Section 6. Methods for Leasing/Licensing. <br /> The City may lease or license City-owned real property, using one of the following <br /> methods: <br /> A. A call for bids to obtain the highest obtainable rent given the terms. <br /> B. A request for proposals to obtain a proposal that provides the most advantageous <br /> special conditions on the use of the City-owned real property. <br /> C. Negotiations with a designated person or organization. <br /> In conjunction with any method above, a public hearing on the proposed lease or license <br /> may be set and the hearing held prior to taking action on the proposed lease or license. <br /> For those leases or licenses that come before Council, in conjunction with bringing the <br /> proposed lease to Council, the affected department head will make a recommendation to <br /> the Council as to the method that may be most appropriate for achieving the Council's <br /> goals with respect to the City-owned real property. <br /> Section 7. Effect of additional statutory requirements. <br /> Certain provisions of the Revised Code of Washington impose additional and/or <br /> inconsistent conditions on the leasing of City-owned real property. Where necessary, the <br /> City shall comply with those laws, treating them as limited exceptions to this Ordinance. <br /> The following are merely examples of these laws as they may from time to time be <br /> amended. The advice of the City Attorney's Office should be sought whenever there are <br /> questions about the application of laws to proposed leasing transactions: <br /> A. RCW Chapter 35.94, relating to the lease or sale of land, property or equipment <br /> originally acquired for public utility purposes, imposes additional steps to those otherwise <br /> required in other sections of this Ordinance. <br /> B. RCW Chapters 39.33 and 39.34 impose additional steps to those otherwise required in <br /> other sections of this Ordinance. These statutes affect intergovernmental real estate <br /> transactions where the estimated value of the property exceeds $50,000. <br /> C. RCW 35.42.010— 35.42.090, relating to leasing of City-owned land where the purpose <br /> of the lease is to erect a building for City use and lease back the building, impose <br /> additional conditions to those already required in other sections of this Ordinance. <br /> Section 8. Severability. <br /> If any section, subsection, clause, sentence, or phrase of this ordinance should be held <br /> invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining <br /> portions of this ordinance. <br /> 3 <br />
