portions of Auto Center Drive as exempt surplus land pursuant to California
Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(e) and the Final Updated Surplus Land Act
Guidelines section 103(c)(6), and superseding Resolution 25-69 attached as
Attachment 1; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to submit the appropriate documentation to the
California Department of Housing and Community Development in connection with
Resolution No. 25-77; and
3. Authorize the City Manager to take all actions and execute agreements
necessary or appropriate to complete the vacation and transfer.
