Effective - 28 Aug 1980

   

  100.410.   Property in a project, how disposed of. — Property in a project may be disposed of as follows:

  (1)  An authority may sell, lease, exchange or otherwise transfer real property, including land and improvements as provided for in the project, or any interest therein in a project area to any developer for industrial and commercial or related uses or for public use in accordance with the plan, subject to such covenants, conditions and restrictions as may be deemed to be in the public interest or to carry out the purposes of this law; provided that such sale, lease, exchange or other transfer, and any agreement relating thereto, may be made only after, or subject to, the approval of the plan by the governing body of the city.  Such real property shall be sold, leased or transferred at its fair value for uses in accordance with the plan notwithstanding such value may be less than the cost of such property to the authority.  In determining the fair value of real property for uses in accordance with the plan, an authority shall take into account and give consideration to the uses and purposes required by such plan; the restrictions upon, and the covenants, conditions and obligations assumed by, the developer of such property; the objectives of the plan for the prevention of the recurrence of blighted, insanitary or undeveloped industrial areas; and such other matters as the authority shall specify as being appropriate.  In fixing rentals and selling prices, an authority shall give consideration to appraisals of the property for such uses made by experts employed by the authority.

  (2)  An authority shall, by public notice published at least two times in a newspaper having a general circulation in its area of operation, prior to the consideration of any industrial development contract proposal, invite proposals from, and make available all pertinent information to, private industrial developers or any persons interested in undertaking the development of an area, or any part thereof, which the governing body has declared to be in need of industrial development.  Such notice shall identify the area and shall state that such further information as is available may be obtained at the office of the authority.  The authority shall consider all proposals and the financial and legal ability of the prospective developers to carry out their proposals and may negotiate with any industrial developer for proposals for the purchase or lease of any real property in the industrial clearance project area.  The authority may accept such industrial development contract proposal as it deems to be in the public interest and in furtherance of the purposes of this law; provided that the authority has, not less than thirty days prior thereto, notified the governing body in writing of its intention to accept such industrial development contract proposal.  Thereafter, the authority may execute such industrial development contract in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (1) of this section and deliver deeds, leases and other instruments and take all steps necessary to effectuate such industrial development contract.  In its discretion, the authority may, with regard to the foregoing provisions of this subdivision, dispose of real property in a project area to private developers for redevelopment under such reasonable competitive bidding procedures as it shall prescribe, subject to the provisions of subdivision (1).

  (3)  In carrying out a project, an authority may:

  (a)  Convey to the city such real property as, in accordance with the development plan, is to be laid out into streets, alleys and public ways, this power being additional to and not limiting any and all other powers of conveyance of property to cities expressed herein generally or otherwise;

  (b)  Grant servitudes, easements and rights-of-way for public utilities, sewers, streets and other similar facilities, in accordance with the plan; and

  (c)  Convey to the municipality, county or other appropriate public body such real property as, in accordance with the plan, is to be used for parks, schools, public buildings, facilities or other public purposes.

  (4)  An authority may temporarily operate and maintain real property in a project area pending the disposition of the property for industrial development, without regard to the provisions of subdivisions (1) and (2) above, for such uses and purposes as may be deemed desirable even though not in conformity with the plan.

  (2)  Receive assets from fiduciaries or other sources;

  (3)  Perform, compromise, or refuse performance of the decedent's contracts that continue as obligations of the estate, as he may determine under the circumstances.  In performing enforceable contracts by the decedent to convey or lease land, the independent personal representative, among other possible courses of action, may do either of the following:

  (a)  Execute and deliver a deed of conveyance for cash payment of all sums remaining due or for the purchaser's note for the sum remaining due secured by a mortgage or deed of trust on the land;

  (b)  Deliver a deed in escrow with directions that the proceeds, when paid in accordance with the escrow agreement, be paid to the successors of the decedent, as designated in the escrow agreement;

  (4)  If funds are not needed to meet debts and expenses currently payable and are not immediately distributable, deposit or invest liquid assets of the estate, including moneys received from the sale of other assets, in federally insured interest-bearing accounts, readily marketable secured loan arrangements, or other prudent investments which would be reasonable for use by trustees generally;

  (5)  Make ordinary repairs to buildings or other structures;

  (6)  Vote stocks or other securities in person or by general or limited proxy;

  (7)  Pay calls, assessments, and other sums chargeable or accruing against or on account of securities, unless barred by the provisions relating to claims;

  (8)  Hold a security in the name of a nominee, or in other form, without disclosure of the interest of the estate; but the independent personal representative is liable for any act of the nominee in connection with the security so held;

  (9)  Insure the assets of the estate against damage, loss, and liability, and himself against liability as to third persons;

  (10)  Effect a fair and reasonable compromise with any debtor or obligor, or extend, renew, or in any manner modify the terms of an obligation owing to the estate.  If the independent personal representative holds a mortgage, pledge, or other lien upon property of another person, he may, in lieu of foreclosure, accept a conveyance or transfer of encumbered assets from the owner thereof in satisfaction of the indebtedness secured by lien;

  (11)  Pay taxes, assessments, compensation of the independent personal representative, and other expenses incident to the administration of the estate;

  (12)  Sell or exercise stock subscription or conversion rights; consent, directly or through a committee or other agent, to the reorganization, consolidation, merger, dissolution, or liquidation of a corporation or other business enterprise;

  (13)  Allocate items of income or expense to either estate income or principal, as permitted or provided by law;

  (14)  Employ persons, including attorneys, auditors, investment advisors, or agents, to advise or assist the independent personal representative in the performance of his administrative duties; act without independent investigation upon their recommendations; and instead of acting personally, employ one or more agents to perform any act of administration, whether or not discretionary;

  (15)  Prosecute or defend claims, or proceedings in any jurisdiction for the protection of the estate and of the independent personal representative in the performance of his duties;

  (16)  Sell, mortgage, or lease any real or personal property of the estate or any interest therein for cash, credit, or for part cash and part credit, and with or without security for unpaid balances;

  (17)  Continue any unincorporated business or venture in which the decedent was engaged at the time of his death (a) in the same business form for a period of not more than four months from the date of appointment of a general independent personal representative, if continuation is a reasonable means of preserving the value of the business including good will; (b) in the same business form for any additional period of time that may be approved by order of the court in a proceeding to which the persons interested in the estate are parties; or (c) throughout the period of administration if the business is incorporated by the independent personal representative and if none of the probable distributees of the business who are competent adults object to its incorporation and retention in the estate;

  (18)  Incorporate any business or venture in which the decedent was engaged at the time of his death;

  (19)  Provide for exoneration of the independent personal representative from personal liability in any contract entered into on behalf of the estate;

  (20)  Satisfy and settle claims, and distribute the estate, as provided in this code.
