RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO CONVEY PROPERTY TO CITY WATER AND LIGHT PLANT
body
WHEREAS, in accord with an agreement by and between the City of Jonesboro and the City Water & Light Plant, the City used its power of condemnation to successfully prosecute its condemnation suit against certain property on Carson Street between Washington Avenue and Monroe Avenue described as Lot 3 of Cobb’s Survey of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 18, Township 14 North, Range 4 East; and
WHEREAS, the entire amount of damages due the owner of said property on account of such condemnation has been paid by the City Water & Light Plant without costs to the City; and
WHEREAS, although it was necessary to condemn the entire property being 65 feet in width, only the West Half of said property or 32 ½ feet of width is needed by the City for its street right-of-way purposes and the East Half of said property is, therefore, surplus.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Jonesboro, Arkansas that for and in consideration of the retention by the City of the West Half of said Lot 3 without cost to the City in the acquisition of said property, the East Half of said Lot 3 should be quitclaimed to the City Water & Light Plant of the City of Jonesboro, Arkansas, and the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized and directed to execute a Quitclaim Deed conveying the East Half of Lot 3 of Cobb’s Survey of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of Section 18, Township 14 North, Range 4 East to the said City Water & Light Plant.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 17th day of September, 1962.
