This action is consistent with City Code and Ordinances, which require City Council approval for the sale or disposition of City-owned or controlled real property.
ALTERNATIVES:
Planning Commission could choose not to approve this request; however, that would disallow NEISD from utilizing and creating a functional and regularly used space. Also, the City’s liability would continue indefinitely.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The property was listed on Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for sale and the only offer received was from the Petitioner. The City of San Antonio and the purchaser have agreed on a sale price of $550.00. The City of San Antonio will collect these monies and deposit into the General Fund in accordance with FY 2018 Adopted Budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this request to declare as surplus and sell City-owned real property located near Broadway Street and Tesoro Drive, in Council District 10, to NEISD for a total of $550.00.
