Summary
The council approved Resolution No. 2526-82 authorizing the sale of foreclosed property at 18 McClellan Avenue back to the prior owner; the resolution sets a purchase deadline of 11/26/2025 at 12:12 PM and authorizes execution of closing documents.
The Amsterdam City Council approved Resolution No. 2526-82 authorizing the sale of 18 McClellan Avenue to the prior owner, the clerk read, with a purchase deadline set for 11/26/2025 at 12:12 PM.
The resolution, read into the record by the meeting clerk, states that the city of Amsterdam had foreclosed on the property pursuant to Article 11 of the New York real property tax law and that the prior owner requested to repurchase the parcel and would pay all closing costs. "Now therefore be it resolved, the sale of 18 McClellan Avenue is authorized as set forth here and above," the clerk read. The resolution further authorizes "the execution of all necessary documents to effectuate the instant resolution."
On a roll-call vote the resolution was recorded as approved; Alderman Preston Martin, Alderman Holliday, Alderman Collins, Alderman Carpenter and Alderman Martisello were recorded as voting in favor. The clerk announced the resolution carried and that staff were authorized to finalize documents on behalf of the city.
The resolution does not record further conditions in the transcript beyond the purchase deadline and the requirement that the prior owner pay closing costs. The sale will proceed if the prior owner meets the stated terms by the deadline specified in the resolution.
