RESOLUTION: 2004-40

SUBJECT: Resolution accepting a Treasurer's Deed for the conveyance of a portion of Lakewood Gulch Park located at West 7th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard, to clear title to a portion of Lakewood Gulch Park.

ADDRESS: Lakewood Gulch Park located at West 7th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard.

RECOMMENDATION: Adoption of this Resolution.

SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER: There has been a portion of Lakewood Gulch Park located at West 7th Avenue and Sheridan Boulevard, which according to the Jefferson County Assessor's records, was owned by someone else other than the City of Lakewood. This portion of the park remained on the property tax roll but the taxes were not being paid resulting in this portion of the park being offered by tax sale. In order to obtain ownership to this portion of the park and at the same time clear the title to the park the City has been paying the property taxes so that we can obtain a Treasurer's Deed, which will give the City clear title to the park. The required time to purchase this portion of the park has passed and the City received a Treasurer's Deed for this portion of the park. The Jefferson County Treasurer executed the Treasurer's Deed to the City of Lakewood on March 17, 2004, and recorded the deed at the Jefferson County Clerk and Recorder on March 22, 2004, at Reception Number F1988043. Now that the City owns this remaining portion of the park a Resolution needs to be passed officially accepting this deed.
