With Supervisor Art Jensen representing the Fair Board, Brown asked if agreement had been reached regarding the request from Ormson's to acquire land currently owned by St. Croix County and used for the County Fair for construction of a new grocery store. Jensen said that agreement had been reached the previous evening and asked Tim- merman to detail provisions of the accord (see attached). After this was completed it was noted that the Fair Board, Ormson's and Super Valu were in agreement with this and that it will shortly be presented to the City of Glenwood City. Noting that time is not of the essence here with construction not scheduled to begin until late fall, a motion was made by Boche, seconded by Oemichen to approve the agreement as detailed and move to the County Board in May for it's consideration. Motion carried. Supervisors Ron Raymond and Art Jensen appeared before the Committee regarding the request by the Town of Kinnickinnic to purchase up to twenty-five (25) acres of land from the Youth Forest in the Town. Raymond said that the Resource and Education Committee had approved the transfer after an on -site review had been accomplished. After some discussion, a motion was made by Bradley, seconded by Burke, to authorize an appraisal of up to twenty-five acres as described with the Town to pay the cost of the appraisal. Krizek questioned whether timber harvest should be considered here. Raymond noted that a good bit of that had been done a few years ago and that the Town has no desire to remove any more trees than necessary for their purposes. Brown said he felt it necessary to have the parcel appraised to maintain consistency with previ- ous sales of county -owned land and it was noted that the appraiser selected must be certified. Motion carried. A motion was made by Boche, seconded by Bradley, to adjourn at 8:25 A.M. Motion carried. LuVerne J. Burke, Secretary II IIIID1�1111111 TO: Sue Nelson, County Clerk ST.
