Joint Meeting: Glendale City Council and Successor Agency
Community Development, re: Adoption of Resolutions making findings in support of the proposed transfer of former Glendale Redevelopment Agency owned property to the City of Glendale for “government use” per California Health & Safety Code section 34181, et seq.

The property is referred to herein as the “ROW/Wash Parcels”) On July 20, 2021, staff presented a report regarding this property transfer from the Successor Agency to the City of Glendale for the appraised value of $33,000. At that time, City Council appropriated funding from the unassigned General Fund Balance; however, the actual resolutions were inadvertently left out of the official packet. As such, staff returned for the sole purpose of adding the resolutions to the record. No modified or additional actions were taken on this item. View report to Council
