• Conformance with Provisions of Government Code Sections 54220 thru 54233: <br />California Government Code Sections 54220 thru 54233 requires that a local agency <br />proposing to dispose of surplus property must first notify all governmental agencies <br />operating within the City as to the availability of the property. The agencies are given 60 <br />days to respond with an intent to acquire, if not, the property may be deemed cleared for <br />public sale. (note: Government Code Sections 54220 thru 54233 requirements do not <br />apply to disposition of real property that has not been used by the City and acquired or <br />held for purposes of exchange or sale as a remnant in connection with implementation of <br />a City project). <br />Community Comment Required Prior to Issuance of Solicitation: Prior to the City <br />Council approving properties for inclusion on the list of properties available for disposition, <br />or authorizing issuance of solicitations for disposition (e.g. Requests for Proposal, listing <br />for sale or lease, etc.), the City shall conduct a noticed neighborhood meeting pursuant to <br />Section 2-153, subsections (b) through (h) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code (relevant <br />portions of Ordinance NS -2838 "Sunshine Ordinance") in order to obtain neighborhood <br />comment on the proposed disposition and future use(s) of the real property in question. <br />• Special Requirements Related to Disposition of Park Land: Real property designated <br />as park land often have special restrictions related to the source of funds used for the <br />original acquisition or site development. Such restrictions can arise from covenants <br />restricting use to park purposes and the source of funds used to acquire the real property. <br />• Appraisal and Authorization of sale by City Council: Upon approval by the City <br />Council that a property may be sold, the City Manager is authorized to sell the property for <br />a price equal to or greater than a minimum price established by a current (less than one <br />(1) year old) appraisal. <br />• Method of Sale: Properties may be sold by any method allowed by the Municipal Code <br />and this Policy. This includes direct negotiation, request for proposal, listing with a broker, <br />sealed bid, auction or other appropriate method as recommended by the City Manager <br />and approved by the City Council. As appropriate, disposition agreements shall include <br />reasonable "clawback" provisions that provide the City the ability to regain ownership of a <br />property as one remedy for non-performance by purchaser or lessee under a disposition <br />agreement or lease. <br />Marketing: Properties offered for sale shall receive the widest possible exposure to the <br />market. This may be accomplished through direct marketing techniques, such as requests <br />for proposals (RFPs), advertising, exposure through the real estate media, posting the <br />property on the multiple listing service or any other appropriate method. <br />60A-30 <br />
