Discussion:The City purchased this property to include in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP)
with the intent to build a home on the lot for low-to-moderate income buyers. The NSP grant contract
was for rehab of homes and the new construction of 10 homes. After completion ofbuilding the 10
homes contracted for the program, we were unable to complete this 1 Ith additional home due to cost
increases for the building contractov. Thus, staff has determined the best course of action is to dispose
of the property. An appraisal was completed on this property on May 17, 2013 which determined a
value of$7,5DD.
Since the City's intent for this property was to build a house, the city included in the bid that there
would be restrictions banning mobile homes and other possible restrictions inthe deed. The deed will
"pmohibitrnobi|e/rnanufactured homes for residential use" on the property and the high bidder isaware
of this restriction. The bid process culminated with a bid opening on January 6, 3014 at which the City
received 8 bids and 1 no bid.The high bid isfor$1[\SS1.
Resolution 2014'07 will accept the bid from Mark Smith in the amount of $1O,SS1, and authorize the
City Manager tosign all the necessary documents tocomplete the sale.
