X-C-01
Background Information:
The Hastings Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) acquired the property in
1998. In 2008, the property was conveyed from the HRA to the City. The City entered
into a lease agreement with the ISD 200 to provide senior center and classroom space.
The lease expired around two years ago. Since ISD 200 vacated the building, HEDRA
has undertaken maintenance expenses. HEDRA is considering entering into a lease with
the Hastings Prescott Arts Council (HPAC) to use the space.
The parcel containing the north half of the building is owned by the City outright. The
parcels containing the parking lot are jointly owned by the City and Patrick and Vivian
Walker, owner of the south half of the building.
Land Ownership Precedent
Property held for a long term or permanent purpose is generally held by the City.
Property identified for redevelopment have been held by HEDRA. HEDRA has
identified the property for redevelopment in the future. Transfer of the property to
HEDRA would be consistent with ownership precendent.
