A bill for an ordinance designating certain property as being required for public use and authorizing use and acquisition thereof by negotiation or through condemnation proceedings of fee simple and other interests, including any rights and interests related or appurtenant to such property, as needed for the National Western Center Project. Adds two land parcels inadvertently omitted from the legal description in the Land Acquisition Ordinance passed in December 2015, granting authority to acquire them as needed for the National Western Center redevelopment in Council District 9. The last regularly scheduled Council meeting within the 30-day review period is on 11-7-16. The Committee approved filing this bill by consent on 10-4-16.
All right. I don't see that we have any items called out except for there's one item, and I apologize for the couple of minutes that we started, but some last minute information came in to me. So I'm going to ask Councilwoman, if you could put I believe it's 898. Is that the correct? If you could put 898 on the floor for final consideration and passage and then we'll get some description of what's going on and put it to a vote after we do that. Thank you, Mr. President. I move that council bill 898 be placed upon final consideration and do pass. We have. Moved. We need a second. Thank you. All right. It's been moved and seconded. I'm going to turn it over to our assistant city attorney, David Broadwell, to give us a little recap of of the situation. Thank you, Mr. President. David Broadwell, assistant city attorney. We're going to be asking that you do a new motion to postpone this to a date certain being next week's meeting at the request of DPS. One of the parcels referenced in this land acquisition ordinance is actually a DPS owned parcel. And negotiations have been ongoing regarding a negotiated purchase and sale agreement between our US and our friends at DPS. But there are some issues that they want to talk through further and perhaps communicate to council, and we need to sort things out for a week more, perhaps at their request, before having council action on this acquisition ordinance . So if you'd be so kind to move to postpone until next week, we will no doubt come back to you next week with more information about that negotiation. Thank you. Are there any questions before we do that? All right. So do we. Are we? Oh. Councilman Flynn, do you have a question? Yes, I do. Thank you, Mr. President. David, does is it necessary to acquire that parcel and the other one? For the National Western Center project. Through this ordinance. In other words, do we have to do this ordinance one way or the other? Well, an ordinance has required to go forth and acquire property per year per the charter. But do we have to designated as we do through this as a parcel for acquisition? Yes. In general, there's a finding of need for the acquisition that's reflected in the ordinance itself. But the actual the whys and wherefores of why the property is included is what I think we probably need fuller discussion on. Okay. In response to your Q&A next week. But there are people in the room who could talk about it tonight, if you like, but again, at the school district's request. So just asking for a little more time for us to organize our messaging, our joint messaging on the status of the negotiations and so forth. Okay. Any other questions? All right, Councilwoman Candace, would you make the motion for us? I move that Councilor Bill 898 be postponed and reconsidered on Monday, October 31st. Second. Looks like it's been moved and seconded. Madam Secretary Rogoff. Black eye, I. As Flynn. I. Cashman. I. Can eat. Lopez All right. New Ortega I. Sussman, I. Mr. President, I. Madam Secretary, please close the voting and announce the results. Nine eyes. Nine eyes. We will postpone that until next week. Thank you very much. All right. Any other bills that we missed that are getting called out? All right. Seeing another, no others. All of their bills for introduction are ordered published. We're now ready for the block vote on resolutions and bills on final consideration. Council members, please remember that this is a consent or block vote and you'll need to vote. Otherwise, this is your last chance to call out an item for a separate vote. Councilwoman, can you please put the resolutions for adoption and the bills for final consideration? On final consideration for final passage on the floor? Thank you, Mr. President. I move the final following proclamations be adopted. 785 929 nine 3841 868 869 923 924 935 792 926, nine, 27, 931 And then the following bills on final consideration be placed upon final consideration and do pass.
