Whereas, Section 304-49-2, Milwaukee Code of Ordinances, permits the City of Milwaukee to sell properties such as these to non-profit, community-based organizations for rehabilitation for affordable housing; and

Whereas, The City Plan Commission has determined that the properties are surplus to municipal needs; now, therefore, be it

Further Resolved, That in the event the buyer is unable to complete the purchase of said properties, disposition automatically reverts to sale via the open listing method without further action by the Common Council; and, be it

Further Resolved, That as a condition of the sale of the surplus properties, purchaser is required to bring property into compliance with applicable building codes within the time specified by the Department of Neighborhood Services or said properties may revert to the ownership of the City of Milwaukee upon action by the Common Council; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of the Department of City Development is authorized and directed to perform such acts as may be required to consummate the sale of said properties and that the proceeds be credited, less closing related expenses and a 25 percent disposition cost reimbursement to the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee, to the Reserve For Tax Deficit Fund Account No. 0001-334106.
