IODs represent a portion of land /real property that is dedicated by a property owner to the City for a public purpose (such as right -of -way enhancement, sidewalk installation, or planting of street trees). IODs are reviewed by the Public Works Department and subsequently presented to the City Council for consideration. After completion of improvement work (e.g. installation of sidewalk, trees), the City can formally accept the offer of real property to be used for public purposes. Approval of the attached resolution will allow the City Manager or designee to accept IODs on behalf of the City. Such delegation will streamline efforts for processing these items. Staff Recommendation It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2012 -02, authorizing the City Manager, or designee, at such time as it is appropriate to accept and cause to have the acceptance of irrevocable offers of dedication be recorded by the Los Angeles County Recorder. ANALYSIS An Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (IOD) is typically completed as part of the condition of approval process for new development or subdivisions. IODs are prepared by the developer /proposer and reviewed by the Public Works Department. Subsequently, the IOD is presented to the City Council for review and approval. The City Council then takes action to approve a resolution authorizing the offer to be recorded by the Los Angeles County Recorder. After completing the required improvements (as set forth in the conditions of approval), a formal "acceptance' of the irrevocable offer of dedication is brought back to the City Council. Since this is a routine administrative process, it is recommended that this duty be delegated to the City Manager, or designee. Such action is intended to streamline1e APPROVED FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA: ITEM NO. �1 City Council Meeting February, 14 2012 Paoe 2 of 2 City processes.
