There are two General Fund properties and three Utilities owned properties proposed to be surplused. Paul McKee,the City's real property manager,gave city council a presentation on March 18,2020 regarding the proposal to surplus these properties. The intent of the presentation was to indicate the general location of properties and describe the next step in the surplusing process. At that time,council requested to receive additional information regarding each property prior to the public hearing date. Though intended to be sent to you on Thursday of this week,the attached is a short powerpoint that visually depicts each of the properties and provides key information about the each property's history and valuation. Wood Creek Property As part of the city's notification process regarding property surplusing public hearings,all adjacent property owners to each city owned parcel were notified of the May 27,2020 planned public hearing. Since the notification process began, a several comments have been received by staff regarding the"Woods Creek" property. It is the largest of the properties proposed to be surplused, is approximately 92.5 acres and is owned by the city's Utilities Division. As you will see on the Woods Creek property slides,approximately 15 acres of the 92.5 acres is likely developable. The 15 acres are situated east and west of the southernmost set of homes in the Valley View neighborhood. The development portion is zoned single family residential. This acreage is considered the"upland" portion the property. The remainder of the property contains Woods Creek and has a sloping topography.This acreage, approximately 77.5 acres in total,is not developable.The entire property(92.5 acres) is surplus to the original intent of the purchase in 1916,that is to supply the City with a source of water. The public hearing will include a staff presentation from Paul McKee. Additionally, staff from planning/economic development and public works will also be available to answer questions that you may have about this property. Included in the presentation will be a summary of the comments received. Additionally,staff will provide copies of all comments received and those comments will be made part of the public record. In advance of the presentation, and to date,the comments received regarding the Woods Creek property are in general opposition to its sale. Surplus Process The process to surplus property includes an initial presentation by staff. If there is no objection at the time of briefing, staff prepares a surplusing resolution for council consideration at the time a public hearing is held regarding a surplusing proposal. (At the March 18,2020 council meeting, no objection was raised by council to proceed to the next step.) If council approves a surplusing resolution,the properties that council surplused are then offered for sale. Any property sale would then require the council to approve a purchase and sale agreement. 11
