If a 6 reverter of title to any property is ordered by the court under 7 the terms of this Act, the interest of the Commission shall be 8 subject to any then existing, valid mortgage or trust deed in 9 the nature of a mortgage, but if the title is acquired through 10 foreclosure of that mortgage or trust deed or by deed in lieu 11 of foreclosure of that mortgage or trust deed, then the title 12 to the property shall not revert, but shall be subject to the 13 restrictions as to use, but not any penalty for nonuse, 14 contained in this Act with respect to any mortgagee in 15 possession or its successor or assigns. 16 (b) If, at a regularly scheduled meeting, the Commission 17 resolves that a parcel of real estate that is owned by the 18 Commission is no longer needed for District purposes, the 19 Commission may authorize the sale or public auction of the 20 parcel.
