AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Meeting Date: November 13, 2006
From: Edward F. Smyth, Jr., Assistant City Manager
Subject: Resolution authorizing second extension of closing date with Benjamin Garcia, Jr. & Ronald L. Hart, Jr.
Staff Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution to extend the closing date for property the City purchased from Mr. Garcia and Mr. Hart
Analysis:
On June 12, 2006. the City entered into a contract for the purchase of the approximately 18.263 square feet 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 complete a quiet title action prior to closing. This is a reasonable request and we anticipate that the closing should occur on or before January 31, 2007.
The City Attorney advises that this is a common occurrence when property is acquired through a tax deed and the requested time to complete the quiet title action is reasonable.
Options:
1. Adopt the attached resolution; or
2. Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact to this action.
