ORDRRM,
THAT WHEREAS, the procedures for disposition and redevelopment
of Community Development parcels be established as follows:
A. DISPOSAL OF LAND
Method of Disposal - The City may dispose of Community
Development Parcels by sale or lease in accordance with
any method permitted by law to a developer selected
either by negotiated sale of land or competitive pro-
posal. However, prior to the execution of any agree-
ments, the City Council shall byresolution, council
order or similar action: -
a. Approve all agreements and conditions; and
b. Approve the disposition price.
Tentative Developer Status - The City Council shall
review and evaluate all redevelopment proposals
submitted. If a proposal received is acceptable to the
City Council, the Council shall adopt a resolution
designating the entity which submitted the proposal as
tentative 'developer of the property involved. Tentative
Developer designation has the effect of temporarily
ceasing the availability of the property involved to
others for the purpose of allowing time for the developer
and City to negotiate and enter an option Agreement.
Developer's oval ifications - Before designating any
leve o�per as
tentative developer, the City Council shall
determine that the developer possesses the qualifica-
tions and financial resources to acquire and develop the
land as proposed by the developer. Transfer of land will
contain the qualification that construction or renovation
begin and be completed within dates agreed upon. The
City may, if it deems necessary, require the developer as
part of the agreement to post a performance bond in an
amount to be set by the City. The City may, at its
discretion and for good cause, reject any prospective
developer based on an analysis of pertinent data relating
to his qualifications and financial resources.
