Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Jason Bickling, Assistant City Manager
Subject: Resolution 2023-135: Authorizing the City Manager to Acquire the Property at 102
Monroe Street (Parcel 14806004 - Legal Description_ T 1S R 1 W SEC 10 SEWARD
MERIDIAN SW 0000001 ORIGINAL TOWNSITE OF SEWARD LOTS 21 & 22 AND
THE S 1 FT OF E1/2 LOT 23 BLOCK 40 EXCLUDING N 1 FT OF WI/2 OF LOT 22)
Through The Borough Land Conveyance Process.
Background and justification;
On November 3, 2023, The. Borough Land Management Office contacted the City to see if we would be
interested in acquiring parcel number 14806004_ This parcel is across First Street from the Mount Marathon
Jeep Trail Trailhead and on the North side of Monroe.
This parcel has been on a list that Community Development has been keeping of properties that are
uninhabited and or derelict.
This area of downtown has a need for more parking and a history of parking issues because of the trailhead.
There can't be parking at the trailhead itself because it is also an emergency access for Mount Marathon.. If
the City is able to acquire the property, it would be able to be developed into a parking area, alleviating on
street parking pressure and vehicles blocking emergency access.
The process for getting conveyance of the parcel is to get a resolution from City Council and to pay the owed
taxes, which are approximately $7500. There may also be costs associated with getting the deed conveyed
and recording:
If acquired, there would also be the cost of demolishing the current structures and possible removal of
vehicles. We know that the rough cost to demolish and remove is between $15,000 and $20,000, unless there
are hazardous materials in the structure_ Even with that, we feel that this is a good investment for the city to
create a permanent solution for recreational access parking. If approved, we would have P&Z discuss and
make a draft plan for it for council to review.
