Council adopts ordinances vacating portion of Cedar Avenue and a public alley
Summary
The council voted to adopt two ordinances vacating a segment of Cedar Avenue and a 20-foot public alley in Block 58; a council member requested corrections to recital hearing dates before votes were recorded.
The Elpen City Council on Monday adopted two ordinances to vacate public right-of-way: a 60-foot-wide by 220-foot-long portion of Cedar Avenue between 6th and 7th streets and a 20-foot-wide by 200-foot-long public alley within Block 58 bounded by Cedar Avenue, Douglas Avenue, 6th Street and 7th Street.
The meeting opened with the chair calling for second readings of both ordinances. A council member flagged an incorrect recital date that read “January 9,” saying the full council was not in office until Jan. 16. Staff said the recitals would be corrected before final recordation.
After that clarification, a council member moved to adopt Ordinance No. 25-001 (vacating the Cedar Avenue segment); the motion was seconded and the council conducted a roll-call vote. The clerk read councilors who answered “aye” and the motion passed. The council then moved, seconded and approved Ordinance No. 25-002 vacating the alley, also by roll-call vote.
Both ordinances were enacted to take effect immediately upon execution and recordation, with staff directed to update the recital dates to reflect the actual hearing date. The council did not record any roll-call 'no' votes in the transcript.
The council’s action completes the legislative step to vacate the identified public rights-of-way; staff will record the ordinances with corrected recitals and proceed with related administrative steps.
