Title
Substitute resolution declaring improved, tax-deed property surplus to municipal needs and authorizing sales in various aldermanic districts.
Analysis
This substitute resolution authorizes the Commissioner of City Development to dispose of improved, tax-deed property in accordance with the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances and with supplemental procedures described herein.
Body
Whereas, Chapter 304-49 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances ("Code") specifies the disposition process for surplus, City-owned real estate; and
Whereas, The Common Council of the City of Milwaukee ("Common Council") has, by adoption of resolution and other policy direction, supplemented the Code with procedural steps designed to streamline the process for returning property back to the tax roll and into the hands of responsible parties; and
Whereas, Those steps in the surplus property disposition process can be summarized as follows:
After the City Plan Commission declares property surplus to municipal needs and the Common Council approves an asking price, the Department of City Development ("DCD") shall market property in the following preferential order:
1. To qualified nonprofit organizations who can purchase property prior to being placed on the market either at the specified asking price if over $10,000, or for $750 if valued at $10,000 or less, provided that the proposed use and the contemplated improvements are deemed to be compatible with neighborhood context in all respects. (Whenever a nonprofit organization is acting as a facilitator of a transaction for a homebuyer/owner-occupant, DCD may convey property directly to a third party deemed qualified by the nonprofit organization.)
2. If there is no nonprofit organization interest, area residents shall be given an exclusive opportunity to purchase property for 30 days prior to property being exposed to the open market.
3. If no acceptable area resident offers are received, property shall be advertised to the general public with stipulated bid due dates via an open listing method.
4. If no acceptable offers are received after initial open listing, property then goes on an extended listing and offers can be accepted at any time on a first-come basis.
; and
Whereas, The City Plan Commission and the Public Improvements Committee have determined that the following properties have no possible municipal use:
