At the meeting, staff reviewed a set of properties the city recently transferred to the land use agency and asked the board for direction on intended uses and pricing. Most lots matched earlier steering‑committee recommendations, but staff highlighted several parcels that warrant further review. The board voted to send the full inventory to the property management committee for a detailed recommendation.

Staff said the inventory aligns with prior workshop recommendations, except for five parcels flagged for additional review. Staff recommended clarifying each lot’s intended future use on the agency website so potential buyers or neighbors know whether a parcel is being held for redevelopment, green‑space, or other purposes. Staff asked the board whether those clarifications should be decided now or after a committee review; the board instructed staff to take the list to the property management committee for a full walkthrough and return with recommendations.

Board members raised practical issues for disposition and a future sidewalk program: the assessor told staff that properties owned by a tax‑exempt entity are typically assessed on a commercial basis, which can make assessed values higher than market values for private parcels. Members asked staff to work with the assessor when determining sale prices. Board members also flagged triangular parcels at street intersections as potential traffic‑safety and sight‑line concerns and urged staff to consider deed restrictions or to retain such parcels as green space.

On a proposed sidewalk/side‑yard program, staff described three categories for disposition: very small parcels (suitable for donation to an adjacent neighbor or neighborhood association with a deed restriction and maintenance requirement); side‑yard parcels suitable for adjacent owners to acquire via a limited application or sealed bid among immediate neighbors; and buildable lots to be publicized with appraisals, formal notices and sealed‑bid or RFP processes that prioritize the agency’s mission (for example, referrals to affordable‑housing partners such as Habitat for Humanity or the housing authority).

Board members asked staff to provide a pricing approach (market sale, appraisal, or tiered valuation depending on category), a review of whether to require appraisals, and suggested advertising steps for buildable lots. Staff said they would prepare a draft program and pricing approach and present it to the property management committee at the next committee meeting.
