Radio noted that <br /> unlike other hazardous building actions , the land owner <br /> put in an answer contesting the matter . Radio stated <br /> that the property then went into tax forfeiture to the <br /> state. Radio stated that the land owner had a chance to <br /> redeem, and did not do so as of January 7 , 1985 , <br /> therefore the state now owns the land. Radio stated <br /> that the Council must decide two issues : what to do <br /> with the hazardous building and what to do with the <br /> property. Radio felt that the City could obtain <br /> permission from trie state to raze the building, but that <br /> the state will not pay for it. Radio stated that the <br /> state wants to release the land for sale which would <br /> allow the City to recoup its costs for part of the <br /> razing through the sale of the property to the general <br /> public or to buy it back fr_om the state with an <br /> adjustment in the price. Radio stated that the City <br /> could also purchase the land for park purposes . <br /> Zoning Administrator Mabusth stated that the two <br /> adjacent property owners are interested in purchasing <br /> the property. <br /> Councilmember Grabek moved, Councilmember L. Adams <br /> seconded, directed staff to ask for bids on the razing <br /> of the hazardous building and acquire purchase prices <br /> from the DNR.
