perhaps dedicated to Evelyn Raymond.
It was moved by Commissioner Dorfman, seconded by Commissioner Brimeyer, to authorize the
President and Executive Director to enter into a purchase agreement for the property at 3730
Monterey Drive and execute all necessary documents to complete the acquisition. The motion
passed 6-0.
