Agenda Item
Resolution - City Manager:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a Donation Agreement for real property associated with the future Texas State Veterans Cemetery, and delegating to the City Manager, the authority to execute necessary or related documents associated with this conveyance.
Item Summary
In April 2022, the Lubbock City Council approved the donation of approximately 100 acres of City-owned land for the purpose of constructing and operating a Texas State Veterans Cemetery. Title to this land will pass to the Texas General Land Office, acting on behalf of the Texas Veterans Land Board, with a reversion clause that returns the property to the City of Lubbock should it not be used for a Texas State Veterans Cemetery.
On February 24, 2023, the City received notice that the United States Veterans Administration will provide funding to the Texas Veterans Land Board for the construction of the cemetery. Future operations of the cemetery will be funded by the Texas Veterans Land Board through a local partnership agreement.
This item approves the Mayor and City Manager to complete the property transfer to the Texas General Land Office and meet the required federal project schedules.
Fiscal Impact
Minor costs associated with the title policy, survey, and filing, will be funded in appropriate departmental budgets.
Staff/Board Recommending
W. Jarrett Atkinson, City Manager
