Bruce Hokanson opened up discussion  on the purchase of the property at SW ¼ NE ¼  S35T 49N R5W.

Jeff Pennucci from the DNR spoke on the way the process  worked on purchasing property for the DNR. The property would remain on the tax role. The price of the property was set by the DNR’s Appraiser based on the sale of five other similar properties in the area. He also stated that they only purchase property from a willing seller and that they do not go out and try to find property to buy. They have areas that they would like to purchase for the preservation of these properties.

One of the major concerns was the upkeep of the property after the purchase. Jeff said that the DNR was working on this but suggested to write a letter to the DNR about our concerns.

Kim Bro was going to take the task up to write the letter and get a copy to Bruce Hokanson to sign.

Motion and a second to adjourn.
