Council approves declaring 502 2nd Street surplus after public concerns about parking
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 14‑25 to declare the city‑owned parking lot at 502 2nd Street surplus, after residents and online commenters urged retaining the lot for downtown parking and potential EV charging stations.
The Isleton City Council adopted Resolution 14‑25 on Dec. 9, declaring the parcel at 502 2nd Street (APN 15700260020000), currently used for public parking near the school, as surplus land and directing staff to provide required Surplus Land Act notices.
Multiple speakers — including residents in the chamber and an online commenter, Michelle Burke — warned selling the lot could reduce downtown parking and complicate future plans for charging stations. One commenter asked whether a historic water tower on an adjacent parcel would be protected; staff clarified the tower sits on a separate parcel and is not part of the lot being considered. The council voted to declare the parcel surplus and instructed staff to complete the required notice to other public agencies before any sale.
Staff emphasized that declaring surplus is an initial step that does not obligate an immediate sale; if public agencies do not claim the property, a public disposition process would follow.
