the amount of $2,500.00 for damages by reason of the taking by the
Village of said Parcel 51, and
WHEREAS, both the landowners and the Village have appealed from
the commissioners' award as to damages, and

said Parcel No. 51 in consideration for a total payment to them by
the Village of $4,250.00, and

said landowners of $4,250.00.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the Village Council of the
Village of Mendota Heights as follows:

and directed to execute any and all papers and documents
