At the City Council work meeting held on May 11, 2023, the Council determined that this property is deemed surplus property.
e. Consider approval of a property lease agreement with Premier Car & Truck for city-owned property located at 116 West St. George Boulevard.
BACKGROUND and RECOMMENDATION: In December 2020 the City acquired the property at 116 W St. George Boulevard. Premier Car & Truck was the tenant at the time and their lease for used car sales and service transferred to the City. The terms of the multi-year lease expired on September 30, 2021 and from that point forward they have been operating on a month-to-month lease. Rather than renegotiating a new annual lease with the tenant, City leadership at the time kept the month-to-month lease in case they reached a deal with a developer to acquire and develop the property in accordance with the downtown plan. In late July, City staff received notice from the business that they were retiring at the end of August 2023. Staff recommends approval.

The report evaluates how the City used these federal funds during the past program year to carry out priorities identified in the City's adopted 2022 Annual Action Plan.
