RE: Disposition of Surplus Property at 1035-1037 West South Park Avenue
•
BACKGROUND
In May of 2010, the Common Council approved a relocation order which authorized the purchase of four
properties adjacent to the former solid waste landfill located at Quarry Park. Our consultant (AECOM) has
recommended the purchase of these properties because of the close proximity of the existing buildings to the
landfill materials.
ANALYSIS
On December 13th, the Common Council finalized the purchase of the last property. This property is located at
1035-1037 West South Park Avenue. Similar to the previous Common Council actions, we do not feel that the
fixtures in this building have any value. Habitat for Humanity of Oshkosh Restore has indicated that they would
be willing to salvage material from the building which can be resold at their store.
FISCAL IMPACT
This disposition will reduce the tipping fee expense for the disposal of the demolished building at the Winnebago
County Landfill.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend approval of this disposition of the salvageable material from this property to Habitat for Humanity
of Oshkosh Restore.
Respectfully Submitted, Approved:
