Case File 26-0099

Context: Ordinance 019839 was adopted 6-0 on 2026-02-03 on a motion by Representative Chávez seconded by Representative Niño, following second reading on 2026-01-20, with no conditions recited in the item text.

Recommended: Obtain the full adopted text of the conveyance ordinance and the executed deed for 212 Dolan Street, and confirm whether they carry reverter clauses, use restrictions, or closing conditions that bind the buyers. The council item summary states only the price and property address, so any restrictive covenants would live in documents not reflected in the agenda record.

Context: The City conveyed 212 Dolan Street for $1,608.00 by Ordinance 019839 adopted 6-0 on 2026-02-03, a price consistent with a small remnant rather than a standard lot.

Recommended: Ask the city's real estate office for the current list of surplus and remnant parcels offered under the same program that moved 212 Dolan Street, and confirm which are legally buildable lots versus sliver remnants only saleable to abutting owners. A four-figure disposition price signals substandard lot geometry, so verify frontage, width, and setback compliance before pricing any acquisition.

Context: Ordinance 019839 conveying 212 Dolan Street to Jesus Martin Lara and Lorena Villar for $1,608.00 passed 6-0 on 2026-02-03 with no valuation basis in the item text across its two appearances.

Recommended: Request the appraisal, valuation memo, and any competitive-offer file behind the $1,608 sale price for the city-owned lot at 212 Dolan Street, plus the buyers' relationship to adjoining parcels. The record shows only the price and the buyers' names — nothing explaining how the number was derived or whether anyone else could have bid.
