fact that the City has already paid for a preliminary Title
Report

clear the title from any encumbrance of his being there and
collect as much as possible of the back royalties.

y Council:

.3)_ De signateihe,*proceeds to fund the development of the
Prospect Heights playground.
Background
This item.was before the City Council on April 24, 1984. At
-that time it was also recommended that the surplus lot at
634 1st Street be offered for sale. The Councilaction was
to table the matter until -July due to the possibility that
the First Street lot may be utilized to relieve some parking
problems in that -'area. A copy of the April 24, 1984 report
is included as background material.
Analysis
The First Street lot may.still figure in pending plans to
..-alleviate parking,,'problems near Pacific Coast Highway, - Staff.
'-.is therefore not.recommending that it be offered for sale
at this time..,
Staff is recommending that the 1.158 Cypress lot be offered for --
sale as previously -directed by the City Council. 'As indicated
in the previous report,, State lawrequiresthat cities.offering--
..,..,,.surplus -must

'authorities, redevelapment agencies, park and recreation departments
and the State.Resources Agency.
..Cities are not required to sell the property for less than the
fair market value. The appraised value of the property.is
$95,000.00
If the contacted agencies express no interest in the lot, staff
will proceed with a bid process for sale of the property.
April 19, 1984
City Council Meeting
of April 24, 1984
