Title
Authorizing the execution of a Purchase and Sale Agreement with LT McGrath, LLC for the purchase of the former Water Utility Administration building located at 517 and 523 East Main Street.
Body
The Water Utility declared that its administrative office building located at 517 and 523 East Main Street (the “Property”) surplus to its needs when it moved to its new office building on Olin Avenue in 2005. The Surplus Property Procedures in place at that time provided that other City departments had to be notified of the surplusing of the Property and provided an opportunity to express their interest in the Property. No City department expressed its interest in the Property and the Surplus Property Procedures provided that the Property, if it was determined to be in the best interests of the City, could be sold to an abutting property owner.

However, the Water Utility was exempted from the ordinance and could list and sell the Property as a market transaction. The Property has been listed for sale. Several offers have been received and rejected by the Water Utility.
