CHARLIE FRANKLIN, COLLIN COUNTY INFRASTRUCTURE AND STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE TO ORDER.
WE HAVE WITH US, MYSELF, JAYLEN ANDERSON AND MEGAN SORT OF, AND I GUESS RON TEMPORARILY WILL FILL IN.
OH, WE CAN'T, WE CAN'T HEAR YOU NOW, MEGAN.
OKAY, I'LL TURN MY CAMERA OFF SO I'M NOT A DISTRACTION, BUT ALL GOOD FOR NOW.
[RESOLUTIONS IN COMMITTEE]
[22347 A RESOLUTION declaring certain County owned land as surplus real property and authorizing the Administration to solicit bids for selling two (2) surplus parcels.]
RESOLUTION 2, 2, 3, 4 7.DECLARING CERTAIN COUNTY OWNED LAND OF SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY AND AUTHORIZING ADMINISTRATION TO SOLICIT SOME BIDS FOR SELLING TWO SURPLUS PARCELS.
MR. CHAIRMAN, THIS IS THE OLD KANSAS CITY SPORTS COMMISSION HOUSE THAT WAS PURCHASED AS A PACKAGE DEAL WITH 1300 WASHINGTON.
UH, IT, IT, IT NEEDS A LOT OF WORK.
WE'VE HAD OUR FACILITIES PEOPLE IN THERE LOOKING AT AND TRYING TO UTILIZE IF WE COULD MAYBE, MAYBE USE IT FOR ANOTHER, UM, COUNTY, UH, BUILDING.
IT'S GONNA TAKE A A LOT TO GET IT UP TO SPEED.
SO, UH, WE WANNA MAKE IT SURPLUS PROPERTY AND SEE IF WHO MIGHT WANNA USE IT.
IT'S A GREAT LOCATION IN DOWNTOWN KANSAS CITY HAS A PARKING LOT THAT GOES WITH IT, AND SO WE JUST DON'T KNOW AS WE KNOW, UNLESS THERE MADE SURPLUS TO SEE WHAT WE COULD POSSIBLY DO WITH IT.
RON MCGEE IS NOW WITH HIS COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS.
UH, MR. EXECUTIVE, WHAT, WHAT, WHEN YOU SAY IT'S A LOT OF WORK, WHAT, I MEAN, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES IN THE BUILDING? WE HAD THE FAMILY COURT THAT WENT IN THERE TO SEE IF IT'S SOMETHING THEY COULD USE.
AND OUR FACILITIES, PEOPLE SAY IT WOULD BE ABOUT $2.5 MILLION TO GET IT UP TO SPEED.
IT'S GOT A PROBLEM WITH THE HVAC.
IT'S A REAL CUT UP BUILDING IF YOU'VE EVER BEEN IN IT BEFORE.
IT WAS A HOUSE WAY BACK IN THE DAY.
THEN THEY CHANGED IT INTO OFFICES AND IT'S GOT SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE BASEMENT AND IT'S GOT SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE HVAC.
AND THE VERY FRONT STEP IS, IS PROBLEMATIC WITH THE, THE PATIO.
IT'S JUST, IT SIT, IT SAT AND SAT AND SAT AND NO ONE'S ACTED ON IT.
JAYLA, UH, IS IT POSSIBLE TO TEAR DOWN THAT OR IS IT PROTECTED THE HOUSE? THAT, THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S ON A HISTORIC THING OR NOT.
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IF WE COULD JUST TEAR IT DOWN AND MAKE IT MORE PARKING IN OF ITSELF.
NO, THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO, IN TERMS OF PARKING FOR THE, FOR, FOR THE OFFICE, FOR THE OTHER ASSESSMENT OFFICES OVER THERE.
YEAH, WE CAN DEFINITELY, IT'S SURPLUS.
LOOK FOR DEMOLITION ON IT TOO.
