Governmental Use Properties to the City, and the execution and delivery of a grant deed to
evidence such conveyance, subject to the Oversight Board's adoption of a resolution
directing and approving the conveyance of the Governmental Use Properties and the
DOF's approval or deemed approval of such Oversight Board resolution.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2014-_ to: (i) accept the
conveyance of the Governmental Use Properties by the Successor Agency, and (ii)
authorize the Mayor (or, in the Mayor's absence, the Mayor Pro Tern) to execute a
certificate of acceptance with respect to the grant deed and cause the grant deed and
certificate of acceptance to be recorded, subject to the Oversight Board's adoption of a
resolution directing and approving the conveyance of the Governmental Use Properties to
