BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEM ENT
Item No. 6.1.
For Meeting of: May 21, 2019
ITEM TITLE: Resolution acknowledging prior declaration that City -owned
property located at 2312 W. Nob Hill Boulevard is surplus to the
uses and needs of the City, authorizing disposition and approving
Agreement of Purchase and Sale for said property to Heyden
Properties LLC
SUBMITTED BY: Jeff Cutter, City Attorney
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
In February 2014 the City of Yakima purchased the subject property (2312 West Nob Hill
Boulevard), along with three other properties, from the Tiger Oil Corporation for the public
purpose of environmental remediation, site clean-up and returning the properties to productive
commercial use. Following completion of necessary cleanup, the City's intention has been to
return the properties to the private sector for beneficial economic development. The City has
worked with the Washington State Department of Ecology to complete a significant cleanup on
the 2312 West Nob Hill Blvd. site. The property has not yet been determined subject to issuance
of a "No Further Action" letter from the Department of Ecology, but has been deemed amenable
to construction in accordance with the environmental covenants previously granted to the
Department of Ecology by the City on December 11, 2015.
The subject property was previously determined by the City Council to be surplus to the uses and
needs of the City of Yakima by Resolution R-2015-089 and is therefore subject to disposition.
By instrument received May 6, 2019, the City of Yakima has received from Heyden Properties
LLC an "Agreement Of Purchase And Sale" ("Purchase and Sale Agreement"), whereby the
buyer proposes to purchase the subject property for $325,000. This amount is $135,000 less
than the 2017 appraised value of the property, said appraisal being based upon an assumption
that the property is clean and free of any environmental restrictions, which it is not. However, the
buyer has also agreed to be responsible for any and all future well sampling and/or required
remediation action on the property from the time of sale forward. The City believes that under
these terms the current offer represents a fair value for the property given its current
environmental status.
The attached Resolution acknowledges the prior declaration of Council that the property is
surplus to the uses and needs of the City of Yakima and may be disposed of and further
approves the Agreement Of Purchase And Sale And Escrow Instructions.
