Charles Gathers told commissioners he had contacted city staff and county clerks but could not find recorded paperwork showing the county holds title to the road known as Field of Dreams Road. "Now I did come out here and talk to the clerk office and asked if the county had a deed to that Pacific Road and there's no deed nowhere according to what your record keeper told me," Gathers said.
Gathers said the city told him it holds an easement and that the county previously voted to change road names or to accept roads in public meetings. He asked commissioners to show "where you guys have some paper legal standing to that road." County staff said public meetings were held when the road was changed and that the county considers the road a county road; staff offered to provide the easement and related records.
The exchange highlighted confusion among residents about differences between an easement, a recorded conveyance of fee simple title and administrative actions such as renaming or accepting roads into the county maintenance system. County staff said they would provide the relevant recorded instruments to the resident and pointed to prior public meetings where road changes were approved.
No formal policy change or reversal of the road status occurred at the meeting; the matter was handled through public comment and staff follow-up to identify and provide recorded instruments or easements in county records.
