body
BACKGROUND
The District has owned the current 0.53 acre parcel located at 1317 McKinstry Street, Napa, APN 044-260-004 (the “Property”) since 2005 as a portion of the larger parcel (formerly APN 044-260-001) acquired to mitigate parking losses on Napa Valley Railroad property associate with Flood Project construction. On November 1, 2005, the Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 05-15 (FC) declaring the Property as surplus. After that declaration, District staff complied fully with the Surplus Lands Act (Government Code sections 54220 et seq.) prior to initiating steps to sell the Property. The District received no notices, proposals or indications of any interest in the Property from any of the agencies or entities specified by the Surplus Lands Act to whom notice was given of the Board’s decision to declare the Property as surplus. County staff has obtained an appraisal report of the Property from the Associated Right of Way Services dated August 14, 2023. Based on the appraisal and after consulting with real estate experts, District staff believe the fair market value of the parcel is $1,100,000.
District staff is recommending to the Board that the Property be sold to a bidder whose financial qualifications and proposals for use of the Property demonstrate that the bidder is capable of consummating purchase of the Property in a timely manner, and that the bidder’s proposed use of the Property is compatible with the zoning and general plan applicable to the site. In furtherance of those goals, District staff will issue a preliminary Request for Proposals (“RFP”) to invite Bids from those potential buyers.
Before the process of selling the Property may proceed, Government Code section 25526 requires that the Board of Directors, by at least a majority vote of all of its members, adopt a resolution declaring its intention to sell the Property, setting forth a description of the Property, the minimum price for sale of the Property, and any other terms and conditions of such sale that shall apply to all bids and proposals ("Bids") in order to have their Bids deemed to be responsive and to make the Bids eligible for consideration. Pursuant to Government Code section 25539, the Board may also order the use of a procedure for sale of the Property different than that specified in sections 25526 et seq. by designating who shall conduct the sale and the date, time and place of the opening and consideration of sealed Bids. The proposed resolution does so, and staff recommends and requests that the Board adopt the resolution.
The proposed resolution sets the minimum sale price and all other terms, conditions and procedures applicable to the sale of the property in accordance with Government Code sections 25526 et seq., and pursuant to the District Bylaws and related purchasing policy.
