Change law to let city council negotiate development contracts for city-owned land
In Plain English
The city currently lacks clear authority to negotiate development deals for properties it owns. This law change gives the city council specific power to competitively select developers for major projects on city land. If approved, the city can move forward with large-scale development partnerships without legal uncertainty.
