SCHEDULED ITEMS
RESOLUTION APPROVING AND ADOPTING A LONG-RANGE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PLAN PREPARED
PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE 34191.5 FOR 229 S AZUSA AVENUE (8614-014-
918,819, & 820).
Senior Accountant Henry Quintero presented the item stating that the City is trying to close escrow on 229 S.
Azusa Avenue to allow for the construction of the new Hilton Home 2 Suites to proceed with construction.
This property is currently owned by the Successor Agency, and as such needs to be listed in the Long -Range
Property Management Plan (LMPRP). In order to expedite the closing of the escrow, City staff and the City's
lobbyist met with the Department of Finance (DOF) staff to discuss alternatives to allow this property to move
forward before the completion of the final LRPMP. The DOF instructed the City to submit the property
separately, apart from the final LRPMP.
He responded to a question posed by Boardmember Dickerson stating that once the property is included in the
LRPMP the DOF can move forward and allow the sale of such property.
Boardmember Dickerson offered a Resolution entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE OVERSIGHT BOARD TO THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF AZUSA, APPROVING AND ADOPTING A LONG-

Senior Accountant Henry Quintero presented the item stating that it is essentially the same language as the
previous item except this item is for the sale of the property located at 237 S. Azusa Ave. The reason that this
item is being presented separately is because it is a different address and has a different parcel number.
