Resolution No. 194
Authorizing the Transfer of Real Property to the Redevelopment
Commission
In an ongoing effort to title City owned properties in the name of the correct City entity,
staff has identified certain parcels that should be in the Commission's name because they
are properties which can be redeveloped.
Resolution No. 194 authorizes the transfer of four Authority owned parcels in the old
Studebaker Museum block, just to the east of the Cove. Along with two parcels owned
by the Board of Public Works, these parcels make up roughly three quarters of this
downtown block.
At its May 14 meeting, the Commission approved the acceptance of these properties,
including the BPW parcels in this block.
Once all bodies approve their respective resolutions, deeds will be prepared to complete
the transfer.
Staff requests approval of Resolution No. 194, to authorize the transfer of these parcels
to the Commission.
