Item 4: Bethel Community Park Deed Transfer

Home Browse Search

The remaining step of separating the legal ownerships, consistent with the partition and intended ownership can be accomplished by executing deeds for each parcel to the intended long-term owner. Specifically, the City will transfer its interest in parcels 1 and 3 to District 52, and District 52 will transfer its interest in parcel 2 to the City. Upon consultation with the City Attorney, it was concluded that the most appropriate process for this transaction would be the process outlined in Eugene Code Section 2.868 (governmental transactions), which provides that the council may dispose of real property to any governmental entity without notice or hearing. Under those provisions, the council can adopt a motion authorizing the City Manager to transfer the property consistent with the terms described in the agenda item summary (AIS) or in an attachment to the AIS. RELATED CITY POLICIES No policies were found relating to this proposed action. COUNCIL OPTIONS A. Approve the motion. B. Decline to approve the motion. C. Other, as directed by the council. CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION The City Manager recommends that the council approve the motion. SUGGESTED MOTION Move to authorize the City Manager to transfer to the Bethel School District all property rights in parcels 1 and 3 as shown on Attachment A in exchange for Bethel’s transfer to the City of all property rights in parcel 2 as shown on Attachment A.
