Adopt Resolution No. 20-11-01 to accept a parcel of land from Reta W. Cruse, as Trustee of the Reta W. Cruse Trust.
Background Information
A few miles north of the community of Young, Forest Road 512 crosses Cherry Creek. Gila County owns the bridge and land around the bridge. On the south side of the bridge, Reta Cruse owns a small parcel of land. The property is in the creek and on the adjacent bank. Cruse owns a sizable amount of property north of the bridge. Due to the County owning the bridge and land around the bridge, the Cruse property isn’t contiguous. Earlier this year, a representative of Ms. Cruse contacted the County and said Ms. Cruse would like to give the parcel to the County.
Evaluation
The parcel of land is beneficial to the County as it will allow access to the bridge and let the County maintain the channel and bridge as needed.
Conclusion
A Quit Claim Deed was prepared by the County for Ms. Cruse to sign. The deed was recorded on Oct. 22, 2020, at Fee. No. 2020-012841, Gila County Records.
Recommendation
Gila County Public Works recommends accepting the Quit Claim Deed.
