Approval of Motion declaring certain properties to be surplus and authorizing staff to issue an RFP/RFQ for the properties commonly known as the City owned parcels at the HD King former site.
Ms. Grohall gave a presentation on the surplus properties at the HD King former site and answered questions from the Board regarding the site cleanup guarantee, joining city and FPRA properties and parking on Parcel 4.
Chairman Hayek stated his biggest fear is the city selling off a small parcel instead of bringing in a big package with a really nice development. Chairman Hayek also suggested that the city and FPRA parcels be joined together.
Board discussion ensued.

BOARD COMMENTS
The Board commented on the premium parking downtown and parking should be considered when developing new property.
Ms. Grohall stated the former HD King site is a big parcel with an opportunity for a hotel to build a small parking garage to service the community and most of the people they have spoken to understand the city is very interested in seeing additional parking above and beyond what the code requires.
