Council approves 5.501-acre transfer to community development group for aquatic center
Summary
Council approved transfer of 5.501 acres from the city to the Bay City Community Development Corporation under an MOU dated 05/29/2025 so the CDC can move forward with the aquatic center; the MOU includes reversion provisions if development does not occur within a set period.
The Bay City Council voted to transfer 5.501 acres to the Bay City Community Development Corporation (BCCDC) to advance the planned aquatic center, per the memorandum of understanding dated 05/29/2025 included with the agenda. Staff said the MOU contains provisions to protect the city if the project fails to proceed — for example, staff noted they had included a contingency period and the property would revert to the city in the event the project does not succeed within the agreed term.
City staff summarized the transfer and invited council questions before the motion. The council approved the conveyance by voice vote. Scotty (city staff) said staff added longer-term provisions "in case something fell through" and that the MOU grants the CDC a three-year window to complete development; council members said final deed language would be reviewed by city counsel before closing.
