These remnant parcels must be identified and disposed of in order to reduce the City's liability. <br />Sometimes these remnant parcels have value only to the adjacent property owner.

Manage Sales Activities on City Owned Properties <br />During the past several years, the City has accumulated a number of remnant parcels as a result of full acquisition <br />of properties necessary for the widening of the arterial streets. After completion of the projects, the remainder <br />parcels became surplus vacant lots and are available for development. These lots are assets that could potentially <br />generate millions of dollars to the City's Capital Improvement Program and be used for widening projects. APA <br />will set up procedures to best market and sell these surplus properties. In setting up the procedures APA will <br />review the funding sources that were used to purchase the properties for any limitation of the re -use of the lots <br />and consult with all City departments having jurisdiction in the development of the parcels. <br />Page 112 <br />
