Summary

After staff review and a public hearing, the council approved a resolution vacating and conveying a 0.4-acre alley section to JBS by quitclaim deed while retaining easements for public and private utilities.

City staff presented a public hearing and resolution to vacate and convey approximately 0.4 acres of a dead-end alley to JBS, explaining that staff had contacted adjoining property owners and utility providers and would preserve easements and access rights. Deb Millizer, housing and community development director, said Marshalltown Water Works reported no facilities within the proposed area and staff recommended approval at $250 under the city surplus property policy.

No public opposition emerged in the hearing. Council moved to approve the conveyance; a roll-call vote recorded the motion’s passage. The resolution preserves utility easements and requires a quitclaim deed to convey the property to JBS.
