Information

Request/Subject

Public Sale for a portion of S. Burnham Street as shown on Official Map No. 48, Gila County Records, Gila County, AZ.

Background Information

On February 17, 2015, during a regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the Board gave the approval to begin the process to dispose of an unnecessary public roadway being a portion of S. Burnham Street. Staff began the necessary notifications and public postings of the Board’s decision. There is one parcel of land that abuts the portion of S. Burnham Street being abandoned. There is one adjacent landowner who has been contacted and given the option that can exercise preference rights before the proposed date of sale by or appear at the public sale and submit a bid for that portion of S. Burnham Street adjacent to their property. Jarrett Amado has submitted a bid in the amount of $35.00 for the portion of S. Burnham Street adjacent to his property. This bid meets the minimum requirements established by the current Gila County policy on the abandonment of roadways in Gila County. No other bid has been received; however, bids may be accepted at the public sale.

Evaluation

S. Burnham Street was created when the Midland City Subdivision, Official Map No. 48, Gila County Records, was created in 1915. This portion of S. Burnham Street was never built and it only exists on paper. Other areas of S. Burnham Street have been abandoned in the past. The County will benefit from the sale of the road by having the property go on the County’s tax rolls.

Conclusion

Since this road only exists on paper and has never been constructed, the abandonment of this portion of S. Burnham St. will not harm the County in its duty to provide access to residents and the public.

Recommendation

The Public Works Division Director recommends that Gila County accept the bid from Jarrett Amado.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action for the public sale of a portion of S. Burnham Street as shown on Official Map No. 48 and to accept a bid in the amount of $35.00 from Jarrett Amado for that portion of S. Burnham Street adjacent to parcel 207-06-106. (Steve Sanders)
