Item No. 98-167
Date April 13. 1998
Item/Subject: Resolve, Ratifying Acceptance of Quitclaim Deed from
Marvel B. Shannon -- Land on Kittredge Road (Map R67, Lot 6)
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
In December 1997 the Finance Committee directed City staff to
pursue the possibility of acquiring the so-called Shannon lot which
abuts the City Forest. Marvel Shannon held a 2/3 interest in the
property, with the remaining 1/3 interest held by Ralph Shannon.
After negotiation, in late February 1998, the City and Mrs. Shannon
agreed on a price of $18,000 for her interest provided that the
deed contain a covenant to prevent the property from being
developed.
On March 26th, a closing was held and the deed has since been
recorded.
This Resolve would ratify the actions of City staff in finalizing
the acquisition of this property.
