[Adopted 11-1-2007 by L.L. No. 4-2007]
It is the intention of this article to establish a method for the sale,
lease or transfer of interest of City real property; it is not intended to
restrict the exercise of any power now vested in the City.
Sale, lease or transfers of City-owned real property (excepting parklands
or other real property which may not be alienated by the power of local law
and excepting telecommunications leases) may be made in any of the following
ways:
A. By private negotiated sale between the City and purchaser;
or
B. By public auction, with or without a minimum price; or
C. By resolution of the City Council establishing such criteria
as it deems in the best interest of the people of the City of Canandaigua
for the disposal of parcels or portions of real property owned by the City
of Canandaigua.
Any sale, lease or transfer of any interest of City real property, whether
by private sale, public auction or other means, must be approved by a three-fourths
vote of the membership of the City Council.
Upon a demand being filed as set forth in § 23, Subdivision
2, Paragraph b, of the General City Law, as amended, the question of whether
any proposed sale, lease or transfer of City real property shall be approved
shall be submitted to the voters as specified in said § 23, Subdivision
2, Paragraph b, of the General City Law, as amended.
Real property belonging to the City may be sold, transferred, leased
to or exchanged with any municipal corporation, school district or fire district
or the State of New York or the United States Government at or for such consideration
and upon such terms as the City Council may determine in its discretion.
