Executive Summary: Approval of the staff recommendation will permit payment to the County of half of the surplus proceeds from sale of jointly -owned land, in accordance with terms of the acquisition agreement dated 10 November 2004. Discussion: The City of Palm Desert and Riverside County each held a fifty percent interest in an undeveloped ten -acre parcel north of Miriam Way. The County sold their fifty percent interest to the City in November 2004 after finding that they had no use for it. The agreement that transferred the interest to the City required, in part, that the County receive fifty percent of any surplus proceeds realized if the City subsequently sold the parcel. On 13 January 2005, the City held a public hearing on a proposal to sell the ten acres to the owner of the adjacent property. The resulting sale of the property for $1,742,400 closed escrow in March 2005. The County's share of the surplus proceeds is $186,089.93.
