Commission moves to accept quit-claim deed for Lot 18 if executed by July 26
Summary
Staff reported the owner of the old Burphead building offered to sign a quit-claim deed to the city with no monetary compensation; commissioners discussed structural and title issues and directed staff to accept the deed if signed by July 26 (30-day process referenced).
Staff updated the commission on Lot 18, Block 25 (the old Burphead building) and said the property owner indicated willingness to execute a quit-claim deed transferring the property to the city with no payment. Commissioners discussed the condition of the foundation, possible impacts on adjacent buildings, the need for a structural engineer and title questions.
A commissioner moved that the city accept the quit-claim deed by July 26 if executed; as one commissioner stated, "Make a motion to accept the quick claim deed by the 07/26/2026." Staff said an engineer would inspect the foundation after possession and that title work would be completed by the city attorney before demolition or grant applications.
