City will maintain plowing on Stockholm Avenue while right-of-way is clarified
Summary
Public works reported that Stockholm Avenue is listed as a city street but not fully described in records; the council will pull a public hearing and pursue a memorandum of understanding while right-of-way issues are resolved, and the city will maintain the road for plowing.
Public works described a long-running uncertainty about the legal description and public right-of-way for Stockholm Avenue and said the city will provide maintenance, including plowing, while the right-of-way process is completed.
"The road is on the official list of streets. It's not described in its entirety and there's a reference to Stockholm Road, via Google Earth," the public works commissioner said, noting that properties along the road appear to cross the street and that a formal right-of-way was not clearly established.
The commissioner said the city will pull the previously scheduled public hearing and instead proceed with a memorandum of understanding while staff and the attorney's office work through the right-of-way process. He noted the original dedication occurred in 1941, making record clarity an issue.
The transcript records that the council will maintain the road for plowing while the right-of-way and property boundary issues are resolved; no final legal determination was recorded at this meeting.
