of a property.

Danny Walz updated the Board on the policy disposition.
Kort Utley reviewed criteria a property must meet before it was disposed of,additional
language in the policy stating “if the property being disposed of is a Tier 1 property the
price shall be at least 90%of the fair market value as outlined in the strategic plan.”
Director Mano asked if the Utah Theater was a Tier 1 property and what qualifications
determined its status as a Tier 1.Mr Utley confirmed it was a Tier 1 and was specifically
mentioned in City plans and goals.
Board and RDA Staff discussed the historical precedent of the Tier 1/90%threshold.It
was stated that the 90%was tied as precedent in the current policy and in the
disposition price protocol when a property was sold.It was based in the notion that during
the selling process there needed to be a provided space with the price for adjustment if
needed.Further discussion included the process to notify the public of the sale price of a
City property,how often the policy was reviewed,how the changes in the policy made the
disposition policy more transparent and opened the public comment period sooner rather
than later in the process.
