Exchange of four acres of Park Land. Councilman Eavenson had been working
with the Hassie Hunt properties for an even exchange of four acres of Park
land. The City has four acres of land east of the creek which is difficult
for the City to maintain. Hassie Hunt Properties also has four acres of
land on the west side of the creek which is difficult for farmers to get
their equipment on. City and Hassie Hunt Properties agreed to make an even
exchange of their properties. Councilman Eavenson moved to authorize the
Mayor to execute the necessary legal papers to finalize this exchange.
Motion was seconded by Councilman Martin. Motion carried unanimously.
