Property owner asks to buy land for road connection; commission asks for documents and takes no action
Summary
A Tioga property owner requested transfer of roughly 0.68 acres to complete a road connection off South Dakota Street. The commission requested documentation and took no action, deferring to the city attorney for a records and title review.
Property owner Brian Colbert asked the Tioga City Commission on June 2 for an agreement to purchase about 0.68 acres to complete a road connecting South Dakota Street to adjacent city property. Colbert said he had been told previously he could purchase that land; Jayme and Lindsey Odegaard said they were shown plats identifying the area as city property and that no sale had occurred.
Attorney Pendlay asked the petitioner to provide supporting documentation and for the city to review the materials provided to homeowners at the time of purchase. The commission did not vote to sell or transfer property and took no formal action at the meeting.
The request centers on private access and the city’s right‑of‑way. Commissioners and the city attorney will review title records and previous documentation before any further consideration; no dates for follow‑up were specified in the minutes.
Because this matter involves property rights and potential title issues, the commission limited immediate action pending a records review.
