The City has acquired fourteen of the original total of forty- eight privately-owned properties in the area to date.

Intergration of this property is essential for the future development of the Fort Worth Natrue Center and Refuge.

An independent appraisal was obtained to establish the fair market value of the property.The owner has agreed to sell the property and improvements and has signed the City's sale and purchase contract in the amount of$177,500.00. The real estate taxes will be pro-rated with the seller responsible for taxes due up to the closing date.The City will pay closing costs up to$7,500.00. There will be no assistance of relocation allowance or moving cost to the sellers as this is a voluntary sale.

The action in this M&C will amend the FY2021-2025 Capital Improvement Program as approved in connection with Ordinance 24446-09-2020. Upon City Council approval,staff will proceed with acquiring the fee simple interest and the mineral estate will be retained by the Seller. This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
