Medford council declares small Rock Island parcel surplus, will advertise sale

The Medford City Council voted to declare the north 10 feet of the west 60 feet of Lot 6, Block 73 (Rock Island Addition) as surplus property and authorized advertising it for sale. The sale will be subject to an easement back to the city or any future owners of the adjoining east 80 feet of lots 6–12.

Vice‑Mayor Steve Zeman made the motion and Councilmember Rick Cardwell seconded; the motion carried with all members present voting yes. The decision records the parcel dimensions (10' x 60') and the easement condition as part of the sale terms.

The minutes do not specify a listing price or sale timeline; the council’s action authorizes staff to proceed with advertising the parcel consistent with the easement condition.
