Summary
For the purposes of relieving Committee and Council Agendas of real estate transactions that are routine in nature and/or relatively minor in financial terms, and of avoiding delay in their approval and implementation, staff is recommending that Council make some minor technical amendments to the delegation of authority in certain real estate matters previously approved by Council in May 2010 (the "Real Estate Delegation").
