for a set period of time, the owner would not enter into negotiations for the lease or sale of all or a portion of the property with any other entity or person. b. If the council wants to secure exclusive rights to the property without entering into a PSA, the council can direct the City Manager to seek a purchase option on the property, a process which would likely require an option fee to be paid by the city for an established period of time. The owner could still seek to lease out space in the building subject to the City deciding whether or not to enter into a PSA. The amount of the purchase option may or may not be applicable to the purchase price of the building. c. The council can choose to not enter into any agreement with the property owner while the City explores its options. 2. The council can choose to direct that a public involvement process be initiated to seek community input on options for City Hall and bring back the results to council prior to council break which begins August 13. 3. The council can choose to direct other actions with regard to the Police Facility and City Hall or prioritize other uses for the Facility Reserve. CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends options 1a and 2. SUGGESTED MOTIONS A. Move to direct the City Manager to attempt to negotiate a purchase and sale agreement (PSA) for the property at 300 Country Club Road for a price to be determined following completion of an appraisal, and to make the PSA contingent upon council approval of the purchase price.
