10)a.3.a. Authorizing the subddivision of the property at 2310 N 16th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55411 (former Willard and Gordon Schools)
Agenda Item Type:
Consent Item
Description:
Motion Authorizing the Senior Officer of Finance and Operations to take all necessary actions to subdivide the land at 2310 N 16th Ave, Minneapolis, MN 55411 (former Willard and Gordon Schools), for the purpose of selling or transferring a parcel to the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) Recommendation The School Board authorizes the Senior Officer of Finance and Operations to complete the property division north of Willard School. Background The land north of the Willard school is not needed by Minneapolis Public School or the potential redevelopment of the Willard School, which is currently designated surplus property and on the real estate market for sale. The MPRB has expressed interest in the land north of Willard School to expand and enhance Willard Park. For the potential park expansion, the land would need to be divided into two separate parcels. The divided property is critical to the MPRB's rehabilitation of Willard Park, which is supported by a federal grant. Our long-standing partnership with MPRB and continued development supports MPS’s mission. Negotiations with MPRB for the land north of Willard School are in progress. |

10)a.3.b. Authorizing an Environmental Covenant and Easement at the Adult Education North Campus (800 W. Broadway)
Agenda Item Type:
Consent Item
Description:
Motion Directing and authorizing the Senior Officer of Finance and Operations to execute the Environmental Covenant and Easement at the Adult Education North Campus (800 W. Broadway) Background MPS Environmental Health & Safety reviewed the attached environmental covenant and easement document for the 800 W. Broadway location. The covenant is necessary to communicate the environmental conditions on the site, methods to mitigate identified hazards and to provide access to regulatory agencies for the purpose of determining compliance and perform testing. Chemicals from the two previous uses contaminated the property. To ensure safe occupancy of the building, and protection from the contamination, a soil vapor control system has been installed. In order to monitor and test the system, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency requires a covenant and easement document be signed by all tenants of the building. The document allows the MPCA to conduct testing and informs the tenant of the soil vapor extraction system. Recommendation The 800 W. Broadway location is safe for occupancy by Minneapolis Public Schools staff, students and community. The approval of the environmental covenant and easement is recommended to ensure the MPCA has access to the property to evaluate compliance, inspect the mitigation system and perform testing. |
