TO: City Council
FROM: City Librarian
SALE OF FORMER CROCKER BRANCH LIBRARY
RECOMMENDATION:
The Library Board and City Librarian recommend that Council authorize the City
Manager to sign all documents necessary to complete the sale of the former Crocker
Branch Library ( 2555 N. Via Miraleste) to "Udo Kierspe" in the amount of $300,000.00,
and to authorize Buyer to open escrow.
SUMMARY:
This recommendation, if approved would transfer title of the former Crocker Branch
Library from the City, to "Udo Kierspe" for the stated purpose of converting it into a
residence. The parcel would be returned to the property tax rolls for the first time.
BACKGROUND:
In 1978 the Library Board acted to close two branch libraries (Melba Bennett and Francis
F. Crocker) as a result of the elimination of the library property tax, which had been in
place since 1939. From 1978 through 2001 the Library Board leased the Crocker
Branch, first to the Stroke Activity Center and then to Ed-U-Care, a private childcare
center. The Library Board had initially hoped (in 1978) to eventually reopen the Crocker
facility as a branch library, but after twenty-three years it became apparent that sufficient
operational revenues would not be available and the property should be sold.
The property became the first city-owned asset to be auctioned via the EBAY web site
and it received sixteen total bids from two local parties. Only the high bidder completed
the required post-auction forms. However, the sale was not completed.
The property was advertised again, and, at the suggestion of the City Attorney, sealed
bids were submitted, and opened by the Library Board at a special session on April 17,
2002.
The buyer has submitted a $30,000.00 deposit to be refunded if the zoning change from
"O " to "R" does not get approval from the Planning Commission. This is a cash offer and
the Buyer requires no additional contingencies.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The sale of this property should result in very minor change to the City's General Fund.
By returning to the property tax rolls, the City would receive approximately $600 per year
in new revenues. Through the 1979 action of the City Council, the net proceeds from the
sale would be placed in the Library Trust Fund for future library development
