Over time, the need <br />for these assets and interests can change, thereby creating an opportunity for their use for other <br />purposes. By allowing remnant, unneeded, or marginally used City -owned real property assets to <br />be employed for other purposes, the City and its residents can benefit from private improvements <br />which provide property tax and sales tax revenue through economic development opportunities. <br />The City's remnant parcels for disposition associated with the recommended action above were all <br />acquired with grant funding for municipal operations and various improvement projects, such as <br />Federal and State grants. The proceeds from the sale of these properties are restricted and must <br />be used to reimburse the granting agencies, and/or to fund improvements within the same or similar <br />project. <br />The recommended action will authorize staff to solicit twenty-three combined parcels <br />recommended for Request for Proposals (RFP) disposition, and allow direct negotiations for five <br />substandard parcels with adjacent properties owners. <br />19D-1 <br />
