Mr. Anderson said, "This is exactly what we are looking for the future needs <br /> of the water division." The policy also went on to state ...."the purpose is to preserve the <br /> assets for utilities even after declared surplus,". <br /> Mr. Anderson requested that Legal look at the process more closely. Mr. Anderson said, <br /> "it looks like after a property is declared surplus it is up to Real Property division to give us <br /> the best price possible and that all of the funds recovered from the sale of property <br /> formally owned by the utility will come back to the utility. The City Administrative Manual <br /> that relates to this says that if the sale is for other than cash the terms of the sale must <br /> come back to the Board presented back by the Real Property division. So in summary <br />
