St. Martinville council OKs sale of adjudicated lot at 734 Governor Mouton St.
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance No. 26-01 authorizing sale of adjudicated Parcel #17101A1533 (734 Governor Mouton St.) under La. R.S. 47:2201 et seq., set a $7,016.82 minimum price, reserved mineral rights to the city and required title-notice certifications prior to closing.
The St. Martinville City Council on Feb. 2 adopted Ordinance No. 26-01 to authorize the sale of adjudicated property identified as Parcel #17101A1533, municipally addressed as 734 Governor Mouton Street.
The ordinance, offered by Councilman Jonas Fontenette and seconded by Councilwoman Janise Anthony, applies the procedures in La. R.S. 47:2201 et seq. The council set a minimum purchase price of $7,016.82, reserved all mineral rights to the city while conveying surface rights, and required E&P Consulting Services, LLC to certify that search and notice requirements in the statute have been completed prior to closing.
The ordinance instructs that certified funds be required at sale, specifies that the sale form be approved by the city attorney, and directs E&P Consulting Services, LLC to file proof of statutory notice in the parish conveyance records and to certify that the statutory period for redemption has passed.
The measure passed with Yeas recorded as M. Fuselier, C. Frederick, J. Fontenette, J. Anthony and F. Chatman. The ordinance authorizes the mayor to execute a cash sale containing the conditions specified in the text.
Why it matters: the ordinance disposes of a tax-adjudicated parcel that the city declared surplus, sets the sale process and purchase price, and preserves mineral rights for the municipality.
What’s next: the ordinance directs pre-closing certifications by the title consultant and authorizes the mayor to sign the act of sale once statutory notice and redemption periods have been met.
