Date duly 8, 1996
Item/Subject: Amending Council Order Authorizing City Manager to
Execute Municipal Quitclaim Deed Releasing Title to Property
Located at 144-146 Cumberland Street (Tax Map 48, Lot 29)
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary
On May 13, 1996 the Council approved an order authorizing release
of the City's interest in property at 144-146 Cumberland Street.
Certain restrictions in the Order have proven to be an impediment
to the sale. This amendment removes the reverter provision from
the earlier Council Order. The property is currently placarded.
It is in the City's interest for the property to be sold,
rehabilitated and restored to the tax rolls. The amended Council
Order,.like the first, is that the property will be brought in
compliance with Code requirements.
