HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The Pensacola-Escambia Governmental Center Authority (PEGCA) was created by the legislature as special dependent district to monitor and control the construction of government buildings in the downtown area and manage real properties for that purpose. The PEGCA sold certain parcels of real property in the Spring Romana Garden Streets area to the School Board of Escambia County on March 20, 2002, by Special Warranty Deed. The legislature abolished the PEGCA on January 4, 2004, and jointly transferred its assets and liabilities to the City and the County.
200 West Garden LLC, a Louisiana limited liability, is developing the real property that was subject of the sale from PEGCA to the School Board to construct residential condominiums and closed on the property on June 30, 2022. However, the special warranty deed from PEGCA to the School Board had an error in the legal description of the real property being conveyed. In order for 200 West Garden to obtain clear title and be issued title insurance, the title insurer has required the issuance and recording of a corrective special warranty deed. As the real property lies within the City limits and the issuance of a corrective deed would technically be a liability of the PEGCA, the City would be legally correct in authorizing the Mayor to execute the corrective deed.
