Utility board approves transfer of three small parcels to Tipton City
Loading...
Summary
The Tipton Utility Service Board approved Resolution 2026-02 to transfer three small alleyway parcels near the Public Safety Building to Tipton City by quick claim deed after the city utility attorney identified the parcels during tax-season review.
The Tipton Utility Service Board voted April 20 to approve Resolution 2026-02, transferring three small parcels—described as alleyways near the Public Safety Building—that were still titled in the utility's name to Tipton City by quick claim deed. The board approved the resolution by voice vote after the general manager explained the parcels were uncovered during a property-tax review.
The general manager told the board that city utility attorney Matt Quigley prepared the resolution and that the city council will subsequently act on the transfer. Board members said transferring the parcels to the city made sense because the land fits with the city's landscaping and public-safety campus.
Board Chair moved to approve the resolution; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The resolution was identified in the meeting record as "Resolution 2026-02, property transfer." The board did not record individual vote tallies in the transcript.
The board did not discuss any financial proceeds or outstanding liens attached to the parcels during the recorded discussion. The next procedural step described by the general manager is transmittal to the city council for its action.
