City notifies Fisherman’s Village of intent to record reverter deed; says it remains open to talks
Summary
City staff said a letter was sent informing Fisherman’s Village the city intends to record a reverter (quitclaim) deed around July 16 but that staff remains willing to meet to discuss a resolution; the update came during a legal-status report at a pre-agenda meeting.
PUNTA GORDA, Fla. — City staff told the Punta Gorda City Council at a pre-agenda meeting that the city sent a letter to Fisherman’s Village indicating the city’s intent to record a reverter deed with the Charlotte County Clerk of Court around July 16, while remaining open to negotiations.
According to the staff update, the letter — described as about one page and including three short paragraphs — stated the city’s intent to file the reverter deed but also said staff would meet with Fisherman’s Village representatives if they wished to discuss alternatives. Staff said Fisherman’s Village had sent its own letter to the city on June 9 asking to continue discussions; the city’s letter reiterates staff’s willingness to “sit down” and hear Fisherman’s Village proposals while also stating the city’s intent to proceed.
The reverter-notice timeline and any related legal steps were presented as part of a broader legal update that also covered other matters. City staff did not announce any formal action at the pre-agenda meeting; the matter will proceed through the legal and recording process unless an alternative agreement is reached.
