Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of DCD, or designee, is authorized to sign a Purchase and Sale Agreement, 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 Land Disposition Report and this resolution; and, be it
