STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This item furthers City Council’s strategic outcome of Connected and Engaged.
REPORT:
On March 25, 2024, Governor Hobbs approved SB 1441 directing the Arizona Historical Society to convey to the City of Yuma ownership of the following land and buildings:
1. The Sanguinetti House Museum and Gardens and Jack Mellon House located at 240 South Madison Avenue, Yuma, Arizona, and
2. The Molina Block located at 272 Madison Avenue, Yuma, Arizona.
SB 1441 requires the City of Yuma to use the transferred land and buildings “for public purposes perpetually” and forbids the property from being “sold, exchanged or bartered.”
The president of the Arizona Historical Society is required to deliver a properly signed and recorded deed to the City of Yuma within 15 days after SB 1441 becomes effective, which will be 91 days after the current legislative session is over.
For the City of Yuma to acquire these properties, Yuma City Charter, Article VII, Section 6(g) requires City Council to adopt an ordinance authorizing the acquisition and agreeing to the conditions imposed by SB 1441.
