Title

A resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute, on behalf of the City, a Memorandum of Understanding with the Mesquite Independent School District to outline the exchange of property related to the future expansion of Vanguard High School and the reconstruction of Faithon P. Lucas, Sr., Boulevard.

 

Body

The City of Mesquite has identified the need to acquire approximately 1.2 acres of property for the right-of-way for the construction of Faithon P. Lucas, Sr., Boulevard.  This property would be adjacent to Vanguard High School.  Mesquite Independent School District (MISD) has identified the need for additional property for a future expansion of the high school and has agreed to pursue the exchange of property.  Due to the time constraints to begin construction of the roadway, the City and MISD have agreed to utilize a Memorandum of Understanding to outline the exchange and begin the process, survey the property and prepare legal documents.  The City Council and MISD will formalize the property exchange prior to August 1, 2023.
