RECOMMENDATIONS: That the Board of Public Utilities recommend that the City Council: 1. Approve the surplus declaration of approximately 0.61 acres of City -owned vacant land in its as -is condition located at 7270 Bodewin Court bearing Assessor Parcel Number 243- 460-018, formerly known as the Whitegates I Reservoir; and 2. Authorize the marketing and sale of the property located at 7270 Bodewin Court Avenue pursuant to Assembly Bill 1486 and in accordance with the City's Administrative Manual 08.003.00 for the Disposition and Sale of City -Owned Real Property. BACKGROUND: On January 6, 2009, City Council approved the demolition of the Whitegates I Reservoir (Property) after determining it was undersized to adequately serve the current storage needs of the surrounding area. The demolition project included the removal of the existing 0.5 -million -gallon reservoir, pump station, and supporting infrastructure. The Property is located outside the private entrance into the Hawarden Summit, Inc. community on Bodewin Court north of Overlook Parkway. The Hawarden Summit, Inc. community is a non- profit private homeowner association (HOA). The City received interest in the Property on September 10, 2018; however, research revealed access to the Property is restricted to maintenance of the facility which potentially prohibits private development. Annexation into the adjacent Hawarden Summit community would resolve the access matter.
