The Agency proposes to sell the real property where the Seal Beach Animal Shelter is located ("Property") to long-term tenant Friends of Seal Beach Animal Care Center, Inc. ("Friends") a California Public Benefit Corporation. The Agency purchased the Property in 1976, as surpfus land adjacent to where the Seal Beach Police Department was planned. The Police Department was constructed soon thereafter, and the surplus land was undeveloped until the Shelter began operating inthe mid-eighties. Section 2. In the spring of 2004, the City commissioned Organizational Effectiveness Consulting to perform an efficiency study concerning the Police Department. Based, in part, upon the drain to city resources, the report recommended that the property be sold. There were a number of reasons for this recommendation. As shown in the staff report, there are a ,number of positive benefits for the Agency, the City, the Animal Care Center and the residents of Seal Beach. ' I Section 3. The Agency will not incur any costs in connection with the proposed sale, other than transactlonal costs. Other than any incremental cost that the surplus property may have added to the purchase price when the land was bundled with the land purchased to construct the police station in 1976, there were no acquisition costs to the Agency. There are no additional land acquisition costs, clearance costs, relocation costs, improvement costs or financing/interest costs. As shown in the staff report for a related item, the Friends,haye incurred expenditures in excess of $170,000 improving the property, - -+ at no cost to:the City0r~~.g~ncy. The sale ofthe land ~d the agreement transferring animal control servIces from'tIie.~ity represents an annual savmgs of about $71,856. The Agency will no longer hav.e\to~3hcur upkeep, repair and maintenance costs associated with ownership. Th.e"s~vings\~ws's'i ciated with reduced liability exposure cannot be quantified. . -- k.' ." \~~~);;:~Jif~~~~Y7. The sale will assist in the elimination of blight in direct and indirecf~~1,g -~,~~ig.;~)stent with the implementation plan for the Project Area adopted pursuant t%~~<rsafety Code Section 33490. Perhaps the most immediate benefit is that the Friends' activities to shelter stray animals and to keep strays and dangerous animals from roaming the Project Area eliminates blight and increases property values. Equally significant, the Friends' ownership of the shelter and the transfer of animal control services from the City create significant annual savings. Agency and city resources can be better spent on eliminating blight and making improvements in the Project Area. Due to the cost savings outlined in the staff report, such funds may be redirected to public improvements and projects that will assist in the elimination of blight and improve public services. The Project Area is characterized by the e~istence, of inadequate open spaces, public improvements and public facilities. The availability of funds for future improvements, including in and to the Project Area, will. benefit the health" safety and welfare of the residents and taxpayers of the Project Area and the immediate neighborhood. The sale will assist in the elimination of conditions of blight within the Project Area caused by inadequate public improvements. This in turn will assist in eliminating a factor that negatively impacts the value of property within the Project Area. I Section 5. A summary report of this proposed sale has been made available for public inspection (and copying at a cost not exceeding the cost of duplication). --. .... ~__,r Resolution Number 5) 7/ Section 6. Notice of a joint public meeting to be held by the City Council and the Agency regarding the approval for the sale has been duly given in the manner required by law. ' Section 7. Based upon the foregoing and the evidence presented at the hearing, including the staff report, the consideration for the sale is not less than the fair I reuse value of the Property at the use and with the covenants and conditions authorized by the sale. Section 8. The City hereby approves the Purchase and Sale Agreement for the sale (and all documents described therein) in the form attached as Attachment A to the staff report.
