1729 - Transfer of property.

 
    §  1729.  Transfer of property. 1. The city board and the city, acting
  by the mayor alone or by  resolution  of  the  council,  may  convey  or
  transfer to the authority, with or without consideration and without any
  further  authorization,  any real, personal or mixed property (including
  inalienable property of the city, except for land mapped as  parks),  or
  any interest therein, in order to assist the authority in implementing a
  five-year educational facilities capital plan.
    2.  In  the event the authority wishes to obtain city property for use
  as an educational facility pursuant to an approved five-year educational
  facilities capital plan, the authority shall request  such  property  in
  writing  and  shall submit such request directly to the mayor. The mayor
  shall have thirty days to respond to such request.  If  the  request  is
  denied,  the  mayor  shall  set  forth  in  writing the reasons for such
  denial, including whether the city intends  to  use  such  property  for
  other  public  uses. Such response shall be made available to the public
  upon request. If the  mayor  fails  to  respond  to  such  request,  the
  authority  may, at the expiration of the thirty-day period, condemn such
  property pursuant  to  its  powers  under  subdivision  six  of  section
  seventeen hundred twenty-eight of this title.
