Authorization to Sell City-owned Modular Building Located at Alfred F. Garcia Elementary School Campus (Ordinance S-47251)

Report
Summary
The Human Services Department has identified a modular building that is no longer needed and is appropriate for sale. The modular building is located on the Alfred F. Garcia Elementary School campus in the Murphy Elementary School District. The City purchased this building in 2003 to provide more Head Start classrooms in the Murphy Elementary School District. Head Start children occupied this building until December 2017 when environmental hazards were identified.
This school campus was permanently closed in January 2018, and the district is pursuing a sale of the campus. Staff has determined that it is cost prohibitive to move the modular building and recommends disposal to the entity purchasing the school campus. The modular building is considered personal property and will be conveyed via bill of sale.
Financial Impact
The Head Start Birth to Five Program received approval for the sale of this modular building on Dec. 15, 2020 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, allowing the proceeds, which are subject to federal interest, to be used to pay rent for classroom space in a different Head Start classroom in the Murphy Elementary School District. Revenue will be based on appraised value.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The Head Start Birth to Five Policy Council approved this item on Feb. 10, 2020.
