LUiSQ°ISP0,Grp TO: John Dunn, City Administrative Officer FROM: Mike McCluskey, Public Works Directo?1� SUBJECT: Purchase of Tax-Defaulted Land J Via a recent e-mail to you and Paul LeSage, I informed you both that I had been given one day's notice to review properties listed as being in default of taxes and available for purchase by the City. I quickly reviewed all of the properties and identified a number of properties that the City would be interested in purchasing and returned that letter directly to the Tax Collector's Office of San Luis Obispo County. I had the help in doing this of Roger with the Community Development Department. Actually Allen Hopkins of the Community Development Department gave me the information, and without his submittal I would not have been able to make the response to the Tax Collector. As a result of that letter to the Tax Collector, I was informed that two of the properties that we had designated are actually available for our purchase. They will cost the City $150.00 a piece, plus publication costs. The two properties are located on Calle Joaquin adjacent to open space and have a current assessed value in total of $239,800. With City ownership, the City would be able to keep the entire property in open space or develop a part of it and use the proceeds from that partial development to acquire other properties for open space. However prior to acquiring the property for open space, the two following actions must occur: 1) City Council must hold a special meeting and pass a resolution agreeing to purchase the property and authorize the Mayor to sign the attached copies of the purchase agreement; and 2) the Board of Supervisors must meet and declare the property surplus and allow the City to purchase it via the attached agreement. The Board of Supervisors, due to the total valuation of the property, may decide to hold a public auction of the property rather than to allow the City to purchase the two properties for a total of $300.00. However, at this time we must go on the assumption that the tax defaulted properties are available to the City for that amount of money. I therefore ask for your cooperation in arranging at least three of the Council members to meet, and that of the City Clerk to call a special meeting for a very quick consent item to purchase the two properties. The meeting must take place and the agreements must be signed and to the Tax Collector's Office by August 8. All the information needed is attached to this memo.
