Background and Analysis:
The adjacent property owner conveyed the parcel, known as the 500 Block of Bing Street, to the City with a Warranty Deed on August 26, 1967. The Warranty Deed conveyed fee ownership to the City and stated that the conveyance is for roadway purposes. The parcel has not been, nor is it planned to be used, for that purpose. The disposition of fee ownership requires a surplus action rather than street vacation.
AFE-Evergreen L.P. (AFE) the owner of the adjacent property entered into a Right-of-Way Maintenance Agreement with the City of Olympia in December 2000. The agreement authorizes AFE to use the City owned parcel, known as the 500 Block of Bing Street, for a period of twenty (20) years for parking, trash enclosure, shed placement and an ingress/egress driveway.
AFE recently requested that the City extend the agreement. Upon further review of the agreement and City needs, staff determined that it is in the City’s and AFE’s best interest to convey the parcel to AFE and relinquish all City rights and liability to the City’s parcel.
Staff is proposing that Council declare this parcel as surplus and to authorize the City Manager or his designee to dispose of this property in accord with the City’s established Procedures for the Evaluation of City Real Property for Reuse and Disposal.

Options:
1. Adopt a Resolution declaring the real property parcel, known as the 500 Block of Bing Street, as surplus and authorizing the City Manager or his designee to dispose of said property in accord with the City’s established Procedures for the Evaluation of City Real Property for Reuse and Disposal.
2. Do not declare the parcel as surplus and provide direction to staff on next steps.
Financial Impact:
The disposition of this parcel does not require expenditure of City funds. Staff’s opinion is that disposition of the parcel will not generate or be a source of revenue to the City. The adjacent owner deeded the property to the City without compensation. Conveying the property back to the adjacent owner relieves the City of costs for maintenance and legal liability.
