Hello,
The legal descriptions on the Certified Survey map are what the description of the property is
before the map is recorded. The act of recording the map actually changes the legal description
of the property from that point forward. Therefore, the updated and current legal description of
the park is actually much simpler than the old one.
The legal description for your ordinance should be as follows:
“Part of the Southwest quarter of the Southwest quarter and part of the Southeast quarter of the
Southwest quarter of Section 24, Township 28 North, Range 19 East, City of Oconto Falls,
Oconto County, Wisconsin known as Lot 1 of Certified Survey Map number 6068, recorded in
the Oconto County Registry on February 17th, 2025 as Document Number 774097.”
Thanks again,

Paul,
I am verifying that the legal description on Page 1 of the certified survey map and page
2 and three correspond to the legal description of the designation of McDermid Park.
All indications are that this is correct, I am verifying before adopting at Ordinance
committee and Council. I questioned after the letter and attachment for Allen Perucco
quick claim deed for his property being quick claimed to him from the city.
Please provide clarification and confirmation.
Thank you
