City staff presented a first reading of an ordinance to sell a five-foot strip of city-owned land at 2831 Hilda Avenue to the adjacent property owner at 2901 Hilda; aldermen said the item will return for a second reading at the next meeting.
Eric, a city staff member, said city property research found that the city owned a narrow five-foot strip adjacent to 2831 Hilda. He said the city has not maintained the strip and that the neighboring homeowners have been maintaining it. A homeowner identified as Mr. Marshall of 2901 Hilda expressed interest in purchasing the strip and a real estate purchase-and-sale agreement was prepared by the city attorney.
Alderman Lockmiller asked whether staff had contacted the other adjacent property owner as a courtesy; Eric said staff did and received no response. The board did a first reading of the bill and deferred final action to the next meeting for a second reading.
No public comment was recorded on the item during the meeting.
