oRDINANCE NO. 95-3032
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PLAINVIEW, TEXAS,
AMENDING SECTION 2-151, ENTITLED ADVERTISEMENT
FOR BIDS OF THE CITY OF PLAINVIEW, TEXAS, CODE
OF ORDINANCES.
Whereas, from time to time the City of Plainview has surplus property it desires to
dispose of; and
Whereas, it is important to the citizens of Plainview to return properties to the tax
rolls; and
Whereas, at times it is not practical to add advertising and appraisal costs to the
minimum bid for surplus properties.
Now, therefore, be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Plainview, Texas, that
Section 2-1 51, "Advertisement for Bids" of the City of Plainview Code of Ordinances
shall henceforth read as follows:
(A.) The City Manager shall advertise for sealed bids offering the declared
surplus real property for sale to the highest bidder, but the notice shall
notify all prospective buyers and bidders that no bid will be received,
accepted or entertained that is less than the appraised value, together
with the costs incurred, which shall include the appraisal fee and advertising
costs. The notice shall state the appraised value is, what the appraisal fee
was, and the advertising cost incurred and no bid under the value plus cost
will be accepted or entertained.
(B.) The City Council by a simple majority vote of those present and voting,
may forego the inclusion of appraisal fees and advertising cost in the minimum
bid.
This ordinance shall be effective on the date it is adopted.
Adopted this 28th day of February, 1995.
