Pull amended resolution text from convention center acquisition to identify title conditions
Context: The council voted 'approved as amended' on April 23, 2025 — amendments to acquisition authorizations sometimes introduce conditions that do not appear in the original staff report or recorded deed.
Recommended: Obtain the final as-amended resolution from the April 23, 2025 council meeting and compare it against the original staff recommendation to identify any title covenants, reversionary clauses, or use restrictions that may bind the ~185,941 sq ft parcel going forward.

Context: The April 23, 2025 council authorized a dual land acquisition from Charter DMN Holdings as part of the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center expansion, one of the largest financial actions ($51.7M) from a meeting with $302.3M in total impact.
Recommended: The city's $51.7M dual acquisition of ~185,941 sq ft from a single owner signals active land assembly for the convention center expansion — identify adjacent parcels not yet in city control to assess displacement pressure, site control windows, or complementary development opportunities before the footprint is locked in.
Request appraisal records for convention center land purchase from Charter DMN Holdings
Context: The council voted 'approved as amended' on April 23, 2025 — meaning the authorization terms changed from the original staff recommendation on a $51.7M acquisition from a single private owner for the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center expansion.
Recommended: File a public records request for the independent appraisal(s) of the ~185,941 square feet acquired from Charter DMN Holdings and the specific language added before the April 23 vote. A last-minute amendment to a $51.7M single-seller transaction warrants documentation of whether the price was independently validated.
