Murphy, City Attorney Subject: Date: August 24, 1961 COMMENT: Back in 1957, at the time the City was purchasing the new right of way for the Missouri Pacific main line reloca- tion, it was determined that_a part of the new right of -way would be through Forest Park Addition which was being developed by the Amelia Development Corporation and M. L. Lefler, Jr. The negotiations for the purchase of this property by the City was carried on by Mrs. Brockman, as. City Manager, and the City Council direct with Mr. Lefler. This office did not handle the purchase " that particular tract. Under date of June 7, 1957: Amelia Development Corpor- ation, by M. L. Lefler, Jr.., wrote a letter to Mrs. Brockman stating in part: "In line with and in confirmation of discussion had with the Council on May 28, 1957, our under.— standing of the expressed intent of the parties to such meeting is as. follows:1t Some eleven items were discussed, one -of which was that the City would pay the Company $'8b,000.00 in cash; the City in addition agreed to do many things, one of which was to quit- claim "all portions of Calder as"it exists west of the pro- posed Calder Extension along the Old Sour Lake Road -and east of the west boundary of the Addition, as well as all portions of railroad right of way shown on said plat west of the Sour Lake Road and adjacent to said Addition.south of the center- line of said present railroad right of way." Under date of June 12, 19573 Mrs.. Brockman, as City Manager, addressed a.letter to Amelia Development Corporation, attention M. L. Lefler, Jr., wherein she stated in part: "Your letter of .June 7th correctly states your proposition made to the City Council with refer- ence to purchase of right of way through your Addition for the relocation of the Missouri Pac- ific Railroad. It is my understanding that the INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM To: From Subject: Page No. 2. CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS Date: August 24, , 19 61 COMMENT: City Council informally agreed to your proposal and authorized me to deal with you on such a basis, and to purchase the right of way -when - money from the bond issue is available.tt Recently we received from the attorneys for the Amelia Development Corporation a quitclaim deed from the City to Amelia Development Corporation of two tracts of land, together with field notes and plat prepared by C. A. Kohler. We re- ferred these field notes, together with a copy of the agree- ment of 1957, to Mr. Balmer and they were approved with a slight variance in one of the calls. The quitclaim deed is being corrected,to take care of that matter. Mr. Balmer calls our attention to the fact that there are various utilities in this area and that, also, the Mis- souri Pacific right of way is now in our Master Street Program. The quitclaim from the City will be subject to any existing utilities, but,I don't know what we can do about that part of the MoPac right of way that is in the Master Street Program, because undoubtedly the agreement of the City Manager was part of the consideration for the conveyance of the property we received from Amelia Development Corporation. I am -enclosing herewith the Resolution authorizing the execution of this quitclaim, which should be presented to the City Council. org Murphy 1 City ttorney GEM:h encl.
