These easements are now with the Successor Agency and listed in the Long Range Property Management Plan to be transferred to the City. If Council approves, it will allow staff to transfer the quitclaim deeds to the City so it can have control of the public parking easements in case there are amendments or administrative items to address. Responding to question, he confirmed the Oversight Board has approved this item through the Long Range Plan. Councilman/DirectorJonathan noted that the staff reportwas understandable and the map was very helpful, which he appreciated.
