BACKGROUND Bids were received Thursday, August 15, 2013 for the sale of City-owned surplus property located at 710 Lincoln Street. There was only one bidder on this property. The description and the bidder for the property are listed below: Address: 710 Lincoln Street Legal: Lot 169 & Lot 170, Block 16, Herring Addition Zoning: GC-MD, General Commercial Multiple Family Dwelling District Acreage: 0.172 176 acre tract Name _ Minimum Bid Bid Amount A Personal Touch, LLC $4,625.00 $1,500.00 Bobby R. Williams, Sr., CEO/Owner The City of Beaumont acquired the property at 710 Lincoln on July 11, 2001 by executing a Special Warranty Deed between ExxonMobil Corporation and the City of Beaumont. Sometime later a building was donated to the Junior League of Beaumont to provide programs for the Charlton Pollard community. The placing of the building on city property was accepted by city administration. On February 7, 2005 a Bill of Sale for the building was executed between the Junior League of Beaumont and the Charlton Pollard Neighborhood Association. The Charlton Pollard Neighborhood Association (CPNA) occupied the building located at 710 Lincoln Street as their headquarters until June 20, 2008. CPNA executed a General Warranty Deed to A Personal Touch, LLC to sell the building at 710 Lincoln Street. CPNA should have executed a Bill of Sale with A Personal Touch, LLC conveying ownership of the building only. The City of Beaumont owns the land and A Personal Touch, LLC owns the building. A Personal Touch, LLC contacted the City of Beaumont to purchase the land. This sale is the result of the request made by A Personal Touch, LLC. A minimum bid of$4,625 was specified to recapture funds expended to acquire and maintain the land located at 710 Lincoln. Since there was only one bid by Bobby R. Williams, Sr., CEO/Owner of A Personal Touch LLC, administration recommends waiving the minimum bid and accepting the bid of$1,500 for the sale of the real property located at 710 Lincoln.
