Board asked to approve deed-cleanup exchange with Etowah Water & Sewer Authority

County staff asked the board to accept an agreement recording corrected deeds for two parcels that were misidentified on historic plats. The item arose during planning for a new gym at Rock Creek Park when staff discovered one parcel near Rotary Island was deeded to Etowah Water & Sewer although it functionally belongs to the park, and another parcel on Martin Road recorded to Dawson County but believed to be Etowah property.

Staff said legal counsel for both parties reviewed surveys and prepared new deeds; the board was asked to accept the exchange and record the deeds. The presenter described the action as a deed cleanup with no funds changing hands and characterized the parcels as similarly sized (about two acres and one and a half acres).

The recorded transcript shows the presentation and that the board was asked to accept the agreement; no formal vote on recording or acceptance appears in the provided excerpt.
