Board approves tax‑sale parcel transfers to abutting owners
Summary
Legal staff asked the board to transfer two city‑owned parcels obtained via tax sale to sole abutting property owners for no consideration as allowed by state law; the board approved both resolutions (O5‑2026 and O6‑2026).
Legal staff presented two companion resolutions (O5‑2026 and O6‑2026) to transfer city‑owned parcels, acquired through the tax‑sale process, to the sole abutting property owners. Staff said the parcels have little independent utility, are functionally incorporated into adjacent driveways or front yards, and that state law permits offering tax‑sale property to abutting owners for no consideration.
Board members discussed the clean‑up nature of the transfers and noted staff had been approached by a developer about the area; staff framed the resolutions as administrative clean‑up tied to an earlier tax‑sale process. The board moved, seconded and approved both transfers.
The approvals transfer title (subject to standard administrative steps) and do not authorize additional city expenditures or development approvals.
