Discussion and possible action for Webb County, by Order, to waive all delinquent taxes, including penalty, interest and attorney fees, owed to Webb County on the real property legally described as Lot 9 & 10, Block 2, El Cenizo Unit 1 & 1E, Webb County, Texas, or more commonly known as 621 Hernandez, El Cenizo, Texas in the amount of $7,383.06, and for Webb County to transfer its property interest in said property to the City of El Cenizo, Texas with the understanding and agreement that the City of El Cenizo will use said real property to build an inner-city park. [Executive Session may be requested pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.072 (Deliberation Regarding Real Property)]

Issue: Webb County owns an interest in the Property along with the United Independent School District and the City of El Cenizo by virtue of a Sheriff's Deed since August 2015.  The City of El Cenizo has approached Webb County about donating its property interest in said property to the City of El Cenizo who will be seeking to build a park on said property.

Solution: Webb County waives the ad valorem taxes owed them and transfers its property interest in a Special Warranty Deed to the City of El Cenizo with the condition that it be used as a public park, otherwise the property would revert to Webb County.   

Result: El Cenizo would be able to build a city park as outright owner of the property.

Carina Hernandez, approached Webb County to see if the county would donate its property interest and waive all county delinquent taxes owed on the property known as 621 Hernandez in El Cenizo, Texas as the City of El Cenizo is seeking to build an inner-city park on said property.
