City Clerk <br /> DATE: 1/31/2023 <br /> MEMO: <br /> TO: Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe <br /> City Council Members <br /> FROM: Scot Wrighton,City Manager <br /> SUBJECT: Resolution Approving the Transfer of 1421 East Orchard Street,Decatur,Illinois from Woodford Homes,Inc. to <br /> Old King's Orchard Community Center. <br /> BACKGROUND: This item has been on the City Council's agenda before when direct transfer to DOVE was authorized. <br /> Since then,DOVE decided that they cannot operate and manage 1421 East Orchard along with the other transitional property we <br /> are developing for them on East John Street;so the city sought another recipient of the Orchard Street property who would use it <br /> for a charitable purpose in pursuit of the city's community development goals,and preferably for transitional housing. The Macon <br /> County Mental Health Board and OKO Community Center have worked out a way for the latter organization to use the property <br /> for transitional housing. If,at some time in the future,OKO Community Center cannot sustain its operation of the building,it will <br /> be returned to the city. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Resolution Resolution Letter <br />
