Body
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee (“City”) acquired the tax deed property at 4500-06 West Burleigh Street (the “Property”) on November 7, 2017 through property tax foreclosure; and

Whereas, 3706 Property Investments, LLC (the “Buyer”), or its assigns, submitted an offer to purchase the Property and rehabilitate it as summarized in a Land Disposition Report, a copy of which is attached to this Common Council File; and
Whereas, Section 304-49-3 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances (“MCO”) allows the City of Milwaukee (“City”) to accept offers with the approval of the Common Council; and
Whereas, Section 304-49-11 of the MCO allows the City to sell properties when the City receives fair compensation, whether monetary or non-monetary; and
Whereas, The Buyer’s offer represents fair compensation for the Property due to the Property having severe deferred maintenance and being a blighting influence on the neighborhood; and
Whereas, The Buyer seeks to purchase the property so that business activity and affordable residential uses can be added to the 7th Aldermanic District; and
Whereas, The Department of City Development (“DCD”) has reviewed the Buyer’s offer and has determined that the offer represents fair compensation to the City; now therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the offer submitted by 3706 Property Investments, LLC for the property at 4500-06 West Burleigh Street is accepted; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Department of City Development, or designee, is authorized to sign the Purchase and Sale Agreement, deed and requisite closing documents and to close the transaction; and, be it

Retained funds will be distributed between the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee and the City’s Tax Deficit Fund, with the balance of the proceeds, if any, to be returned to the former owner.
