Dalton council accepts 1.47-acre donated tract for preservation via Resolution 25-2
Summary
Council unanimously moved to accept a 1.47-acre tract near Harris Street and 3rd Avenue offered by OP 2115 LLC via warranty deed; staff recommended preserving the parcel as a natural area to avoid runoff problems.
The Dalton City Mayor and Council approved Resolution 25-2 Dec. 1 to accept the donation of a 1.47-acre tract (Tax Parcel 12-239-16-012) near Harris Street and 3rd Avenue from OP 2115 LLC, which the record identifies as being offered through its managing member, Mister Octavio Perez.
City Attorney (speaker 2) told the council that state law (36-37-2) authorizes the mayor and council to accept donations of real property. Staff presented aerial imagery to show the tract’s long, somewhat steep terrain and recommended preserving the site as a natural area to prevent potential runoff problems if it were developed. The resolution, which directs acceptance via warranty deed, was presented to the council; a council member moved to accept the donation, the motion was seconded and the council voted to approve it. The record states that deeds have already been signed and coordinated through the city attorney’s office.
The council’s approval establishes municipal ownership subject to standard deed and recording procedures. The transcript contains two spellings of the name of the individual thanked by a coach earlier in the meeting (Octavia Perez) and the person identified as the managing member for OP 2115 LLC (Octavio Perez); the record does not clarify whether these are distinct individuals or a transcription inconsistency.
