Weatherford approves purchase agreement for roughly 69.334-acre tract near I-20
Summary
After executive session deliberation under the Texas Government Code, the Weatherford City Council approved a purchase and sale agreement to acquire an approximately 69.334-acre tract from Baylor Healthcare System at the northeast corner of Bankhead Highway and I-20 and authorized the city manager to execute closing documents.
The Weatherford City Council voted to approve a purchase and sale agreement between Baylor Healthcare System (the seller) and the City of Weatherford (the purchaser) for an approximately 69.334-acre tract located near the northeast corner of Bankhead Highway and Interstate 20. The council authorized the city manager to execute the purchase agreement and all closing-related documents.
The matter was discussed in executive session under the Texas Government Code for deliberation regarding real property (agenda item 9a). Mayor Pro Tem Heidi Wilder moved the motion to approve the purchase and sale agreement; Council member Zach Smith seconded. The motion carried and the council voted to approve the purchase (individual vote tallies were not recorded in the public meeting transcript).
Council did not take action on the second executive-session item (economic development negotiations, listed as item 9b) at the reconvened public session.
The purchase motion included specific authorization for the city manager to execute closing documents related to the acquisition; the transcript does not state the purchase price, funding source or closing schedule. The agenda language identified the tract as approximately 69.334 acres and generally located at the northeast corner of Bankhead Highway and I-20.
Because the item was deliberated in executive session, council did not discuss details of negotiations during the open meeting. After returning to open session council members placed the motion and approved the purchase and sale agreement.
