Cleburne council accepts $7,000 unsolicited bid from neighbor for struck-off lot at 2451 Sabine Avenue
Summary
On April 8 the Cleburne City Council approved accepting an unsolicited $7,000 bid from Ramiro Agundis to purchase struck-off property at 2451 Sabine Avenue; the sale would be by deed without warranty and the purchaser must comply with zoning and other applicable laws.
The Cleburne City Council voted April 8 to accept an unsolicited written bid from Ramiro Agundis to acquire struck-off property at 2451 Sabine Avenue for $7,000, an amount described in the minutes as covering back taxes and most court and legal fees.
City Secretary Ivy Peterson presented the background: the adjacent lot (889 Sabine Avenue) was purchased by Agundis in 2005; taxes on Lot 3 (2451 Sabine Avenue) later became delinquent and the lot was struck off at auction under Cause #T201400273, with the city becoming conservator. According to the packet text in the minutes, Agundis had been treating the struck-off lot as part of his side yard until city staff notified him of the city’s ownership.
Under the terms described in the minutes, acceptance of the unsolicited bid would require execution of a deed without warranty and the purchaser’s compliance with applicable laws, zoning restrictions and regulations. Ramiro Agundis attended the meeting to answer questions. The minutes record a motion “to approve as presented” that carried; the published minutes do not state the mover, seconder, or a detailed roll-call tally.
The council’s action transfers the city’s interest as conservator subject to the conditions noted; the minutes do not indicate any additional conditions or subsequent administrative steps in the council record beyond the approval.
