2018-008 Disposal of Surplus PropertyDate: January 19, 2018 Report No. 2018-008
INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Disposal of surplus property
BACKGROUND:
At the City Council Work Session on August 8, 2017 staff presented information concerning
prospective surplus city owned real property tracts in terms of those available now and those
available in the future. City Council gave direction to move forward with the first group of five
for disposal. Council discussed holding the 2910 University Drive site for a possible future fire
station use.
In an Informal Staff Report, dated September 15, 2017 , it was reported that staff reviewed the
2910 University Drive site and determined it is not feasible for a fire station due to the usable
property on the site after the utility easements and floodplain encumbrances are accounted for.
DISCUSSION:
The city rarely has surplus property, and it was determined by Real Estate staff that the last
process used to dispose of real property was dated and required significant updating. Staff have
researched other cities’ processes and met with both Purchasing and Legal to update and
standardize the process going forward. Real Estate staff will be working with Purchasing and
Legal in the coming weeks to finalize documents.
CONCLUSION:
Staff expects to have a request for proposal (RFP) prepared for advertising by February 16, 2018.
