TO: Honorable City Council e ®v.— r + i FROM: Jessica Sandifer, Program Manag• DATE: February 9, 2016 (CC Meeting of 2/1 ' 016) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending FY 2015-16 Budget for Funding to Conduct Various Pre-Purchase Property Investigations BACKGROUND & DISCUSSION The City Manager, pursuant to authorization from the City Council, negotiates purchases of property on the City's behalf. Once the negotiations are completed, there is typically a due diligence period at which point the City performs various property investigations. These investigations typically include building inspections and Phase I environmental site assessments. These investigations inform City staff about the conditions of the property and the site and help staff determine whether the acquisition will be completed, or if the price needs to be re-negotiated based on the inspection findings. In December, staff requested a budget amendment of $15,000 for pre- purchase property investigations at 61 E. High Street and 702 Walnut Street. Due to the need to conduct a Phase II investigation at 61 E. High Street, the funds were depleted. Staff is now in the process of conducting pre-purchase property investigations at 702 Walnut Street. Staff is requesting a budget amendment of $31,000. This will provide enough funding for the investigations and a potential Phase II, if required, as well as leaving additional funds available should the need arise for property investigations on future properties. The funds will be budgeted in the Property Maintenance Division, but the expenses will be accounted for as a part of the overall property acquisitions, should the property purchase be finalized. Additionally, the City will be performing a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) at 500 Los Angeles Avenue, in preparation for selling the property. Staff is requesting a budget amendment of $14,000 to conduct the Phase II. The costs will be repaid by the property purchaser at time of sale. FISCAL IMPACT Staff is requesting an additional $45,000 from the Endowment Fund (2800) for pre- purchase property investigations at 702 Walnut Street and 500 Los Angeles Avenue, as well as, potential future property acquisitions. 52 Honorable City Council February 17, 2016 Page 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATION (ROLL CALL VOTE) Adopt Resolution No. 2016- , amending the Fiscal Year 2015/16 budget for pre- purchase property investigations as outlined in the staff report.
