Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The City operates a Land Reutilization Program pursuant to Section 187.19(a) of the Toledo Municipal Code which authorizes the City to accept nonproductive land and dispose of same pursuant to Chapter 5722 of the Ohio Revised Code. The Department of Economic & Business Development oversees the review and processing of the program. Tracey K. Britt of 3920 Fairwood Drive, Sylvania, Ohio 43560, has approached the City with the desire to acquire the vacant landbank parcels at 2231, 2235, 2237, 2241 and 2243 Bakewell Street to create a park for the neighborhood kids to enjoy. The intent for the park would include a mini “Safety City” educational course, play area and benches for parents to watch their children at play. Ms. Britt is currently the Community Services Officer assigned to East Toledo and with a focus on sustainability the property would be improved using Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles. The negotiated sale price for each parcel is One Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($150.00) plus recording and transfer fees.

That the Mayor and the Real Estate Division of the Department of Economic and Business Development are authorized to execute needed instruments for the sale and conveyance of the real estate located at 2231, 2235, 2237, 2241 and 2243 Bakewell Street as is more fully described in Exhibit “A” and Exhibit “B” attached hereto and made a part hereof, to Tracey K.

SECTION 4. That this Council approves the Agreement, including the sale and conveyance of said real estate provided for therein, notwithstanding and as an exception to the notice and bidding provisions of Chapter 187.19 of the Toledo Municipal Code. The reason for the waiver and exception is that the property is not needed for any municipal purpose and that combine and re-use of this property with the adjacent property is found to be the highest and best use to return the property to a tax producing status.
SECTION 5. That the Mayor is authorized to execute and deliver such deeds, certifications and instruments as are necessary to carry out the Agreement and the Director of Development, Director of Law, Director of Finance, Clerk of Council and other appropriate officials of this City are authorized to enter into, execute and deliver such other agreements, instruments, documents and certificates and to take such other lawful action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to fully implement the Agreement.

SECTION 8. That this Ordinance is declared to be an emergency measure and shall take effect and be in force immediately from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that same is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property and for the further reason that this Ordinance must be immediately effective to facilitate sale and conveyance of the property(s) to Tracey K. Britt for maintenance and re-use.
