This being the time and place for the scheduled Public Hearing on the acceptance of ownership of that portion of 13th Avenue South located within Moklestad’s Second Addition, Mayor Scholl opened the Public Hearing at 5:34 PM.

The City Administrator explained that the street in question was never formally conveyed to the City as a public street when the area was developed, and is currently owned by the Moklestad family. There are three properties on the street which technically have neither public access nor street frontage. To alleviate this situation, the Moklestad family will convey ownership of the parcel to the City, and it will continue to be considered a minimum maintenance street until the abutting property owners agree to improve the street to City minimum standards.

No written comments or objections were received, and there were no comments from the general public in attendance.
