| | | | | | | | | SUMMARY
| A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to sell the city-owned land at 610 W Columbia Avenue, Parcel #0614-19-221-0, as well as vacant land the City is purchasing pursuant to Resolution 190 approved 9/5/2017 from the State of Michigan, located on Columbia Avenue and LaVista Blvd to Philip VanVranken for $125,000.
| BUDGETARY CONSIDERATIONS
| The City will be paid $125,000 for the sale of this property; however, we will also be responsible for the cost of demolition of the structure on the property which is anticipated will cost $26,900; $36,000 for the purchase of the vacant land from the State of Michigan; and other closing costs which are not anticipated to exceed $2,000.
The revenue from the sale of the property will go to 401.50.1401.673.010.
The cost of the demolition will be paid from: 401.50.4200.801.310.
The purchase of the vacant land from the state will be paid from: 401.50.4200.971.010. |
HISTORY, BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION
| Many of the Michigan State Police (MSP) posts were located on property containing reversionary clauses indicating that if it ever ceased to be used as an MSP post, then the property would revert to the municipality. MSP ceased using this property as a post and it reverted to the City pursuant to the terms of the 1938 deed. The City has had this property listed for sale for several years since it has no use for it, and this is the highest and best offer for the City.
| DISCUSSION OF THE ISSUE
|
| POSITIONS
| | The City Manager's office is in support of this sale and resolution. |
