Disposition: Declaration of surplus property located on Blanco Road
SUMMARY:
An ordinance authorizing the declaration as surplus and disposition of an unimproved, approximately 0.175 acre tract of land owned by the San Antonio Water System, located on Blanco Road and along the Olmos Creek Drainage Right of Way, adjacent to NCB 10353 in Council District 1.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The San Antonio Water System (SAWS) is requesting that the City declare as surplus and authorize SAWS to dispose of an unimproved, approximately 0.175 acre tract of land (7,623 square feet) adjacent to NCB 10353, along the Olmos Creek Drainage Right of Way (ROW) at Blanco Road as shown on attached Exhibit A. This property was sold to SAWS in 1979.
SAWS is a municipally owned utility and follows the same procedure under Municipal Code as City departments that want to declare property as surplus. The request is submitted to Office of EastPoint and Real Estate who sends the request and exhibits to departments that provide services to, or construct infrastructure on the property. 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 property in accordance with Chapter 272 of the Local Government Code.
The property was canvassed through City departments and utility agencies and was determined to be surplus to the needs of the City.
ISSUE:
This ordinance will authorize declaration as surplus and disposition of an unimproved, approximately 0.175 acre tract of land owned by the San Antonio Water System, located on Blanco Road and along the Olmos Creek Drainage ROW, adjacent to NCB 10353 in Council District 1.
