Council authorizes conditional $1 purchase of 155 Airborne Avenue pending title search
Summary
The council approved a motion authorizing the mayor to purchase 155 Airborne Avenue for $1, subject to a satisfactory title search, to allow the city to clean up the property; the vote was by voice and included the caveat of a title check by staff.
The Jenkins City Council on Jan. 6 voted to authorize the mayor to purchase 155 Airborne Avenue for $1, contingent on a satisfactory title search.
Mayor (speaker 1) described prior contact with the property owner, noted the property’s condition and said a quick‑claim deed for $1 would put the parcel under city control for cleanup or transfer. The mayor said the house may or may not be structurally sound but putting the property under city control would allow cleanup rather than it remaining abandoned.
Clerk (speaker 2) and another council member urged that the purchase be subject to a title search; speaker 2 said the title search was not yet finished. Mayor (speaker 1) moved the authorization subject to the satisfactory title search; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The transcript records the authorization and the title‑search caveat. The council did not read a purchase agreement or closing schedule into the record; those details are to be handled administratively.
