Redevelopment commission approves land swap steps, quitclaim deed and deed of dedication with Hobart Owner, LLC
Summary
The commission approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Hobart Sanitary District, a quitclaim deed to Hobart Owner, LLC and acceptance of a deed of dedication as part of a coordinated land‑swap; the measures passed 3‑0 and staff noted outstanding title documentation remains under review.
The City of Hobart Redevelopment Commission unanimously approved a package of actions on Jan. 12 to complete parts of a land‑swap with Hobart Owner, LLC. The commission approved Resolution No. 2026‑02, which authorizes an intergovernmental agreement between the Hobart Sanitary District and the Redevelopment Commission, and separately approved a quitclaim deed transferring property to Hobart Owner, LLC and the acceptance of a deed of dedication from the company. All votes were recorded as all ayes (3‑0).
Attorney Dave Westland explained that the property had previously been transferred from the Redevelopment Commission to the Hobart Sanitary District and that the intergovernmental agreement implements a related land swap involving Hobart Owner, LLC. Redevelopment Commission attorney Ryan Cook recommended approval of the quitclaim deed. Commissioners approved the quitclaim deed (motion by Ms. Kelly Clemens, seconded by President Matthew Claussen) and accepted the deed of dedication (motion by Mr. Mark Kara, seconded by Ms. Clemens).
Westland noted outstanding title issues related to trust documentation and said the title company is working with the seller to resolve discrepancies prior to issuing a title policy. The deed acceptance was presented as the final component of the land‑swap transaction in the meeting record.
