- Department:
- Civil Legal Division
Subject:
Discussion and possible action to accept the donation of one (1) 20’ x 8’ metal shipping container currently located on Webb County real property under lease to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) pursuant to the Texas Local Government Code section 81.032 (Acceptance of Donation). [No Impact on the General Fund]
Issue: USDA has informed Webb County that USDA will no longer continue to lease the approximately two (2) acres of real property off the Mines Road. USDA has indicated to County staff that they will abandon the 20-foot container located on the premises and, as per the lease Agreement, the property will then be turned over to Lessor (Webb County).
Solution: Recommendation is to authorize the acceptance of abandoned property as GSA will declare the shipping container as surplus property and transfer owners through the use of the appropriate GSA form.
