SUMMARY:
Consideration of a resolution authorizing the sale and disposition of an OUR SA owned surplus property at 114 Henry, in City Council District 1 to Raul Ibarra, Jr.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The OUR SA owned surplus property located at 114 Henry is legally described as Lot 21, Block, NCB 6684, City of San Antonio, and Bexar County, Texas.
