Memorandum
To: Board of Dirctors
From: Peter Holzmeister
Date: April 16, 2002
Subject: Sale of surplus land at Hansel
You will probably recall that the Board recently declared certain District-owned parcels
surplus. If we are still of the opinion that the parcel should be sold I suggest we now go
to the next step in the process. The process set forth in the law, as described to me by
Steve Gross, requires that we send a written offer to sell or lease the parcel to the
following public entities. The offer needs to be sent by first class mail and must include
the location and a description of the property:
1. Town of Truckee— offer to sell or lease for purpose of developing low- and
moderate-income housing
2. Truckee Donner Recreation & Park District—offer to sell or lease for park and
recreation purposes or open-space purposes
3. State Resources Agency — offer to sell or lease for park and recreation
purposes or open-space purposes
4. Tahoe Truckee Unified School District-for school facilities construction or use
by a school district for open-space purposes
Following is a sample letter, drafted by Steve Gross, for our use:
Sample letter:
The Truckee Donner Public Utility District hereby offers to sell or lease the
property located at[location and description of the property]to the[name of
agency]in accordance with California Government Code Section 54222. if your agency
desires to purchase or lease the property, please notify the Truckee Donner Public Utility
District in writing within 60 days after receipt of this notification. if your agency does not
notify TDPUD of its desire to purchase or lease the property, the property may be sold or
leased to another agency or person.
if you have notified TDPUD of your desire to purchase or lease the property, the TDPUD
will enter into good faith negotiations with your agency, and any other agency expressing
its desire to purchase or lease the property as required by Section 54222, to determine a
mutually satisfactory sales price or lease terms. If the price or terms cannot be agreed
upon after a good faith negotiation period of not less than 60 days, the property may be
disposed of to another person or agency. Please contact Kathy Neus at 530.582.3922
(e-mail: kathyneus@tdpud.org) with any questions.
Very truly yours,
Peter L. Holzmeister
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend that the Board authorize the General Manager to to
offer the surplus District-owned land on Hansel to the above referenced public agencies.
