Whereas, the City Council of the City of St. Louis Park does hereby determine that it is
necessary and for a public use and purpose to acquire fee title and/or permanent and

to engineering modifications, if any, for purposes in connection with the Cedar Lake Road
improvement project; and
Whereas, city staff and consultants have and will continue to work with the property

permanent and temporary easements over the properties identified on the attached Exhibit

pursuant to the "quick take" provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 117.042.

necessary, in the opinion of the city attorney, to effect the acquisition of the necessary property
interests.
4. The city has obtained appraisals of the property being acquired and staff is
