This resolution authorizes the sale of City-owned Commercial Property according to the conditions in a Land Disposition Report pursuant to Sections 304-49-5 and 304-49-8, Milwaukee Code of Ordinances.

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Land Disposition Report is 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 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
