Consider City Land Acquisition Policy

At the April 10th City Council worksession, staff presented a proposed Policy for the Sale of City Owned Land.  In discussing the proposed Policy for the Sale of City Owned Land, the City Council suggested that staff begin developing a second policy--a City Land Acquisition Policy.

The purpose of this case is to initiate discussion over the attached proposed City Land Acquisition Policy. 

The purpose of the attached City Land Acquisition Policy is to establish a set of guidelines and criteria that the City shall consider when reviewing the potential acquisition of real estate.

The attached policy includes the following sections: 

• purpose
• objective
• public benefit
• decision criteria

Direct staff to make amendments to the proposed City Land Acquisition Policy; and, to bring forward a revision to a later Council worksession.

Developing the proposed policy is covered under the normal job duties of administration staff.
