Council authorizes deed acceptance dedicating Whittlesey Way right‑of‑way
Summary
Liberty Hill authorized the city manager to execute general warranty deeds dedicating property from North Loop 289 LTD as public right‑of‑way for Whittlesey Way (referred to as Whittlesey/Whittlesey Way in the packet).
The Liberty Hill City Council on May 13 approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute general warranty deeds transferring real property from North Loop 289 Ltd. to the city as public right‑of‑way for Whittlesey Way. Staff said the action follows an earlier acceptance of infrastructure and completes a separate deed transfer step.
Mackenzie, the project presenter, told the council this item followed the April 9 council action that accepted roadway infrastructure; the deed transfer is a separate, ministerial step to record ownership. A council member asked whether the mayor or city manager signs such deeds; staff explained the normal signature chain is mayor, mayor pro tem, then the city manager unless council specifically authorizes otherwise.
Councilwoman Diane Williams moved to authorize the city manager to execute the general warranty deeds and to accept the resulting dedications; the motion was seconded and approved. Staff described the item as a conveyance of private property to the public right‑of‑way and said no additional action was necessary beyond the deed execution.
