City Surplus Policy
Under previous Council
direction, staff will bypass the
City Council Surplus Policy and
follow the Surplus Lands Act for
disposition of surplus property.
For property categorized as
Exempt, Staff will follow the
bidding procedure, only, as set
out in the Council Policy 000‐10
One adjoining landowner –
property may be sold directly by
negotiation
More than one adjoining
landowner, property may be sold
by private bid auction, to the
adjoining landowner with the
highest bid
Recommendation
It is recommended by the Transportation and Public Works Department that the Council, by sixteen (16) resolutions, declare certain City owned parcels as exempt and non ‐exempt surplus, authorize and direct the City Manager or their designee to submit Notices of Availability for non ‐exempt parcels, convey exempt parcels to an adjacent property owner by bid procedure as set out in Council Policy 000 ‐10, and take all necessary action to fully comply with the Surplus Lands Act.
