| TO: | City of New Port Richey City Council | | FROM: | Debbie L. Manns, City Manager | | DATE: | 9/5/2017 | | RE: | Purchase of Pine Hill Road Property |
REQUEST:
The request is to authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement for the purchase of two contiguous parcels of rectangular-shaped land that totals 0.34 acres and is situated on the north side of Pine Hill Road, west of Congress Street.
DISCUSSION:
For some time now, the city has been in discussions with West Pasco Little League in respect to their interest in establishing a parking area just north of Plummer Field. In that regard there are two undeveloped parcels of land situated adjacent to the Union Missionary Baptist Church as shown on the attachments to this communication. In that respect a contact was made with the property owners and after much discussion it was agreed that the purchase price for the properties would be $28,000.00. As a consequence to the agreement and as had been previously arranged, the West Pasco Little League submitted an earnest money deposit in the amount of $2,000.00 per lot.
For your information an environmental site assessment report has been completed and the results are indicative of a site suitable for a parking area.
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation is to authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement for the purchase of parcels 28-25-16-0010-05800-0140 and 28-25-16-0010-05800-0160 for an amount not to exceed $ 26,000.00.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
The funding to cover this expenditure is provided through use of the FY 2016-2017 Capital Improvement Project Budget.
