thereof pursuant to the Dissolution Act. It is the intent of the City Council that the two parcels will be sold together to one buyer and the Property will not be sold for less than fair market value.
Section 4: Notice of Availability . The City Council directs the City Manager/Executive Director of the Agency, or his designee, to issue a Notice of Availability to the Designated Entities in accordance with the Act.
Section 5: CEQA Determination. This Resolution has been reviewed with respect to applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”). Agency staff have determined that the designation of the Property as surplus does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by the CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Adoption of the Resolution does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment of a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. If and when the Property is sold to a purchaser and the purchaser proposes a use for the Property that requires a discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use and project will analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA.
Section 6: Notice of Exemption . The City Clerk of the City of Rialto is directed to file a Notice of Exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15062.
Section 7: General Authorization. The officers and staff of the Agency are hereby authorized, jointly and severally, to do all things which they may deem necessary or proper to effectuate the purposes of this Resolution, and any such actions previously taken are hereby ratified and confirmed.
Such actions include negotiating in good faith in accordance with the requirements of the Act with any of the Designated Entities that submit a written notice of interest to purchase the Property in compliance with the Act.
Section 8: Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption by the City Council.
Section 9: Certification. The City Clerk of the City of Rialto shall certify to the passage, approval and adoption of this resolution, and the City Cler k of the City of Rialto shall cause this Resolution and the City Clerk’s certification to be entered in the File of Resolutions of the City of Rialto
