Commissioners discuss quitclaim deed transferring Danville-area water tower to city ownership
Summary
The board considered transferring a nonfunctional water tower and a small parcel to the city of Danville to remove maintenance obligations; commissioners asked staff to add a reverter clause so title would return if the city ceases to use the tower.
Board members reviewed a proposed quitclaim deed transferring a water tower and roughly 0.25 acre to the city of Danville, explaining the move would remove maintenance and operating costs from the county and give the city responsibility for the structure.
Commissioners raised the possibility of including a reverter clause so that if the city removed the tower or it ceased to serve the system, title to the parcel would revert to Madison County. County staff said they could add the language and return the revised deed to the board. A motion and second were made to approve the quitclaim deed with the suggested amendments, and commissioners moved forward with preparing the final paperwork.
The board characterized the proposal as straightforward and asked staff to work with the county attorney to finalize deed language and ensure financial and maintenance responsibilities transfer to the city upon closing.
