Information

Request/Subject

Public sale of a portion of New Street as shown on the Miami Map No. 2 GCR Map 23, Gila County Records, Gila County, AZ.

Background Information

On April 21, 2020, during a Regular Meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the Board directed staff to begin the process to abandon an unnecessary public roadway being a portion of New Street. Staff began the necessary notifications and public postings of the Board’s decision.

On October 9, 1909, at the request of F.L. Toombs, President of the Miami Realty Co., Miami Map No. 2 was recorded with Gila County. The recording information is Plat 23, Gila County Records, Territory of Arizona.

The streets, alleys, and parks are shown on the map were dedicated to the public.

New Street is the main access to Freeport-McMoRan Miami Inc.'s (FMMI) copper mine. The portion of New Street being considered for abandonment is not used by the general public. It is used by FMI and its employees and guests for access to the mine.

FMI has submitted a bid for the portion of New Street that adjoins its property. The bid meets the minimum requirement established by the current Gila County policy on the abandonment of roadways in Gila County.

Evaluation

Abandoning a portion of New Street will not deny anyone access to their property.

Conclusion

It is the best interest of all involved to abandon a portion of New Street.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of the Public Works Department Director that the Board of Supervisors accept a bid from FMMI in the amount of $1,488 for a portion of New Street adjacent to its property.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action for the public sale of a portion of New Street (as shown on Miami Map No. 2 GCR Map 23, Gila County Records, Gila County, AZ) to Freeport-McMoRan Miami Inc. in the amount of $1,488. (Steve Sanders)
