IX. NEW BUSINESS
A. REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO CONVEY CERTAIN REAL PROPERTIES
FROM THE CITY OF PALM DESERT TO THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE
PALM DESERT REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY(JOINT CONSIDERATION WITH
THE PALM DESERT CITY COUNCIL).
Mr. Alvarez stated that in February 2011 and prior to the dissolution of
Redevelopment, the former Redevelopment Agency transferred all its properties,
approximately 69 parcels, to the City's holdings. He said that due to recent
developments, the Department of Finance and State Controllers Office was
requiring those properties to be transferred back to the Successor Agency. As
discussed at the Study Session earlier today,this action will allow staff to proceed
with the filing of the long-range property management plan, which allows the
retention of public benefit parcels.
Mayor Pro Tem/Vice Chair Kroonen moved to: 1) Waive further reading and adopt City
Council Resolution No. 2012 - 73, authorizing and approving the conveyance of certain real
property from the City to the Successor Agency to the Palm Desert Redevelopment Agency; 2)
Waive further reading and adopt Successor Agency Resolution No. SA-RDA 014, accepting the
conveyance of real property from the City; 3) By Minute Motion, authorize the Mayor/Chair to
execute any and all documents necessary for the conveyance. Motion was seconded by Harnik