WHAT IS THE, DO YOU, DO WE HAVE AN ESTIMATE WHAT THE BUILDING IS ACTUALLY WORTH OR THE LAND VALUE OF THE, I GUESS THE HOUSE PLUS THE PARKING LOT? NO, AND THAT'S ALL THINGS, IF IT MADE SURPLUS, WE COULD PUT IT OUT THERE.
WE COULD PROBABLY GET AN APPRAISAL AND BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT WE WOULD EVEN LOOK AT IF WE GOT BIDS, IF THEY WERE IN THE RIGHT BALLPARK FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH.
SO, I MEAN, WELL, I GUESS WE DON'T HAVE AN INTERNAL BIDDING PROCESS TO SAY HEY OR WE DO NOT LIKE SAY, HEY, THIS IS WHAT THIS MIGHT BE WORTH.
IT BECOMES SURPLUS AND WE GET BIDS AND THEY COME, WE COME BACK THIS BODY AND YOU SAY YAY.
OR YOU SAY NAY, BUT WE CAN'T DO THAT AND DO ANYTHING WITH THESE, ALL THESE PROPERTIES JUST SITTING VACANT UNTIL WE DO THAT.
SO, UM, YOU AND I TALKED, UM, UH, ONE THING IS, UM, I THINK WE NEED TO SEE IF WE CAN GET OUT OF 1300 WASHINGTON.
UM, THIS SORT OF GOES HAND IN HAND BECAUSE FOR THE PUBLIC, UM, WHEN THEY WERE COMING INTO APPEAL, THE SMALL ACCESSIBLE PARKING LOT THAT'S RIGHT AT THE FRONT OF 1300 HAS I THINK SIX OR EIGHT PARKING SPACES.
SO THE OVERFLOW PARKING PEOPLE WERE DIRECTED TO PARK IN THIS PARKING LOT THAT WE'RE NOW GONNA SURPLUS.
UM, I'D LIKE TO SEE US, UM, TRY TO SURPLUS 1300 WASHINGTON AS WELL.
YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER THAT AND HAVE THAT BEFORE THIS BODY.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE GONNA SELL IT.
THAT MEANS WE BOUGHT A BUILDING THAT'S FOR THE PURPOSE OF ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC AND IT'S, UM, FAR FROM A LOT OF OUR CONSTITUENTS.
UM, IT'S IN THE CORNER OF THE COUNTY.
UM, AND THEN ON THIS, LIKE I HAD MENTIONED TO YOU BECAUSE THIS IS THE PARKING THAT, UM, THE PUBLIC ACCESSES, THE, THE FACT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT SELLING BOTH THE PARCELS, INCLUDING THE PARKING LOT.
I JUST, UM, HAVE SOME CONCERNS, BUT JUST WANTED TO GET THOSE ON THE RECORD.
WELL, AND, AND REMEMBER WE'RE NOT SELLING ANYTHING.
IF WE, IF A BID CAME BACK, THIS BODY WOULD DECIDE WHETHER IT'S WORTH IT TO SELL IT AND LOSE THAT PARKING FOR THAT FACILITY.
OR SELL IT WITH A PROPERTY OF LE WITH A OPTION TO LEASE IT BACK OR SOMETHING.
[00:05:01]
NOT THERE YET.IF, IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT SELLING IT TODAY, I THINK THAT'S A BIG CONCERN SAYING YEAH, WHEREVER THOSE PEOPLE PARK.
BUT THIS SURPLUS THING TAKES A WHILE TO GET DONE.
BIDS GOING OUT TO GET DONE AND WE MIGHT NOT GET A BID RETURNED AND WE MIGHT STILL BE SITTING ON THIS THING FOR YEARS OR MONTHS TO COME.
AND TO YOUR OTHER POINT, YOU KNOW, I THINK ANY PROPERTY, COUNTY PROPERTY THAT WE'RE NOT UTILIZING NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO, TO HAVE ITS TIME ON THE MARKET AND SEE IF WE'RE, WE CAN MAKE MORE MONEY AND DO BETTER BY THE CITIZENS, BUT SELLING PROPERTY THAN IT'S SITTING THERE.
