05-31-1990 Town Board MinutesSTATE OF MN The Town Board of the Town
COUNTY OF WRIGHT of Otsego met this 31 day
TOWN OF OTSEGO of May at 7:30 PM to
discuss the possible
purchase by the Township
of Block 78 of the Otsego Townsite, a 2.5 acre parcel owned
by the Peavey Family. Norman Freske, Chairman, Douglas
Lindenfelser and Floyd Roden, Supervjsors, Elaine Beatty,
Deputy Clerk, Jerome Perrault, Clerk, Joe Peavey and William
and Sarah (Peavey) Connett were present.
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Norman
Freske.
The Board advised the Peavey Family that they were
interested in purchasing the property to expand the Town Hall
site. Joe Peavey said the family would like to sell the
property this summer however some of the neighbors have
indicated to him that they did not want the Township to
purchase the property as they did not feel the present Town
Hall site was not the right place to build a new Town Hall.
Mr. Peavey said this puts them in an uncomfortable situation
as they do not want hard feelings with the neighbors although
he could understand the Township's reasons for wanting the
property. He said that they did have the property appraised.
but did not indicate what value the appraiser had placed
on the property.
The Board replied that perhaps when they explain to the
neighbors the reasons they wanted to build the new Town. Hall
on the current site, they would be more understanding of the
reasons the Town Board wishes the purchase the property.
The Peavey Family and the Board agreed to keep each
other informed on matters concerning the property.
On motion the meeting adjourned.
