lour Misiion. To work together to reiposibty grow our community, and to provide quality, coat -effective, and efficient government ierrlcas. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 05/08/2018 By: Katie Schmidt, Administrative Services Information Title: Introduce Ordinance #18-02 Authorizing the City of Ramsey to Sell Five (5) Parcels of Real Property 7. 4. Purpose/Background: As required by the City Charter, the city must pass an ordinance to declare and sell surplus city -owned land no longer needed for current or future city functions. The purpose of this case is to introduce such an ordinance The total number of parcels identified within this ordinance is five (5). See attached map. This case will be brought back to the City Council on May 22 for final adoption. Three (3) parcels were identified as surplus city owned land through the future Public Works Campus Space Needs Analysis conducted in 2016. In other words, the city owns more land today than what is needed in the future, for a new public works campus. The extra/ remnant city owned land is included in this ordinance The land still needed for the future Public Works Campus is remaining under city control. Please see attached study, Option A, Page 41 for details. The other two (2) parcels are located in the center of The COR, and are directly related to the Inland/ Affinity senior apartment complex. This case is considered administrative. Staff would like pass this ordinance now, to avoid delaying a project/ process in the future, when an actual deal comes to the city. This is an effort to be as "shovel -ready" as reasonably possible. As some Council members may recall, the City did a similar exercise in 2015, at which time roughly 20 city owned parcels were identified surplus city -owned land via Ordinance #15-05. This ordinance does not approve the sale, or require the sale, of city -owned land. This ordinance simply allows the city to sell city -owned land. Individual land transactions will be reviewed and approved on a case -by -case basis, in the future, depending on the merits of individual proposals Notification: After adoption, a notification of this ordinance will be posted in the Union Herald. Funding Source: NA Recommendation: Staff recommends that City Council adopt Ordinance #18-02. Action:
