Executive Summary:
Cumberland County has requested that the City of Fayetteville deed to them their interest in a parcel of land located off of Hay Street now being utilized by Highsmith Rainey Hospital as a portion of their parking lot. The County owns four of the other parcels that make up the parking lot and are conveying those parcels to Cape Fear Valley Hospital System. At the March 19, 2018 Board of Commissioners meeting, the County approved the resolution to request that the City deed the parcel owned by them to the County so that it may be included in the transfer.
Background:
Cumberland County has requested that the City of Fayetteville convey a parcel to them so that they may transfer the property to Cape Fear Valley Hospital System. The City received the property in 1967 and it is currently a small portion of the parking lot utilized by Highsmith Rainey Hospital. The parking lot in question consists of 6 parcels. Cape Fear Valley Hospital System owns one of the parcels which the County conveyed in a 2006 transfer. Four of the parcels are currently in the name of the County and they intend on transferring these to Cape Fear Valley Hospital System. One parcel is in City ownership. The County would like for the City to convey this parcel to them so that they can include it in the transfer to the Hospital system. This transaction is allowed by North Carolina General Statute and would then have the entire Highsmith Rainey parking lot in one ownership. On March 19, 2018 at the County Commissioners meeting the County approved the resolution requesting that the City transfer the property.
Issues/Analysis:
No known issues.
Budget Impact:
There is no significant impact to the budget; however this will enable the property to be added back to the tax roll.
Options:

Recommended Action:
Direct staff on how Council would like to proceed with the County’s request to deed the City property to the County for transfer to Cape Fear Valley Hospital System.
