The purpose of this report is to seek authority to declare surplus the property at 30 Roehampton Avenue, save and except a strata area sufficient in area to accommodate 150 parking spaces, and to authorize the proposed manner of disposal, being a sale to the selected proponent from a Request for Proposals undertaken by the Toronto Parking Authority for the sale of the property.

The authority to declare property as surplus has been delegated to the Chief Corporate Officer, unless the local Councillor requires the matter to be determined by Council, as in this instance.
