Whereas, The City of Milwaukee (“City”) acquired the property at 420 East North Avenue (the “Property”) through property tax foreclosure on July 26, 1999; and

 

Whereas, The Department of City Development (“DCD”) accepted an unsolicited Proposal to Purchase the Property and DCD recommends sale to Ryan Champagne (the “Buyer”), or its assignee, to acquire and combine the Property with the abutting improved parcel at 416 East North Avenue 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 costs and expenses incurred.
