Background and Analysis:
In January 2013, Council adopted a set of procedures to aid staff and Council in evaluating potential surplus property to determine the proper disposition, i.e. whether to sell it or re-purpose. A significant change since the adoption of these procedures is a focus on Economic Development.
The current procedures are silent on the use of City-owned properties for economic development purposes. The proposed revisions by staff would exempt properties identified by Council and/or staff for Economic Development partnerships from going through the formal disposition process. The proposed draft revisions are attached.
Neighborhood/Community Interests (if known):
None.
