RL: Certain Powcrs of the City of Rosemount Port Authority
_
This mcrno is in regard ta y�ur quesuons about certain p�wers of lhe Roseinount Port
Authority.
1, Citv Councii Control
Laws 1991� chapter 291, arucle 21, section 17, autl�orized the city council of the city of
Rosernount to cstablish� by resolution, a port authority� and dc.ccritsed ti�c procedural
rtyuiremcnts for adopring thc ciiabling resolution. Thc fimitauon of powers of the pc,rt
authority rr�y bc dcter�nineci by thc city councit as provided in subdivision 2, of sccrion 17.
Ttus stales that thc cnablin� resotution inay impose linutations upon dic acrions of thc pon
- autl�ority as enumerated, including thc stipulation that the pon authority shall not exercise any
specified powcrs contained in Minnesota Statutes, sections 46y.OQl to 469.U47 (Housing and
Redcvelopmcnt Authorities) and 469.048 to 469.�68 (Port Authorities) or that the port
�uthority shall not exercisc any powers witliout the prior approval of the city council. Sec
subdivision 2 (I enclose a copy of thc entire act�.
2. C�ndemnation Power and Relocation Assistance
Minnes�ta Statutes, seetion 469.OS9, subdivision 2, authorizcs a port authority to acquirc
pro�erty by scvcral devices i��cluding condemnation. Subdivision 4 of thut secuon authorizes
a part authority to exercise tt�e rigtit o�` cminent dorilain under Minnesota Statutes, ehapt�r
217 (Eminent Domuin) to acquire pzoperty if i[ is autharized to acquire by condemnatie�n.
Thus a port authority may acquire property hy condemnation,
Minne.cota Statutes, secdon 117.52 provides that ii� all acquisitiot�s undertaken by any
acquirin� authority �in tlie case statcd, the �ort authority) in which, due to lac:k of federal
�inancial participation, relocation as�istance, serviccs, payments and bcnefits under federal law
arc not ava.ilable, the acquirin� authority, as a cost of acquisition, must prvvidc reloczrian

assistance, scrviccs, paymcnts and bGnefits rcquired by fcdcral law following a public hcaring
and commcnt.
Again, from your dcscription, I undcrstand that thc port autharity is thc acquiring authoriry as
contemplatcd in the eininent domain description.
3. Qpen Meetin� Law
The descripEion and interprctation of entities that arc under thc provisions of the Minnesota
Opcn Mceting Law (Minnesota Statutes, scction 471.705) is braud. Port authority
commissions no doubt fall within these provisions.
It is noted that Roscmount's enabling legislation also auttiorizes the city council to grant to
the port authority thc powers of a housing and redevclopment authority and thc port authority
may constitute an "agency" tt�at may administer one or more rnunicipal development disaiccs
untier Minnesota Statutes, section 460.110 (At�ea Redcvelopmcnt).
