<br />Roadway
<br />
<br />(a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), the governing body of a munici-
<br />pality may sell and convey land or an interest in land that the municipality
<br />owns, holds, or claims as a public square, park, or site for the city hall or
<br />other municipal building or that is an abandoned part of a street or alley. 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. Failure to so
<br />use the proceeds, however, does not impair the title to the sold property
<br />acquired. by a purchaser for a valuable consideration.

<br />Revisor's Note
<br />
<br />At the time of their inclusion in the 1925 revision of civil statutes, V.A.C.S.
<br />Articles 1017 and 1020 both limited the application of the source law to
<br />certain municipalities. 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.
