A. For the purposes of this section, "disposition" or "dispose" means the transfer of ownership from the City to any other party or entity by any method.
B. No real property owned by the City may be disposed of unless it has first been declared to be surplus in accordance with the provisions of this section.
C. Real property may be declared surplus only by the City Council, which must first find that it is in the public interest that the real property be disposed of as surplus property.

1. Whether the City has, or anticipates that it will have, no practical, economical, efficient or appropriate use for the real property currently or in the reasonably foreseeable future.
2. Whether the purpose served by the real property can be better accomplished by other alternatives or other real property.
3. Whether the purpose served by the property or its use either no longer exists or has significantly changed because of the needs and demands of the City or as may be determined by a change of policy evidenced by an ordinance or resolution of the City Council.
