WHY THIS MATTER IS BEFORE THE BOARD Only the Board can appoint a District negotiator. 2. HISTORY The District owns three large parcels between Pioneer Commerce Center and the old Forest Services property off Euer Valley Road. On April 18, 2007, the Board declared two parcels surplus and letters were sent to the four agencies; none of the agencies expressed an interest in any of the parcels. The remaining third parcel was intended to be the location of the District's Corporation Yard. At the April 18, 2007 Board Meeting, a recommendation was made to appraise the surplus parcels. The Board decided to postpone this action. 3. NEW INFORMATION Staff proposes that the District sells the two parcels. Staff also proposes to utilize a special process (attached) to facilitate the sale of the parcels identified as Nevada County APN's 19-400-28 and 19-400-29. Staff is recommending that the Board appoint the General Manager as the District Negotiator. Staff will also seek negotiation parameters at a later closed session. 4. FISCAL IMPACT The fiscal impact is yet to be determined; however one of the first steps in the process is to have the parcels appraised at an estimated cost of $2,000. 5. RECOMMENDATION Appoint the General Manager as the District's negotiator concerning Nevada County APN's 19-400-28 and 19-400-29; direct staff to retain an appraiser to appraise the properties and begin the sale process. - /-"2• Michael D.
