Summary of RCC 10

RCC 10 is a resolution that proposed a targeted property transfer and a subsequent lease arrangement to support a community-focused educational center. The measure originated in January 2025 and was withdrawn by its author in May 2025. It is important to understand its explicit objectives, the entities involved, and the procedural context.

Purpose and Intent

  • To instruct the Puerto Rico Land Administration (Administración de Terrenos de Puerto Rico) to transfer title for two specific properties at no cost (título gratuito) to the Autonomous Municipality of San Juan.
  • To enable San Juan to lease those same properties, for a nominal rent of one dollar, to the Sila M. Calderón Foundation, Inc. (doing business as Centro para Puerto Rico).
  • The ultimate objective is to construct a center that provides educational and training services, alongside social action programs, entrepreneurship development, and community empowerment.

Key Provisions (Overview)

  • Transfer of Ownership: The Administration de Terrenos de Puerto Rico would transfer ownership of two properties to the Municipality of San Juan without consideration.
  • Properties Located: Avenida Ponce de León 1002 and Calle González 1005, Desarrollo Santa Rita, Río Piedras.
  • Property Identifiers: Cadastral numbers 087-002-467-06 and 087-002-467-24 (the “Propiedades”).
  • Subsequent Lease: San Juan would lease the properties to Centro para Puerto Rico for a symbolic annual rent of one dollar.
  • Purpose of Use: The leased center would offer educational and training services, plus programs in social action, entrepreneurship, and community empowerment.

Affected Parties

  • Primary: Autonomous Municipality of San Juan; Administracion de Terrenos de Puerto Rico.
  • Lessee/Sublessee: Centro para Puerto Rico (Sila M. Calderón Foundation, Inc.).
  • Beneficiaries: Community members in Río Piedras and surrounding areas who would access educational, training, and empowerment programs.
  • Potential Implications for property governance and public-private/charitable partnerships in San Juan.

Procedural History and Timeline

  • Introduced: January 2, 2025.
  • First Reading: January 16, 2025 (appears in Primera Lectura de la Cámara).
  • Referral: January 16, 2025 to relevant Committee(s).
  • Status Change: Withdrawn by its author on May 8, 2025.
  • Classification: Resolution (not a bill to enact statutory changes).

Current Status and Next Steps

  • Status: Withdrawn by its author; thus, the measure did not advance to enactment.
  • Potential Next Steps: If reintroduced, similar language could be considered by the legislature; any new version would require introduction, committee referrals, and consideration for adoption.

Potential Impacts and Considerations

  • If enacted, the measure would facilitate a public land transfer and a near-zero rent arrangement to enable a community-focused educational and empowerment center.
  • Legal/administrative considerations would include the appropriateness of gratis transfers, lease terms, and oversight of the use of municipal property.
  • With withdrawal, there is no binding effect, but the idea could be revisited in future legislative bills or resolutions.
