A. It is the general policy of the City to retain all real property and real property interests that it owns in trust for the present and future benefit of the City and its residents. The City may dispose of lands that are not needed for municipal purposes. Prior to disposing of real property the City should give due consideration to: (1) existing and planned utility needs; (2) existing and planned roads, sidewalks, and nonmotorized trails; (3) needs for open space, recreation areas, or other public facilities; (4) existing or planned municipal buildings and structures; and (5) advisory documents of the City (i.e., road plans, utility plans or the General Plan).

B. Real property held by the City is only subject to disposal if it is determined that: (1) the real property is not needed for present or reasonably anticipated City operations; (2) the conveyance is in the public interest; and (3) the conveyance is made in exchange for adequate consideration. The disposal of real property by the City is a legislative act approved by the City Council by ordinance or resolution, as appropriate. (Ord. 22-04, 2022)
