CITY COUNCIL
City Council Regular Meeting. February 7, 2006
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ISSUE
As part of the Downtown redevelopment process the City has purchased several properties on a willing
seller basis. In October 2004, the City Council authorized an fnterfund loan for $2,000,000 to land
acquisition. Due to the impending purchase of the Genz Ryan property additional funds need to be
transferred to cover the sale. The City has purchased two additional residential properties with the
previous fnterfund loan; leaving the transfer short of what is needed for the Genz Ryan property.
SUMMARY
Staff is recommending authorization to transfer $300,000. This will cover the Genz Ryan purchase and will
allow a small amount to purchase another residence, should one become available. In the recent past, staff
has been approached by two different residential land owners expressing interest in the City purchasing
their property. Ultimately, both have not come to fruition but staff would prefer have the option should
something become available Of course the Port Authority would have to approve any purchase agreement
for another purchase so there is future opportunity to discuss purchases prior to expending the funds
