In such instances, the city council shall pass an ordinance stating: (a) That the property was acquired, in whole, with federal funds; (b) That the property is to be sold or otherwise conveyed to a low- to moderate-income family; (c) That the sale or conveyance is consistent with all applicable federal, state or local statutes, laws, regulations and policies; and (d) That the property may be offered for sale, donation or otherwise conveyed immediately upon the passing of the ordinance .
