Subject: Public Hearing for Sale of City -Owned Property at 1559 Washington St
Date: May 22, 2023
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request that City Council hold a Public Hearing
for the purpose of disposing of City -owned real property located at 1559 Washington
Street.
BACKGROUND
The property at 1559 Washington Street was acquired by the City using the petition for
title. Housing staff evaluated the building and determined that the cost for the City's
Housing Rehabilitation program to renovate the property and sell it for owner occupancy
exceeded the program capacity. Upon further review, staff determined that sale and
private rehabilitation would result in the most efficient restoration of the property.
A request for proposal was published on April 7, 2023, which resulted in one proposal
being submitted. The proposal was scored based on criteria established by staff with a
focus on supporting the City Council's established goals and priorities. The lone
proposal outlined a complete renovation of the property. Upon completion, the property
will be sold as a single-family dwelling.
Staff supports proceeding with the proposal submitted by RC Restorations LLC which
outlines a complete renovation of the property. RC Restorations LLC will commence
work as soon as they receive title to the property and anticipates completion in 3-5
months.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
I respectfully request the City Council hold a public hearing and approve the purchase
agreement for 1559 Washington Street as presented.
