BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Under Municipal Code, all SAWS property must be declared as surplus by City Council prior to the disposition of the property. Under this process, the request is submitted to Office of EastPoint & Real Estate Services which sends the request and exhibits to departments that provide services to, or construct infrastructure on the properties. The departments respond if there is a need for the property, or if the property can be disposed. If the property has been determined as surplus, SAWS is then authorized to dispose of the property in accordance with Chapter 272 of the Local Government Code. The San Antonio Water System Board of Trustees declared the above-listed properties as surplus to the system.
The San Antonio Water System (SAWS) is requesting that the City declare approximately 9.72487 acres as surplus and authorize the sale of the following properties:
1. 228 Thelka Street, an approximate 0.43 of an acre tract of land described as NCB 3382, Block 2, Lots 43, 44, 45, and 46 in Council District 3.
2. Somerset Road (located between 13801 Somerset Road and 13839 Somerset), an approximate 0.365 of an acre described as CB 4300B Block Lot NE 100 ft of Lot 12 in Council District 4.
3. 335 Azucena Street, an approximate 0.1377 of an acre tract of land described as NCB 8319, Block 9 Lots 85 and 86, Block 9 in Council District 5.
4. 604 E. Hart Street, an approximate 0.17217 of an acre tract of land described as NCB 7760, Block 21 Lot 2 in Council District 5.
5. 6375 Rigsby Avenue, an approximate 8.620 acre tract of land described as the land out of the Nepomacino Montoya Survey No.21, Abstract No. 469, County Block 5132 located in Bexar County outside the city limits.
ISSUE:
This ordinance authorizes the declaration as surplus and disposition of five real properties, approximately 9.72487 acres, owned by the San Antonio Water System (SAWS):
1. An ordinance declaring as surplus and authorizing the disposition of an approximate 0.43 of an acre tract of land described as NCB 3382, Block 2, Lots 43, 44, 45, 46 and 47 known as 228 Thelka Street, in Council District 3.
2. An ordinance declaring as surplus and authorizing the disposition of an approximate 0.365 of an acre described as CB 4300B Block Lot NE 100 ft of Lot 12 known as Somerset Road located between 13801 Somerset Road and 13839 Somerset, in Council District 4.
3. An ordinance declaring as surplus and authorizing the disposition of an approximate 0.1377 of an acre tract of land described as NCB 8319, Block 9 Lots 85 and 86, Block 9 known as 335 Azucena Street, in Council District 5.
4. An ordinance declaring as surplus and authorizing the disposition of an approximate 0.17217 of an acre tract of land described as NCB 7760, Block 21 Lot 2 known as 604 E. Hart Street, in Council District 5.
5. An ordinance declaring as surplus and authorizing the disposition of an approximate 8.620 acre tract of land described as the land out of the Nepomacino Montoya Survey No.21, Abstract No. 469, County Block 5132 known as 6375 Rigsby Avenue, located Outside the City Limits (OCL).
These actions are consistent with City Code and Ordinances requiring City Council approval for the disposition and disposal of any surplus property.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could choose not to approve this request; however, this would prevent the SAWS Board of Trustees from disposing these properties which are no longer necessary for the operation of the San Antonio Water System and would require SAWS to continue the maintenance of the properties.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the City related to the sale of the surplus property. All revenue associated with the sale of property will go to SAWS who owns and controls said surplus property.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the declaration as surplus and authorization to dispose of five real properties owned by the San Antonio Water System.
The SAWS Board reviewed and authorized this disposition as per SAWS Resolution 13-224.
The City of San Antonio's Planning Commission will review this request at its regular meeting on August 13, 2014.
