Riley, Assistant City Manager August 6, 2004 (City Council Meeting of Sept. 1, 2004) Sale of Surplus, 1,500 Square Foot Metal Building at VCWWD Equipment Yard - 7150 Walnut Canyon Rd., Moorpark, CA BACKGROUND: The City Council is requested to declare as surplus property and approve the sale of the 1,500 Square Foot Metal Building located at the Ventura County Waterworks District No. 1(VCWWD) Equipment Yard - 7150 Walnut Canyon Rd., Moorpark, CA to the Ventura County Watershed Protection District for the negotiated price of $24,500. The building is no longer needed by the City. The building was formerly occupied by the City's Vector Control and Animal Control Division. These operations have now relocated to the former Fire Station 42 building at 782 Moorpark Avenue on an interim basis until the new City Corporate Yard facility is completed. The steel building was acquired and erected in August 1987 by the Moorpark Mosquito Abatement District (MMAD) at a total cost including engineering of $52,200. It was valued at $ 53,452 in the District's 1997 Financial Statements. The alternative to such a sale would be to dismantle the building and remove it from the site at an undetermined cost with a subsequent sale of the building's components to attempt to at least recover those costs or to offer it for sale with the purchaser required to remove it. The City may elect to sell the property to another public agency forgoing a formal bid process. The Watershed Protection District intends to use the building on its present site and thus a public benefit is derived from the transaction. Staff recommends the sale of the building to the Watershed Protection District in an "as is" condition. ®_)OIC5 Honorable City Council August 6, 2004 Page 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Declare as surplus property and approve sale of 1,500 square foot building located on leased property at 7150 Walnut Canyon Road. 000166
