Tulsa officials consider surplus declaration to allow sale of property leased to Tulsa Psychiatric Center
Summary
Asset Management staff proposed declaring the city-owned parcel at 1620 East 12th Street surplus so the leased portion can be sold to the Tulsa Psychiatric Center; proceeds would be directed to facility management, and no contract has been executed yet.
The Public Works Committee reviewed a resolution to declare the city-owned property at 1620 East 12th Street surplus to city needs so that the leased portion may be sold to the Tulsa Psychiatric Center.
Roger Acey of the City of Tulsa Asset Management Department said the parcel has been under lease to the Tulsa Psychiatric Center since 1959 and that the center built its facility on the site. "This is a property that's been under lease with, the Tulsa Psychiatric Center since 1959," Acey said. He told the committee the city would sell the lease area at market value and that the proposed transaction has not yet moved into contract stage.
The city reviewed utilities and secured approval from the Parks Board for the surplus of the lease area, Acey said. On how sale proceeds would be used, Acey told the committee the sale revenue "would go back into the city. Not discretionary fund. It would go into the or general fund. It would go to facility management." The packet accompanying the resolution, he said, identifies facility maintenance as the destination for the funds.
Committee members asked procedural and title questions; Acey explained a minor lot-split adjustment was required because the parcel ties into adjacent parcels at Hillcrest that are under a long-term ground lease. He said the tennis courts tied to the larger parcel will remain under the current lease arrangements and that adjacent owners plan future construction on their leased parcel later.
No formal sale contract or council vote was recorded on the committee floor during the discussion; staff said the item must proceed through the full council before a sale contract is finalized. The asset management representative characterized the current sale price estimate as roughly "around the 3.80 ish mountain," and also said the city would sell at market value; the committee did not record a firm sale amount or execute a binding agreement during the meeting.
Committee chair closed the item after questions and moved to the next agenda entry.
Ending: The committee took the resolution up for consideration and requested the item advance through the council process; staff advised the committee that additional approvals and a formal contract would follow if the council approves the surplus declaration.
