COUNCIL DISTRICTS IMPACTED: Council District 6
SUBJECT:
Disposition: SAWS Sale of Surplus Property
SUMMARY:
Consideration of an ordinance authorizing the declaration as surplus and disposition of a tract of real property consisting of a 5.96 acre tract of land including a free standing commercial building (NCB 15329, Block 2, Lot 2) more commonly known as the Albertson's at State Highway 151 and Potranco Road, 8764 State Highway 151.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
SAWS is a municipal owned utility. SAWS follows the same procedure under Municipal Code as City departments that want to declare property as surplus. The request is submitted to CIMS Real Estate who 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 is determined as surplus, SAWS is then authorized to dispose of the properties in accordance with Chapter 272 of the Local Government Code.
The San Antonio Water System Board of Trustees declared the subject property as surplus to the system and authorized disposal of the property through Resolution 12-304 dated June 5, 2012.
The property was canvassed through City departments and utility agencies and was determined to be surplus to the needs of the City.
SAWS purchased the property for a Service Center; however, due to growth in the area there was too much traffic to utilize the property for a Service Center.
