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. Joseph S. Foreman of 2816 N. Michigan Street, Toledo, Ohio 43611, has appropriately applied for acquisition of vacant city landbank parcel at 2830 N. Michigan Street. In the block in which Mr. Foreman resides, he has already purchased eleven vacant parcels to maintain along with his residence. The additional lots will provide added greenspace and lot expansion. The negotiated sale price for these parcels is One Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($150.00) plus recording and transfer fees.

SECTION 1. That the Mayor and the Real Estate Division of the Department of Development are authorized to execute needed instruments for the sale and conveyance of the real estate located at 2830 N.

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 to Joseph S. Foreman for maintenance and re-use with their property.
