Title

Resolution authorizing the sale of the City-owned tax deed property at 912 West Burleigh Street, in the 6th Aldermanic District.

Analysis

This resolution authorizes the sale of City-owned Development Property according to the conditions in a Land Disposition Report pursuant to Section 304-49-3-b-1 and 304-49-6, Milwaukee Code of Ordinances.

Body

Whereas, The City of Milwaukee (“City”) acquired the mixed-use building at 912 West Burleigh Street (the “Property”) through property tax foreclosure on April 14, 2022; and

Whereas, The Department of City Development (“DCD”) advertised the Property for sale on its website and through MLS; and

Whereas, DCD accepted offers on a continuous basis until an acceptable offer was received and DCD recommends sale to Z Luxury Living, LLC (the “Buyer”), or its assignee, to acquire and rehabilitate into office and residential rental space the Property as summarized in a Land Disposition Report (“LDR”) and a Due Diligence Checklist (“DDC”), copies of which are attached to this Common Council File; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the LDR and DDC are approved and that DCD is authorized to enter into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PASA”) with the Buyer, or assignee, materially consistent with the LDR and then convey the Property to the Buyer, or assignee, in accordance therewith; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of DCD, or designee, is authorized to sign the PASA, deed and requisite closing documents and to close the transaction and to take such actions as may be needed to effectuate the terms of the LDR and this resolution; and, be it

Further Resolved, That at closing, subtracted from the sale proceeds and retained by the City, will be the amount of property taxes, interest, and fees owned; and all cost and expenses incurred. 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.
