Reece, the property representative for Indiana & Michigan Power Company explained that in their property audit which was internally being conducted, it was discovered that the area in question was believed to have been vacated back in 1922. However, in light of the fact that there were no proper legal documents located verifying such a vacation, it was recommended by the Engineering Department that a re-vacation proceeding take place. A copy of the minutes of the Board of Public Works meeting of October 17, 1988 as well as a copy of a letter dated October 18, 1988 was then submitted to the Committee for review on the proposed vacation.
