SUBJECT:
Ordinanoe for Disposition of City Property
for Sale or Lea.e
since 1986 the only City legislation regarding the sale or
lease of City owned property has been Resolution No. 86-18491,
which is being provided as back up for the proposed legislation
accompanying this memorandum.
In order to have meaningful laws addressing the subject of
City owned property, Commissioner Shapiro has taken the existing
resolution and strengthened it in several significant ways,
including making this a law as opposed to a policy and by requiring
a public hearing before the City commission as opposed to an
advisory body.
The Legal Department recommends the adoption of the attached
ordinance sponsored by Commissioner Shapiro.
