RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the acquisition of a 0.38 acre tract of land located at 501 West Felix Street from the United States General Services Administration in the amount of $38,400.00 for the New Public Safety Training Facility. DISCUSSION: In order to facilitate primary access to the new Public Safety Training Center under development near the intersection of Hemphill Street and Felix Street, it has become necessary to acquire a 0.38 acre tract of land adjacent to Fetix Street, located at 501 West Felix Street, from the United States General Services Administration (GSA). The City currently has an access easement from the GSA across this tract; however, it is in the City's long-term interest to own the property in fee. The GSA has deemed this tract of land to be surplus property and available for disposal to public agencies who want to use the property for a public use. The GSA has set a value of $38,400.00 for this 0.38 acre tract, which Staff determines to be reasonable based upon the amount previously paid for the original 75 acres ($6.425 million). Funding for this property acquisition comes from the design-build contractor's contingency funds under the previously appropriated project budget amount (M&C C-25798), and the design-build contractor consents to this use of the contingency. This property is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 9, Mapsco 91J. FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION: The Financial Management Services Director certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Public Safety Training Facility Fund.
