AGENDA ITEM COVER SHEET
BILL NO. 20-0721R.

Agenda Title:

20-072 - 1R.  An ordinance vacating the east/west running alley abutting the south lines of all of Lots 6 through 19, in Delay's Subdivision, a subdivision in Independence, Jackson County, Missouri.
Recommendations:

Approval of the ordinance is recommended.
Executive Summary:

The National Park Service is requesting that the City of Independence vacate a portion of a platted alley that bisects property the City intends to donate to the United States of America for the construction of a new facility for the Harry S Truman National Historic Site.
Background:

The National Park Service (NPS) is requesting that the City of Independence vacate a portion of a platted alley that bisects property the City intends to donate to the United States of America for the construction of a new facility for the Harry S Truman National Historic Site (NHS). The federal legislation that authorized a boundary revision to add certain lots to the NHS neglected to also add the subject alley to the NHS. Having the City vacate a portion of the alley would cause it to become part of the abutting lots and thereby preclude the NPS from taking approximately a year to revise the park boundary by adding the alley to the NHS.


Fiscal Impact:

There is no fiscal impact to the City.
