ORDINANCES
1. 17-089 ORDINANCE NO. 017-10
AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GLENDALE,
MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA, AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE
ENTERING INTO OF A PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT FOR THE
PURCHASE AND TRANSFER OF PROPERTY WITH THE CITY OF
GLENDALE AND WEST VALLEY RE INVESTMENTS, LLC; AND
ORDERING THAT A CERTIFIED COPY OF THIS ORDINANCE BE
RECORDED, AND DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.
Staff Contact: Jack Friedline, Director, Public Works
Ms. Bower read Ordinance No. 017-10 in full.
Mr. Friedline said the item was for authorization to enter into a purchase and sale -
agreement with West Valley RE Investors, LLC. The City purchased the unimproved
property in January 2017, at the northwest corner of Union Hills and Loop 101, for a
park-and-ride facility. It was in the best interest of the City to move forward with the offer
from West Valley RE Investors, LLC. The City would continue to seek comparable
properties for a future park-and-ride project in north Glendale.
Mr. Phelps said although it might seem unusual for the quick timing of the purchase and
sale of the property, the Economic Development team was excited to announce a new
BMW dealership would be built on the property. He said the project was consistent with
the use of that retail corridor.
Mayor Weiers said it was a great opportunity to have BMW come to Glendale. He
wished he could have announced the project at the State of the City address last week.
A motion was made by Councilmember Aldama, seconded by Councilmember
Tolmachoff, that this agenda item be approved. The motion carried by the
