Council conveys segment of Campus Street to Board of Regents for UNI
Summary
The City of Cedar Falls authorized a quit claim deed conveying a portion of Campus Street right‑of‑way south of West 23rd Street to the Board of Regents, State of Iowa, following staff presentation that the conveyance cleans up right‑of‑way and easement issues related to UNI projects.
Council approved a quit claim deed Nov. 17 to convey a portion of Campus Street right‑of‑way south of West 23rd Street to the Board of Regents, State of Iowa, after staff said the transfer resolves right‑of‑way and easement issues related to a UNI project.
Dr. Ben Claypool, who presented the item to council, described the area as the south limits of Campus Street near the Commons Building of the University of Northern Iowa and said planning and zoning review had already occurred. "This is one of the things that both parties wanted to get cleaned up," Claypool said, summarizing the city's approach to right‑of‑way management and the earlier P&Z action.
There were no public comments on the conveyance. Council moved, seconded and passed a resolution authorizing the quit claim deed; the clerk reported all members voting aye and the motion carried.
The conveyance transfers municipal title over the specified roadway segment to the Board of Regents and completes a municipal administrative step; the transcript does not include implementation timing or any conditions attached to the deed.
