AGREEMENT FOR TAXING ENTITY COMPENSATION FOR DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY #4 PURSUANT TO THE CITY OF GRAND TERRACE'S LONG RANGE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN Deputy City Attorney Bettenhausen provided a summary of this item. Mayor McNaboe asked if the amount of $800,000 was what the City would receive for these properties. Attorney Bettenhausen answered the amount was an approximate amount. Mayor McNaboe asked did the City do what was necessary to get a fair market value on these properties. City Manager Duffey stated that a Broker of Value (BOV) was completed and the BOV is approximately $800,000. He said this meets the State's requirement, but if the Council would like an additional appraisal it could be done. Mayor McNaboe asked if the BOV is just a benchmark used for the taxing agencies. City Manager Duffey confirmed that the BOV is a benchmark estimated value. The distribution percentages will be used to fairly distribute proceeds. But the 800,000 is an estimate base on the BOV. Mayor Pro Tern Robles stated that the City with the Redevelopment Agency paid four million dollars for this properties and the Broker of Value now stated they were worth $800,000. She further stated that this amount barely recuperated the tax value of the properties and that the comparables were fairly recent. Mayor Pro Tern Robles asked if the City would be getting an appraisal before the properties were put on the market. City Manager Duffey stated that if the Council would like an appraisal one would be done but the Broker of Value report met the State's requirements. Mayor Pro Tern Robles did not want the City to be cut short. Attorney Bettenhausen reminded .the Council that there was a Closed Session item on the agenda to discuss the price and terms of the property. This item was to set the percentage for the taxing agencies with no specific price only an approximate. Council Member Wilson asked if the Department of Finance approved the Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (RPTTF) distribution instead of the individual amounts. He was concerned with the irregular RPTTF disbursements. City Manager Duffey answered no because the proceeds of the sale of the property go to the County not the RPTTF fund.
