Department:	Commissioners Court

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to accept the offer of donation and/or possible purchase option for purchase and sale of real property located in Los Botines, from Mr. Gene Walker, Jr., said land containing approximately 10.14 acres of land and being known as Tract 38, Simeon Park Phase II as recorded in Vol. 32, Pgs. 88-89, Webb County Plat Records, to be used for a possible future Webb County Fire Dept. sub-station, emergency medical services site, and/or possible water distribution, and/or heavy equipment storage activities and other necessary county operations; and any other matters incident thereto. [Executive Session is requested pursuant to Section 551.072, Texas Government Code to discuss terms, acquisition, purchase, value and/or sale/donation of real property and Section 551.071 (Consultation with attorney)]

Purpose: With public safety as a main priority and as necessary to enhance the efficient provision of fire and emergency medical services to the northern reaches of Webb County, it is imperative that additional facilities and resources be established for those geographic areas of the county with higher traffic volumes, increased oil and gas related activities and remote population densities.

Solution: If accepted, the land offered for donation is ideally situated for the stated purpose at the northwest intersection of US Highway 83 North and San Juan Road (a dedicated county road) in the immediate vicinity of the subdivisions of Simeon Park, Bonanza Hills, Botines, Four Points, and Los Veteranos 83. Said site is centrally located and offers enhanced response time to the northern areas of Webb County being within 3-4 miles from IH 35 North and 1 mile south of the Colombia Toll Road’s intersection with US Highway 83 North.
