The City Council on Sept. 10 adopted Resolution 2025‑14 declaring the city‑owned San Am travel station building surplus and authorizing the city manager to initiate steps toward sale.

City Manager Ron Whitlidge told councilors the property had been renovated previously with grant funds; state and historic‑preservation staff (SHPO) advised that a historic restriction on the deed will remain but that no grant funds are expected to be recaptured if the property is sold. Whitlidge said the city has an appraisal on the property and staff intend to engage a realtor and solicit offers once the surplus declaration is adopted.

Adoption of the resolution allows the city to publish public notice and schedule a disposition public hearing. Whitlidge said the public hearing on surplus disposition would be scheduled in October and would allow councilors and members of the public to comment on any proposed sale or purchase offers before a final transaction.

Councilor motioned to adopt the resolution; council voted to approve the resolution (recorded voice vote: all members present signified “aye”), and staff will proceed with public notice and the sale process.
