A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF HOMER, ALASKA, AMENDING THE CITY PROPERTY MANAGEMENT POLICY AND PROCEDURES MANUAL.

 

            WHEREAS, Homer City Code Section 18.08.160 authorizes and directs the City Council to adopt a Property Management Policy and Procedures Manual by resolution; and

 

            WHEREAS, The current edition of the Property Management Policy and Procedures Manual (the Manual) as amended was adopted via Resolution 04-25; and

 

            WHEREAS, The City Council wishes to lease certain Municipally owned lands in order to provide benefits to the public at large by expanding and diversifying the economy, growing the tax base, and creating jobs; and

 

            WHEREAS, The Council has reserved lots immediately adjacent to the Fish Dock for commercial fishing activities in order to retain, enhance, and promote the commercial fishing and fish processing industries; a historically significant sector of the Homer economy and one with potential for future growth; and

 

            WHEREAS, The commercial fishing industry generally is evolving and is in a transition period and therefore, it is difficult for investors to make large capital commitments in these uncertain financial times, and 

 

            WHEREAS, The City Lease Committee, based upon its recent experience with lease RFPs and lease negotiations for land at the fish dock, has made recommendations to the Council regarding amendments to the Manual; and

 

            WHEREAS, The proposed amendments are intended to make it easier and provide more certainty for investors, especially small investors, to make capital investments at the Fish Dock, while still protecting the interests of the City.

 

            NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Homer City Council reviewed the proposed amendments to the Property Management Policy and Procedures Manual submitted by the Lease Committee at its regular meeting on February 12, 2007.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Economic Development Advisory Commission and the Port and Harbor Advisory Commission shall be authorized to review the policy in its entirety and submit recommendations at a later date.

 

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council hereby adopts the proposed amendments attached hereto, incorporates them into this resolution by reference, and amends the Manual accordingly.

 

PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Homer City Council this 12th day of February, 2007.
