Whereas, Walnut Way Conservation Corp., in conjunction with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Soil Science, desires to develop an urban agriculture research site and has submitted an unsolicited offer to purchase the vacant lots at 2125 and 2133 North 17th Street; and

Whereas, Section 304-49-7 of the Milwaukee Code of Ordinances allows the City of Milwaukee (“City”) to accept unsolicited offers to purchase property when the City receives fair compensation, whether monetary or non-monetary; and

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of DCD, or designee, is authorized to accept the unsolicited offer to purchase submitted by Walnut Way Conservation Corp. for the City-owned vacant lots at 2125 and 2133 North 17th Street for purchase and development as outlined in the Land Disposition Report; and, be it

Further Resolved, That the Commissioner of DCD, or designee, is authorized to close the transaction, release any deed restrictions that inhibit development and other legal documents on behalf of the City and to close the transaction according to the terms of the Land Disposition Report; and, be it
