RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discuss prospect of disabling City from engaging in Eminent
Domain for purpose of sale to a private party and provide direction
to Staff as appropriate.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This item was placed on the agenda at the Request of Mayor
Beckman and Councilwoman Mounce. As Council is aware, the
U.S. Supreme Court recently approved the use of eminent domain
to acquire property that was not blighted with the intent of turning the property over to a private party to
stimulate redevelopment of the surrounding area in the Kilo case. The federal and state legislatures are
currently considering legislation to reverse the decision. A number of cities are considering similar
ordinances.
FISCAL IMPACT: None.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not Applicable.
