(Amy Keys, Deputy City Attorney) Explanation: As a result of City Council goal setting, the Moline Community Development Corporation (MCDC) was created in 2008. Part of MCDC’s mission is to provide quality housing for low to moderate income families and to foster neighborhood improvement. The City recently took possession of an abandoned, single-family home at 1151 26th Street after it was donated by then owner Wells Fargo Bank N.A. Wells Fargo, when donating the property, also gave the City $7,500.00 to be used towards the demolition or rehabilitation of the property. To provide momentum to MCDC’s efforts, MCDC is interested in rehabilitating the single-family home on the lot and selling it to a qualified family. MCDC has offered to purchase the property for $1.00. Under the terms of the proposed Agreement, the $7,500.00 donated to the City by Wells Fargo would be given to the MCDC to use in the rehabilitation. The rehabilitation and sale of the single-family home at this location will restore the blighted property and increase the property tax base in the future. Additional documentation attached.
