City Council Moves to Condemn Unsafe Property
During a recent government meeting, the council addressed significant safety concerns regarding local properties. The council moved to declare a structure at 818 West Seeley Boulevard unsafe. This resolution also classified the property as a nuisance under the Cedar Falls Code of Ordinances. The council ordered the property owner to either demolish or fix the structure by a specific date. If the owner fails to comply, the city will take action at the owner's expense.

The motion to approve this resolution received a majority vote, with five members in favor and one abstention. The council then proceeded to discuss another property located at 804 to 806 West Cereley Boulevard. A hearing was held regarding its proposed condemnation. However, there were no written communications submitted for this item.

City staff member Jamie Castle provided comments on the matter, but specific details were not disclosed in the transcript. The discussions highlight the council's commitment to addressing unsafe buildings and maintaining community safety.