UH, MR. CHAIR, I WOULD MOTION MOVE THAT WE, UH, ADOPT THIS, UH, RESOLUTION.
CHAIR WILL RECOMMEND OR COMMITTEE WILL RECOMMEND 22 3 47 FOR ADOPTION BY THE ALLEGED BODY AS A WHOLE 2, 2, 3, 4, 8
[22348 A RESOLUTION declaring certain County owned land as surplus real property and authorizing the Administration to solicit bids for selling five (5) surplus parcels.]
DECLARING CERTAIN COUNTY OWNED LAND AND SURPLUS REAL PROPERTY AND AUTHORIZING THE ADMINISTRATION TO SOLICIT BID FOR SELLING FIVE SURPLUS PARCELS.THESE, THIS IS FOUR SEPARATE VACANT LOTS ON THE INDEPENDENT SQUARE JUST TO THE SOUTH OF THE LARGE PARKING LOT BY THE COURTHOUSE ANNEX WHERE WE USED TO HAVE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT ON BEFORE.
UM, WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO HEAT AND FROST UNION PEOPLE.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE THIS.
THEY WOULD LIKE TO BUILD, UH, THEIR, THEIR, UH, BUILDING THERE.
UM, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A BUILDING ABOUT A BLOCK AWAY THAT THEY WOULD SELL AND BUY AND BUILD A NEW BUILDING ON THIS IF IT'S AVAILABLE.
SO OF COURSE OUR FIRST STEP IS TO MAKE IT SURPLUS PROPERTY.
THEN WE PUT OUT BIDS AND THEN THEY WOULD MAKE A BID AND THEY, THEY WOULD SAY WHAT THEY WOULD WANNA PAY FOR IT, COME BACK TO THIS BODY AND SAY, IF THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANNA DO, IT'S VACANT LAND, IT'S SITTING THERE, IT'S DOING NOTHING.
WE'VE GOT SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO BUY IT AND BE HELPFUL TO GET A, A GOOD PIECE OF PROPERTY ON THERE.
ANY THOUGHTS ON WHAT WE DO WITH PEOPLE THAT WANT TO PARK? WHAT'S THAT? I MEAN, WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE THAT WOULD NORMALLY PARK THERE? IS IT THE WHOLE THING? IT IT IS NOT THE PARKING LOT AT ALL.
IT IS ACTUALLY ACROSS THE STREET.
IT'S WHERE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WAS, SO IT'S WHERE THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WAS.
THERE IS A PORTION OF IT I DROVE BY.
THERE IS A PORTION OF IT THAT HAS PARKING, BUT THAT'S LEFT OVER FROM WHEN IT WAS THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUILDING.
IT'S JUST A, I I WOULD SAY IT'S THAT PURPLE PORTION, UM, THAT HAS SOME PARKING THAT, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE 20 SPOTS OR SOMETHING.
THAT, THAT WAS USED TO BE PARKING FOR THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT WHEN THAT BUILDING WAS THERE.
UM, A QUESTION THAT, UH, JUST CAME FROM MY CHIEF STAFF.
IS THERE, WHERE'S THE FIFTH I, IS THERE A FIFTH ONE? I OR AM I, I, CAN I NOT SEE? UH, I I DON'T THINK THEY'RE NUMBERED CORRECTLY.
I THINK THERE'S, THERE'S ONE AND TWO OF THE GREEN ONES AND THEN TWO IS PROBABLY IS SHOULD BE THREE AND THREE SHOULD BE FOUR AND FOUR SHOULD BE FIVE.
YOU SEE THE, THE VERY TOP OF THE THING? THERE'S TWO PARCELS.
CHAIR WOULD ENTERTAIN A MOTION MOVE TO ADOPT.
PLAN USE WILL RECOMMEND THE INFRASTRUCTURE.
INFRASTRUCTURE AND STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE WILL RECOMMEND ADOPTION OF 22,348.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO COMES BEFORE THE COUNTY INFRASTRUCTURE AND STRATEGIC PLANNING COMMITTEE.
