(1) For the purposes of this subchapter, the Mayor may dispose of any real property owned by the District of Columbia by negotiation or public or private bid, on such terms and conditions as he deems necessary to accomplish the purposes of the subchapter with the consent of the Council, provided that prior to any such disposition there shall be a public hearing on the proposed terms and conditions after at least 30 days public notice. A proposed disposition shall be in accordance with § 10-801(c) -(e). Each proposed disposition shall be submitted to the Council for approval, in whole or in part, by resolution.
(2) The proposed resolution to provide for the disposition of real property pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection shall be submitted to the Council for a 90-day period of review, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, legal holidays, and days of Council recess. If the Council does not approve or disapprove the proposed disposition of the property, in whole or in part, by resolution within the 90-day period, the proposed resolution shall be deemed approved. Nothing in this section shall affect any requirements imposed upon the Mayor by subchapter I of Chapter 5 of Title 2 .
(A) Approval of the resolution pertaining to the disposition or offering document by the Council under paragraph (1) of this subsection shall expire one year after the effective date of the approval resolution unless an exclusive right agreement has been executed, subject to the provisions of this section. If the Mayor determines before the end of the one-year period that the property cannot be disposed of, or that an exclusive right agreement pertaining to the property cannot be executed, within the one-year period, the Mayor may submit to the Council, no later than 30 days, not including Saturdays, Sundays, legal holidays or days of Council recess, before the end of the one-year period, a resolution seeking additional time for the execution of an exclusive right agreement pertaining to the property. The resolution shall include a detailed status report on efforts made toward execution of an exclusive right agreement pertaining to the property and the reasons for the inability to execute an exclusive right agreement pertaining to the property within the one-year period. If the Council does not take action to approve or disapprove the resolution within 30 days of receipt of the resolution, not including Saturdays, Sundays, legal holidays, or days of Council recess, the resolution shall be deemed approved.
(i) If an exclusive right agreement is executed pertaining to property to be disposed of under this section, the agreement shall expire one year after the date of execution of the agreement unless:
(I) A land disposition agreement has been executed, subject to the provisions of this section; or
(II) The Mayor grants an extension of the expiration date, not to exceed 12 months. An extension shall be based on a determination that special factors exist justifying the extension. Factors considered shall include the need for zoning changes, historic preservation, street and alley closings, abatement of environmental hazards, and taking by eminent domain.
(ii) If the Mayor determines before the end of the two-year period that no land disposition agreement can be executed within the two-year period, the Mayor may submit to the Council, no later than 30 days, not including Saturdays, Sundays, legal holidays or days of Council recess, before the end of the two-year period a resolution seeking additional time for the disposition of the property. The resolution shall include a detailed status report on efforts made toward disposition of the property and the reasons for the inability to dispose of the property within the two-year period.

The report shall be submitted to the Council by the Mayor within 90 days of the transfer of the property to the Mayor by the Board.
