The City Government. in this manner could accept or reDect the best offer.
In regard to pr oper~ies, perhaps there may be a:>ne unused land, lot.s, and/ or

Several offers to purchase city-owned Properties�.come to the at�en�ion of the
City Manager.
89,nca the G4i:mission is -�he final authority in disposing af such pro�rties
and if it already is nat a written policy, i� is the recommendai:ion Qf the City
Manager that all city properties available for sale be advertised in order
th.at interested instrumentalities have the equal oppoxtunity to bid thereon.
The Gity Govarnment in this manner could accept or rt�.ject; the best offer.
In regard to properi:ies, perhaps there may be �me unused land, lots, and� qr
buz.ldinas at this time, but it is further recommended that the Comraission not
seli or entertain the sale of any properties until a city plan is adopted. The
reason for this request is to consider all unused city-owned properties for best
land use in the future �a�her than for its current vaivation. Such policy� could
