SUBJECT APPROVAL OF OPTION TO PURCHASE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT CONTRACT
TO FACILITATE THE DIRECT SALE OF LAKE WORTH LEASE PROPERTY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve the Option to Purchase
and Purchase Agreement contract, with the Lessees of the Lake Worth lease properties listed on
Exhibit "A" to facilitate the direct sale of eligible Lake Worth lease properties. (See attached contract
and Exhibit "A")
DISCUSSION:
On July 15, 2001, House Bill No. 1490 was signed into law and went into effect. This amendment to
the Texas Local Government Code, Section 272.001(h), allows a municipality having a population of
575,000 or less and owning land within 5,000 feet of the shoreline of a lake, without notice or the
solicitation of bids, to sell the land to the persons leasing the land for the fair market value of the land.
In December 2001 , City staff prepared an Informal Report to the City Council (Informal Report No. 8376
attached as Exhibit "B") which provided an update on the status of the sale of lease lots, and also
recommended a four-year Lease Lot Sales Plan and a Water/Sewer Infrastructure Improvement Plan
around Lake Worth. This sales plan includes 268 residential properties with an estimated market value
of$4.7 million.
In order to facilitate the direct sale of the residential Lake Worth lease properties, it is recommended
that a sales option contract be executed with the Lessees for the properties eligible for sale. The sales
option will allow the existing lessees to purchase their leased properties at today's fair market value
adjusted annually upward by 2% per year until sold by the City in accordance with the recommended
timeline outlined in Informal Report No. 8376.
The properties eligible for this contract are listed on the attached Exhibit "A". The option fee provided in
the contract is $500.
Due to the proximity of the Joint Reserve Base/Naval Air Station, an avigation easement will be
reserved on behalf of the public and incorporated into the Special Warranty Deed used to convey these
properties.
Proceeds from the sale of these City-owned Lake Worth lease properties will be deposited in a Lake
Worth Infrastructure Fund Account in accordance with M&C G-12916 dated May 16, 2000. The
proceeds are escrowed and designated for water and wastewater improvements within the area of the
City of Fort Worth surrounding and adjoining Lake Worth.
