Staff provided an overview of the request. The property was recently sold, and the
buyer had requested the City release its interest (i.e. matured liens). In addition, this
property is currently placarded (i.e. uninhabitable). In accordance with Policy, staff
shared with the buyer that a developer agreement would have to be executed for the
City to release its interest. The agreement would lay out timelines and work to be
completed as well as include a reverter clause so if the work is not completed, the
property would return to the City. An Order authorizing this agreement would be placed
on the next Council agenda, to allow this work and agreement to proceed.
