The property was thought to be owned by Ted Garner, but in checking at the title company the property was deeded to the city in 1918. The council discussed what the reason was that the city has the property. Ted Garner's son was at the meeting to give some history of the property. The Garners have been paying taxes on it at least since 1963. The attorney told the council that they needed to make a decision as what they were going to do with it and then have it appraised, then advertise it if you are going to sell it or convey it or keep it, or if you are going to keep it then you don't have to do anything further.
