SHAKOPE E
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kris Wilson, Acting City Administrator
DATE: 04/21/2015
SUBJECT: Response to SMSC Fee to Trust Application (D)
Action Sought
The Council is asked to authorize the appropriate officials to sign the attached letter
regarding the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community's application to move a
parcel of land into trust status.
Background
The City recently received the attached letter from the Bureau of Indian Affairs
notifying us of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community's (SMSC) request to
move a parcel of land from fee to trust status. The parcel is approximately 20 acres
in size and lies west of McKenna Rd and south of County Rd. 16. It was originally
acquired by Scott County and then traded to the SMSC as part of a land swap for
right-of-way needed along County Rd. 83 and County Rd. 16.
The parcel is surrounded on all four sides by land that is already held in trust for
the SMSC. As such, there appears to be little reason for the City to object to it
being moved into trust status.
Relationship to Vision
This item relates to Goal D: Maintain, improve and create strong partnerships with
other public and private sector entities.
Recommendation
I recommend that the appropriate officials be authorized to sign the attached letter
on behalf of the City.
Requested Action
The Council is asked to authorize the appropriate officials to sign the attached letter
regarding the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community's application to move a
parcel of land into trust status.
