Pampa ISD board approves land swap with City of Pampa to relocate ag facilities
Summary
Pampa ISD voted unanimously to exchange an undeveloped district parcel (former Sam Houston Elementary site) for a 3.327-acre City of Pampa tract near the rodeo grounds to house a new agriculture facility; the city will pay a $12,700 market-value difference.
The Pampa ISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously Sept. 23 to approve a Sale and Exchange Agreement with the City of Pampa that would trade an undeveloped district parcel (the former Sam Houston Elementary site) for a 3.327-acre city tract near the rodeo grounds to relocate the district’s agriculture program.
Angel Grant, PISD finance manager, told the board the district has owned the former Sam Houston site since 1930 and that the exchange addresses a need identified during strategic planning for a new ag facility location. "There is a $12,700.00 difference in land value, and the City has agreed to pay the district for the difference in market value," Grant said. Denise Intemann moved to adopt the resolution; Cade Taylor seconded and the motion passed 7-0.
The board packet describes the district parcel as Lots 1–4, Block 1, and Lots 1–8, Block 7 of the Buckler Merten Addition to the City of Pampa, Gray County, Texas. In return, the City will convey a 3.327-acre tract situated in Section 78, Block 3, I.&G.N. RR. CO. Survey, Gray County, Texas (described in deed records). The resolution authorizes the board president and superintendent to take steps required by law to complete the transaction.
Board members did not record any abstentions or dissent in the minutes. The minutes do not include additional public comment on the swap; the board’s action came after executive-session consideration under Tex. Govt. Code 551.072, which governs discussions of real property.
