Appendix A: Checklist for Street Vacation by Resolution of <br />City Council <br />The following is a suggested checklist that may be useful to the clerk or other city officers to <br />ensure every step in the vacation process is done as required. No checklist of this kind is legally <br />required, but the form may be helpful. This list can be duplicated on two sides of one piece of <br />paper so that one copy can be placed in the file for the vacation or in some other convenient <br />place. Some of the steps will be omitted in some vacations, others in different vacations, but <br />these can be crossed off when not applicable in the individual case. Additional steps may also be <br />added to the list; for example, in cities where a home rule charter imposes additional procedures. <br />Steps to Follow <br />Completed by <br />Date <br />Whom <br />Petition requesting vacation received <br />Resolution verifying sufficiency of petition <br />and ordering hearing date and preparation <br />of notice <br />OR (if no petition) <br />Proposed resolution for vacation and <br />preparation of notice <br />Affidavit of mailing written notice by <br />certified mail upon the commissioner of <br />Natural Resources (at least 60 days before <br />the hearing) <br />Affidavit of consultation with the <br />commissioner of Natural Resources on the <br />vacation (must occur at least 15 days <br />before the hearing) and materials received <br />Affidavit of publication of notice of <br />hearing (must occur for two consecutive <br />weeks prior to hearing) <br />Affidavit of mailing notice to affected <br />property owners (must occur at least 10 <br />days prior to hearing) <br />Minutes of public hearing showing <br />testimony and findings <br />League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 4/27/2017 <br />Vacation of City Streets Page 12 <br />
