Council approves conditional sale of small parcel adjoining community center; final price contingent on survey and closing costs
Summary
Council declared a right‑of‑way sliver surplus and authorized sale pending confirmation of final acreage and closing costs; staff will record deed and return final sale figures before closing.
Council considered a request May 5 to sell a narrow sliver of property adjoining the community center at 1832 Court South. Staff said a completed survey shows a narrow strip next to the community center building that the current homeowner seeks to purchase to clear title.
Council discussed the exact price and survey costs during the meeting. Staff recommended a process to declare the parcel surplus and approve a sale conditioned on a finalized survey and reimbursement of costs; councilors amended the motion to include recording and to permit staff to finalize the sale amount (the packet included an estimate shown during the meeting but council asked staff to confirm the final assessed value plus closing and survey costs before sale). The motion passed with a majority.
Councilors emphasized the need to declare the parcel surplus before sale and asked staff to ensure the purchaser understands costs for survey and title work. The sale will proceed only after staff returns the final calculated sale amount and records required deeds.
