TITL:
Resolution amending Resolution File Number 980854 relating to the conveyance of a portion of the City-owned property at 2221 West Auer Avenue and a portion of the City-owned property under the jurisdiction of the Milwaukee Board of School Directors at 2319 West Auer Avenue to the Milwaukee Police Athletic League for the construction of a youth activity center.

- Analysis -
This resolution amends the conditions required of the Milwaukee Police Athletic League, Inc., before it is allowed to take ownership of portions of 2 City-owned properties for the purpose of constructing a youth activity center. Resolution File Number 980854, adopted October 9, 1998, requires the League to demonstrate that it has sufficient funds available to complete the center before December 31, 2001, before taking ownership of the properties. This resolution removes this precondition, effectively authorizing the transfer of the properties to the League, but provides that, if the center is not completed by December 31, 2001, the ownership of both properties would revert to the City.
BODY:
Whereas, By Resolution File Number 980854, adopted October 9, 1998, the Common Council authorized the conveyance of 2 City-owned properties, one at 2221 West Auer Avenue and the other at 2319 West Auer Avenue, to the Milwaukee Police Athletic League, Inc., (MPAL), subject to certain conditions, for the purpose of constructing a youth activity center; and
Whereas, One of the conditions for the conveyance of the properties required that the MPAL provide satisfactory evidence that it had funds available to complete construction of the proposed center before December 31, 2001; and
Whereas, The MPAL, because it does not yet own the properties, has been unable to complete a necessary Phase II environmental assessment of the properties, without which the MPAL is unable to determine whether it has sufficient funds available to complete construction of the center or not; and
Whereas, The MPAL has so far raised over $2.7 million for construction of the center; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee that Resolution File Number 980854, adopted October 9, 1998, is amended by deleting the first "Further Resolved" clause and inserting in lieu thereof the following:
"Further Resolved, That said properties shall be conveyed to the Milwaukee Police Athletic League, Inc., for $1 and other valuable considerations provided the Police Athletic League meets the following contingencies:
1. Submission to, and approval by, the Department of City Development of site and building plans.
2. Closing of the sale within 18 months of the adoption of this resolution by the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee. If construction of the center is not completed by December 31, 2001, the conveyance shall be null and void and the ownership of the properties shall revert to the City of Milwaukee.
