AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING CLOSING UNDER A PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR THE SALE OF 227 SOUTH CENTRAL AVENUE

Interim City Manager Watson reported that the developer and the City are ready to proceed to closing, scheduled this week, for the sale of 227 South Central Avenue. As the parties work with the title company to ensure everything is ready for closing, due to both the passage of time (two years since the execution of the Purchase and Sale Agreement) and the fact that the prior ordinances do not expressly empower the Interim City Manager to complete the closing, staff and legal counsel are asking for the Board’s approval and express authorization for the Interim City Manager to execute the necessary ancillary documents, which would include the escrow agreement, and effectuate the closing in a manner consistent with the Board’s prior approval of the original Purchase and Sale Agreement and the subsequent two amendments.

While the Purchase and Sale Agreement, and subsequent amendments have been properly authorized by the Board of Aldermen, staff believes it to be in the City’s best interests to adopt the attached ordinance, which expressly authorizes the Interim City Manager to execute the necessary documents (which includes the escrow agreement) and effectuate a closing to avoid any question whether the Board has authorized (i) the closing to proceed, (ii) the Interim City Manager to sign documents, and (iii) the $50,000 median escrow to be required.

Alderman Winings introduced Bill No. 6761, an ordinance authorizing the Interim City Manager to execute the ancillary documents required to close the sale of 227 S. Central Avenue to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Lintz seconded.
