Title

Resolution declaring the improved, tax-deed properties at 313 East Burleigh Street and 2914 North 14th Street surplus to municipal needs and authorizing sale to St. Timothy’s Community Baptist Church, in the 6th Aldermanic District.

Analysis

This resolution declares said properties surplus to municipal needs and authorizes sale as a special use pursuant to Section 304-49-2, Milwaukee Code of Ordinances.

Body

Whereas, The Department of City Development (“DCD”) recommended that the improved, tax-deed properties at 313 East Burleigh Street and 2914 North 14th Street be demolished, but subsequently received an unsolicited Offer to Purchase from St. Timothy’s Community Baptist Church (“St. Timothy’s”) to purchase said properties for $750 each for training residents recruited from the surrounding neighborhood in basic carpentry and minor home repair skills; and

Whereas, St. Timothy’s has businesses and construction partners willing to serve as mentor/trainers and craftsmen on the sites; and

Whereas, Said properties require significant rehabilitation, but St. Timothy’s has submitted acceptable scopes of work and evidence of adequate resources to complete the rehabilitation; and

Whereas, After rehabilitation, the homes will be sold to area residents; and

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, DCD has reviewed the submitted documents and recommends acceptance of said Offer; and

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

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the properties at 313 East Burleigh Street and 2914 North 14th Street, Tax Key Nos. 314-1170-000-6 and 311-1052-000-2, respectively, are declared surplus to municipal needs and that the Commissioner of DCD or his designee is authorized to accept the unsolicited Offer to Purchase from St. Timothy’s Community Baptist Church in the amount of $1,500; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the proper City officials are authorized to perform such acts as may be required to consummate the sale of said property and that the proceeds, less sale expenses and a 25 percent disposition cost reimbursement to the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Milwaukee, be credited to the Reserve For Tax Deficit Fund Account No. 0001-334106; and, be it

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