Staff will be seeking feedback and input from Council on the path forward for planning for the future of the City property located at 419 N. Mogollon, also known as the Mogollon property or the old Public Works yard.

Staff will provide a brief update on the current uses and condition of the property and an overview of the history of the property. Staff will then review public participation options for Council's consideration and input. Council will be requested to provide feedback on the following:
- What is Council's vision for the property?
- Is the Council willing to consider uses for the property outside of those identified in the 1957 ordinance (Ordinance No. 425)?
- What is Council's public participation objective?
- What is Council's requested timeline for the public participation process?

The City's Public Works Division moved out of the Mogollon property in 2018. Since then, the Sustainability Section has moved their offices to one of the buildings onsite and overnight parking is provided onsite as well. In 2019, Facilities Maintenance staff worked with contractors and an environmental consultant to demolish the old Streets building and other garage buildings, remove ancillary structures such as the canopy and concrete that housed the above-ground fuel storage tanks, and old asphalt areas. The consultant assisted with areas that needed remediation and excavation and the site was cleared at the end of the project. Additional projects, such as new security fencing, will be completed later this year. The oldest building on site, a malapais stone building that housed Fleet Services, has historic potential and was not included in the demolition or remediation work.

From the time it was known that Public Works would be moving out of this location, there has been much public interest in the future of the site. Some members of the adjacent neighborhood have worked together to develop a park concept plan for the redevelopment of the site, and several groups have contacted the city with interest in using the old Fleet building. There has also been discussion about including some affordable housing units on the property when it is redeveloped, although there is an existing Ordinance from 1957 (Number 425) that dedicates the property as Public Parks for the "exclusive use of Park, Recreational and Museum purposes."

Other considerations are that there is limited funding for continuing maintenance needs to keep the property secure and free of unwanted vegetation and litter. Additionally, there is no funding currently available for redevelopment of the site, so maintaining the site as-is will need to continue.

Given the location of the property as part of the regional Thorpe Park, the variety of suggested future uses for the property, and the possibility of including housing, staff are bringing forward this discussion item to get feedback and direction from Council as to what their vision is for the future of the property.
