FINANCE DEPARTMENT 
 
MEMORANDUM 
 
TO: C. Seth Sumner, City Manager 
FROM: Mike Keith, Finance Director 
DATE: January 31, 2022 
SUBJECT: Purchase of Right-of-Way for Redfern Drive Property  
 
Attached is a map of the Redfern Drive property owned by the City.  During the negotiation 
process that has taken place over the past several months for the potential sale of 5 acres of this 
property, it was determined that we needed to obtain a survey of the entire property.  Christian 
Medders is in the process of completing this for the City.  The preliminary review of the maps of 
the property identified that the highlighted area, approximately 4 acres, may be needed in order 
to get a more direct ingress/egress to the propert y to line up the potential for having an access 
road across the entire length of the property.  In discussing this with the Mayor  and Ben 
Burchfield, that once the final survey is completed, we would like to go ahead and begin 
negotiations with the property owner should the survey show that this property is not owned by 
the City.  I have attached a resolution authorizing the negotiations to take place with the Mayor,  
City Manager and the property owner for the amount of property needed.  Final approval of the 
purchase would require Council approval.   
 
I believe this will be beneficial in helping this process move along as quickly as possible  and be 
the last step needed in order to facilitate the development of this property.  Please let me know 
if you have any questions regarding this.
