Resolution 22-80
ITEM 7.B.
Council Action: 3/14/2022
Description

Resolution to accept property donated by the Estate of Richard Dick, legally described as Lots 2, 3, 15 and 16, all in Block 15, Hughes and Doniphan’s Addition, subject to any and all easements and rights of way of record or otherwise, and all vacated alley between Lots 2, 3, and 16 and one-half (1/2) of the vacated alley adjacent to Lot 15 in Block 15, Hughes and Doniphan’s Addition.
Background/Discussion

The City has been contacted by the estate of Richard Dick regarding a parcel that is owned adjacent to our bike trail (see attached Location Map).  The estate would like to donate the parcel to the City. Parks and Recreation has stated that it would be a good addition and would allow for possible expansion of the trail system, as well increase the overall area of the trail that is accessible to Council Bluffs citizens. A title search has been requested in order to determine any liens or encumbrances on the parcel, and we would recommend that the Council accept this donation contingent on the title search showing no liens or encumbrances that would affect the ability of the estate to transfer clear title.

Recommendation

Acceptance is recommended.
