Glen Heights authorizes manager to negotiate land purchases for East Bear Creek Road expansion
Summary
Council approved Resolution R-18-25, authorizing the city manager to negotiate property acquisitions and allowing the mayor to execute conveyances for the East Bear Creek Road right-of-way expansion project; staff said appraisals are imminent.
The Glen Heights City Council voted 7-0 to approve Resolution R-18-25, authorizing the city manager to negotiate property acquisitions for the East Bear Creek Road right-of-way expansion and allowing the mayor to execute conveyances on the city's behalf.
Director of Planning and Development Parvis Porzizian said the city has engaged appraisal and title services and expects appraisal reviews to be complete within about 30 to 60 days. “We are getting close within probably next 30 to 60 days to have the appraisal and final, appraisal reviews done and send out the offers,” Porzizian told the council. He said the resolution is intended to allow the city manager to negotiate offers so each parcel does not need to be brought back to council individually.
Earlier in the meeting the council entered executive session under the Texas Government Code to deliberate real property and to consult with the city attorney regarding property acquisitions and related legal matters. The executive session topics included land acquisitions for the East Bear Creek Road right-of-way expansion project; the council reconvened and voted on the resolution in open session.
Councilmembers moved and seconded approval of R-18-25; the motion passed 7-0. The resolution authorizes negotiation and conveyance authority but does not itself authorize final purchases; offers and settlements will follow appraisal reviews.
