It is also noted, that as of September 28, 1998, eleven additional properties are listed for sale or are ready to be listed for sale and these properties are listed on Appendix C. In addition within the Spadina Corridor there are eighteen properties for which an arbitration process was approved by Council on July 29, 1998. Appraisals are currently being prepared for these properties, after which sale agreements will be forwarded to the tenants. Arbitrations, if necessary are expected to occur in mid-November. The properties for which arbitration may be required are listed on Appendix D. Staff are actively pursuing the sale of surplus properties on the open market and there are a number of other properties where staff are negotiating the sale with abutting owners or existing tenants. Finally, staff continue to review potentially surplus properties to determine if they should be declared surplus.

Conclusion:

This report should be received for information.
