Body

Whereas, The City of Milwaukee (“City”) foreclosed on the property at 6302 West Richmond Avenue due to delinquent property taxes; and

Whereas, The Department of City Development (“DCD”) recommended that the property be marketed for sale; and

Whereas, Edward Miller has submitted an unsolicited offer to purchase the property to rehabilitate it for use as a rental property; and

Whereas, The former owner currently occupying the property is a neighborhood friend of Mr. Miller; and

Whereas, Mr. Miller desires to keep the former owner from becoming displaced and will rehabilitate the property as summarized in a Land Disposition Report, a copy of which is attached to this Common Council File; and

Whereas, Section 304-49-8 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances allows the City to accept unsolicited offers to purchase property when the City receives fair compensation, whether monetary or non-monetary; and

Whereas, DCD has reviewed the offer and the rehabilitation proposal and has determined that the proposal represents fair compensation to the City in terms of investment in the neighborhood; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the unsolicited offer to purchase submitted by Edward Miller for the property at 6302 West Richmond Avenue is accepted; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of DCD, or designee, is authorized to close the transaction according to the terms of the Land Disposition Report; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of DCD, or designee, is authorized to execute an Offer to Purchase, deed and all needed closing documents, including any needed easements and/or releases of deed restrictions; and, be it
