NO. 89-51 The City Council adopted Resolution 89-51 rescinding Resolution No. 3847 and authorizing the City Clerk or CC -6 designated Deputy City Clerk to accept deeds and grants on CC -27 (a) behalf of the City. CC -300 ' City Attorney McNatt advised the City Council that Resolution No. 3847, adopted in 1973, authorized City Clerk Alice Reimche to accept deeds on behalf of the City. Because of the fashion in which the Resolution was drafted, no other person was authorized to sign the acceptance of y such deeds, and this has created some inconvenience. It is noted that Government Code 927281, specifying the language of acceptance which must appear on deeds to the City, has been modified at least twice since Resolution No. 3847 was adopted, The proposed amended resolution simply designates "the City Clerk or authorized Deputy City Clerk" to sign the acceptance of such deeds. It also rescinds Resolution No. 3847. The language appearing on the deeds should be modified to reflect that which now exists in the statute, and which must appear in substantially the following form: This is to certify that the interest in real property conveyed by the deed or grant dated from to the City of Lodi, a municipal corporation, is hereby accepted by order of the undersigned officer on behalf of the City Council of Lodi pursuant to authority conferred by Resolution No. adopted by the City Council on , and the grantee consents to the recordation t ere its duly authorized officer. Dated: City Clerk of the City of Lodi These proposed modifications will satisfy statutory requirements and allow a Deputy City Clerk to accept conveyances of real property where the City Clerk may be temporarily unavailable.
