City moves to demolish unsafe building after owner fails to act
In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the timeline and financial implications of a property agreement concerning a dilapidated building. The consensus among members was that the repayment period for the agreement would be capped at eight years, with a minimum payment of $25,000 annually, totaling just under $200,000. This figure could potentially decrease if larger payments are made.

The conversation also addressed the safety concerns surrounding the building, which has been deemed unsafe. One official, Mr. Woodhall, detailed the efforts made to contact the property owner, who has indicated an inability to manage or repair the structure. Following a series of communications, it was confirmed that the owner lacks the financial resources to address the property's condition, prompting discussions about the necessity of demolition.

The meeting underscored the urgency of the situation, as officials are considering expediting the demolition process due to safety issues, ensuring that all procedural steps have been followed to address the property owner's responsibilities.
