Information

Request/Subject

Public Sale for an unnamed alley lying between Hill and Marian Street and between a portion of blocks 23 and 24 as shown on Miami Map No. 2, Official Map No. 22, Gila County Records.

Background Information

On September 20, 2011 during a regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors the Board gave the approval to begin the process to dispose of an unnecessary unnamed alley lying between Hill and Marian Street and between a portion of blocks 23 and 24 as shown on Miami Map No. 2, Official Map No. 22, Gila County Records. Staff began the necessary notifications and public postings of the Board’s decision.
The parcels of land that abut the alley are owned by the Nichols Trust. A trustee for the Nichols Trust has submitted a bid for the alley adjacent to their property.
Nichols Trust submitted a bid in the amount of $902.00 for the alley. This bid meets the minimum requirements established by the current Gila County Policy on the abandonments of roadways in Gila County.

Evaluation

The alley was created when Miami Map No. 2 was recorded on October 9, 1909. The alley in question is not needed for maintenance purposes by Gila County, and is important to an adjacent land owner. Abandoning this portion of the alley does not negatively affect Gila County or our ability to maintain this area. It does assist an adjacent land owner in the service to their customers.
The County will benefit from the sale of the road by having the property go on the County’s tax rolls.

Conclusion

It would be in the best interest of all parties involved to allow the alley lying between Hill and Marian Street and between a portion of blocks 23 and 24 as shown on Miami Map No. 2, Official Map No. 22, Gila County Records to become the property of the adjacent landowner.

Recommendation

The Public Works Division Deputy Director recommends that Gila County accept a bid from the Nichols Trust in the amount of $902.00 for an unnamed alley lying between Hill and Marian Street and between a portion of blocks 23 and 24 as shown on Miami Map No. 2, Official Map No. 22, Gila County Records.

Suggested Motion

Public Sale – Information/Discussion/Action for the public sale an unnamed alley lying between Hill and Marian Street and between a portion of blocks 23 and 24 as shown on Miami Map No. 2, Official Map No. 22, Gila County Records, and accept a bid in the amount of $902.00 from the Nichols Trust.
