to develop and construct other City facilities including a future automobile impoundment center. The Police Department will be able to consolidate
patrol operations from 2500 N. Houston Street and 4651 N. Main Street once a new facility is constructed at this site.
An appraisal of the property was prepared by an independent fee appraiser and a negotiated agreement has been reached with the property
owner. This Mayor and Council Communication authorizes the purchase of a total of 61 acres of land, more or less, in the amount of $6,600,000.00
and pay estimated closing costs up to $40,000.00.
Upon City Council approval, Staff will proceed with acquiring the fee simple interest in the property except for the mineral estate.
