AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Meeting Date: August 14, 2006
From: Edward F. Smyth, Jr., Assistant City Manager
Subject: Resolution authorizing Extension of Closing Date between Benjamin Garcia, Jr. & Ronald L. Hart, Jr., as Sellers, and the City of Leesburg, Florida, as Buyer
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing an extension of the closing date to November 7, 2006
Analysis:
On June 12, 2006, the City entered into a contract for the purchase of approximately 18.263 square feet located in Section 22, Township 19, Range 25, Lot 11, Lake Harris Estates.
The sellers have encountered problems with providing a marketable title and have requested additional time to conduct a quiet title action prior to closing. This is a reasonable request and staff anticipates the closing should occur on or before November 7, 2006. This is a common occurrence when property is acquired through a tax deed.
Options:
1. Adopt the attached resolution;
2. Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to this action.
