Explanation
BACKGROUND: Ordinance 0539-2021, passed March 8, 2021, authorized the Director of the Department of Development to transfer two parcels located at 767 McAllister Ave. (010-039862) and 00000 McAllister Ave. (010-007346) to Jack, June, and Lil Properties LLC, for the sum of $14,049.00 plus a $195.00 processing fee. Since the passage of the original ordinance, the buyer has requested to complete the purchase under a different entity due to tax code requirements associated with the Opportunity Zone Fund. As such, the need exists to amend the buyer’s name, originally Jack, June, and Lil Properties LLC, to G & F QOZB LLC.
Emergency action is requested so the transfer of the property can be made without further delay.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required by this legislation.
