Canadian ISD board approves resolution to donate former Higgins school property to hospital district
Summary
After a public hearing, Canadian ISD trustees approved a resolution authorizing the donation of property formerly used by Higgins ISD (Lots 10–12, Block 1, City of Higgins) to the Higgins-Lipscomb Hospital District and authorized officials to finalize documents and a reimbursement agreement for reasonable district costs.
The Canadian Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously Aug. 11 to approve a resolution authorizing the donation of real property in the City of Higgins to the Higgins‑Lipscomb Hospital District.
The resolution covers “All of Lots No. Ten (10), Eleven (11), and Twelve (12) in Block One (1) of the City of Higgins, Lipscomb County, Texas,” described in the minutes. Board member Jessica Cowden moved the resolution and Heath Mitchell seconded; the motion passed 6–0. The resolution authorizes the superintendent or board president to prepare, execute and file related transfer documents and to finalize an agreement that would reimburse the district for reasonable costs and expenses incurred to effectuate the donation.
The Board conducted the required public hearing on the proposal before the vote; the minutes record the hearing but do not list public speakers for or against the transfer. The minutes do not specify a dollar amount for any anticipated reimbursement. The district will proceed to finalize legal documents with the hospital district as authorized in the resolution.
What happens next: the superintendent or the board president is authorized to execute the deed upon payment of reasonable district costs, and the district will work with the hospital district to finalize the reimbursement agreement.
