MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 10, 2009
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Ron Moorse, City Administrator
SUBJECT: TCAAP Update
Dual-Track TCAAP Clean-up and Reuse Process
While the City is moving forward with a process to obtain funding and special legislation to
enable the bulk of the TCAAP property to be cleaned up and reused for parks and open space,
the GSA is moving forward to sell the property through a public sale process. These two
processes are moving forward simultaneously.
The City is contacting potential partners for the parks and open space use; however, the City
must also be prepared to impact the GSA's public sale process to help ensure that the City's
needs are reflected in that process. It is the City's position that the public sale must include a
< mechanism to ensure that the buyer completes the clean-up of the property in a timely manner.
Furthermore, the public sale process must also provide information to the potential bidders
regarding the City's expectations for the reuse of the property and limitations on the property,
such as the limited road access.
Con2:ressional Letters
Letters have been sent to the City's Congressional delegation updating them regarding the
TCAAP property.
