Resolution
ITEM:
Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 2126. A resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis, Arizona, relinquishing the remaining property known as Friendship Park (5.22 acres) to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) for incorporation into the San Luis Arizona Land Port of Entry 1. (Kay Marion Macuil, City Attorney)
SUMMARY:
On December 20, 2019, the U.S. Congress and the U.S. President approved $152.4 million dollars to build improvements to the San Luis, Arizona Land Port of Entry 1, (POE-1). GSA is moving forward with the project and will need the land of Friendship Park to build the Port. The form of resolution has been cleared through GSA and BLM. Staff recommends approval of this resolution since improvements to POE-1 will lessen wait times at the border which in turn will spur economic development for San Luis and the region.
RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:
I MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 2126.
