STAFF REPORT
On March 18 , the Mayor and Council authorized staff to solicit bids
for the sale of Pioneer Memorial Cemetery. On May 6, the only bid
received was rejected due to the fact that the bid was not made in
accordance with the bid specifications.
The specifications were revised to allow the City flexibility in
negotiating the terms of the cemetery sale. Bids were again
solicited, and one bid has been received.
The Loewen Group International, Inc. , has bid $926, 513 for the
property, which is the minimum acceptable bid. Loewen has also
proposed terms for the purchase (see attached bid form) . Under
these terms, the City would receive:
- One payment of $555, 908 prior to close of escrow;
- $25, 000 per year on the first and second anniversaries of
close of escrow;
- $50, 000 per year on the third and fourth anniversaries of
close of escrow; and
- Final payment of $220, 605 on the fifth anniversary of close of
escrow.
It is recommended that this bid be accepted, and that staff be
directed to negotiate a sales agreement that will be brought back
to the Mayor and Council for final approval. According to the bid
specifications, the sale is contingent upon the execution of a
mutually acceptable sales agreement. Therefore, the sale will not
be final until such an agreement is executed by both the City and
the Loewen Group.
In order for the General Fund to realize the full $926, 513 in
revenue during FY 1996-97 , it is also recommended that balance of
the payments ($370, 605) be loaned to the General Fund by the Trust
and Agency Fund (City Hall Sinking Fund) , and that the subsequent
payments received from the Loewen Group be then deposited to the
Trust and Agency Fund.
