Case File 26-0156

Context: The February 3 first reading passed 6-0 as a group motion covering Items 20 through 23 with a 'public hearing to be held February 17, 2026,' and final adoption came 7-0 as part of Items 9 through 11 taken together.

Recommended: Request the signed ordinance and the delivered deed for the JCGAR Ventures, LLC purchase and read for reverter clauses, use restrictions, closing deadlines, or repurchase rights that the agenda caption does not disclose. Also ask the clerk to confirm the public hearing noticed for February 17 was in fact conducted, since the item passed inside a grouped motion that day.

Context: The adopted ordinance describes the property as a 'portion of Lots 18 and 19, Block 6, Alameda Acres' sold for $51,000, approved 7-0 on February 17, 2026.

Recommended: The city conveyed only a portion of Lots 18 and 19 in Block 6 of Alameda Acres, so confirm with the county deed record and city platting staff whether the fragment is a legal building site or needs replatting or consolidation with an adjoining lot before permits can issue. Assuming a full lot here can strand a $51,000 purchase in a lot-of-record problem that surfaces only at permit intake.

Context: Both readings passed inside grouped motions with no recorded discussion beyond Representative Limón's comment, and the record never explains the basis for the $51,000 price or the buyer's identity.

Recommended: Request the PowerPoint that Capital Assets Manager MaryLou Espinoza presented on February 17 plus the appraisal and any bid or solicitation file, and ask whether JCGAR Ventures, LLC was the only bidder or an adjacent owner receiving a direct sale. The presentation covered Items 9 through 11 together, so the same records should reveal the two companion parcels and whether all three went to related buyers at similar prices.
