A <br />sale under this section may include the improvements on the property. <br /> <br />\,\\ (b) Land owned, held, or claimed as a public square or park may not be <br />'\ sold unless the issue of the sale is submitted to the qualified voters of the <br />municipality at an election and is approved by a majority of the votes received <br />at the election. . . <br /> <br />(c) To effect the sale, the governing body shall adopt an ordinance directing <br />the municipality's mayor or city manager to execute the conveyance. <br /> <br />(d) The proceeds of the sale may be used only to acquire and improve <br />property for the purposes for which the sold property was used.

In 1947, however, the legislature amended Article <br />1017 to apply to municipalities "however incorporated," thus rendering the <br />population limitations remaining in Article 1020 meaningless insofar as the <br />source law for this section is concerned. <br />629 <br /> <br />,.;.' <br /> <br />r .. <br />. -. <br />. ..f.. <br />. .J, <br /> <br />., <br />'J. <br /> <br />..... <br /> <br />'~. ...-,..~;~;:;~;.:;:-:-:~7:;iii=..Ilf.j.,..;y;l~-..~ili.rr___...Uj I fie:.
