Council approves sale of small Parnell Park parcel to adjacent owner
Summary
Council approved ordinance 2026-21 to sell approximately 0.02 acres of Parnell Park to the owner of 488 Acriman Place after staff said the parcel is unused; no public speakers opposed the sale during the hearing.
The Xenia City Council voted to authorize the sale of a small portion of Parnell Park to the adjoining property owner at 488 Acriman Place. City staff told the council the roughly 0.02-acre parcel appears unused and may have been intended historically as an entryway to the park, though no evidence of a sidewalk or driveway exists.
The public hearing drew no speakers, and Councilwoman Mscavage moved to pass ordinance 2026-21; the mayor seconded. A roll-call vote recorded affirmative responses from Vice President James Crawford; Councilwoman Sice; Councilman Mscavage; Councilwoman Huffman; Councilman Rubio; Mayor Reynolds; and President Smith. The motion carried.
City staff said the property management committee endorsed the concept of offering the parcel for sale. The ordinance was introduced previously and considered for passage this evening; the sale will proceed according to the ordinance terms once administrative steps and any required conveyances are completed.
