14. REPORT ITEMS
14.1 REPORT - DECLARATION OF MULTIPLE CITY OWNED PARCELS
AS EXEMPT AND NON-EXEMPT SURPLUS
BACKGROUND: The City owns approximately 1400 pieces of real property. Many are pieces of right of way (ROW) that are left over (unused) from City projects. Real Estate Services has been working to catalogue these parcels and now that cataloging is complete, staff (Citywide, including Planning and Housing) has reviewed and analyzed 50 of the parcels using specific criteria to determine the operational necessity and potential future use of each parcel. The twenty parcels in this action have been fully reviewed by Staff from many departments to understand how they were acquired and what their current or future use is; each meet the surplus criteria (i.e., no further necessary or operational use for the parcel as reviewed by internal City departments, the parcel is not deeded for a specific public purpose that would restrict disposition of it in any way, etc.).
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.
