A. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE USE OF IDENTIFIED METHODS TO
DISPOSE OF REAL PROPERTY (JOINT CONSIDERATION WITH THE
PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL).
Mr. Greenwood explained that with the dissolution of redevelopment agencies a
few years back, cities are required to dispose of all properties owned by the
agencies. The City Manager has set a goal to complete disposal of the numerous
properties that Palm Desert's Successor Agency owns by June 30, 2018. In order
to expedite the process, staff would like Council to approve the identified methods
for disposal of those properties. Staff is recommending that each property would
be sold through one of three methods, either through a sealed bid process, an
auction process, or sale through the open market in a normal real estate
transaction. Staff intends to focus on the sealed bid and auction process, because
they afford certainty and time, allowing staff to conduct these sales before the
deadline of June 30, 2018. Staff recommended approval of the methods

mentioned, and allow the City Manager to determine which method applies to each
property.
Councilmember/Director Kelly moved to, by Minute Motion: 1) Approve the use of sealed
bid, auction, and open market methods for sale of real property; 2) authorize City Manager to
determine which approved method is appropriate for each property — fund availability will be
identified on a case -by -case basis, depending upon the property and reason for disposing of it.
Motion was seconded by Nestande and carried by a 5-0 vote (AYES: Jonathan, Kelly, Nestande,
Weber, and Harnik; NOES: None).
