Council member Pelle Vanaglu moved a 21-day make-safe-or-demolish order for 204 East Kavanaugh Road, originally red-tagged June 27, 2022; a mechanical permit application dated Feb. 13, 2025 remained on hold pending building permit issuance, and council recorded noncompliance and approved the 21-day order without recorded opposition.

The council approved a 21-day make-safe-or-demolish order for 1612 Martin Street, which was red-tagged Aug. 5, 2023 and had previously been ordered by a hearing officer to be made safe or demolished; code enforcement reported no compliance and the council moved the 21-day order unanimously.

For 1616 South Cedar Street, councilmember Hellebone moved and council approved a 60-day make-safe-or-demolish order. That property was originally red-tagged May 10, 2011; the owner told council he and his wife had been ill and that he was working with the city on a plumbing permit and hardwired smoke detectors. The council recorded the update and extended a 60-day compliance window.

Separately, a show-cause hearing for 1033 Shepherd Street proceeded. City staff reported the property's SEV (state equalized value) as $31,900, an estimated repair cost of $82,009, eight premise violations since the property was red-tagged in 2022, and a September 2024 zoning violation for storage of junk, vehicles and trash. The city recommended 30 days to make safe or demolish.

Property owner William Russell addressed council during the hearing, saying code compliance personnel had entered his home without permission and disputing some of the enforcement chronology; he also said he did not own the property in 2011. Council recorded his remarks and referred the item to the Public Safety committee, which was scheduled to meet the following day. No final make-safe-or-demolish order was adopted at the March 20 meeting for 1033 Shepherd; the committee referral was the recorded action.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","March 24th, 2025 City Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Lansing City Council on March 20 approved make-safe or demolish orders for 204 E.

Vice President Carter moved the ordinance; Clerk Swope conducted a roll call showing six yeas, zero nays. Following adoption, council approved a motion to make the ordinance effective immediately.

The ordinance language was read for the first time by title during the meeting and then put to a roll-call vote. No amendments or separate discussion were recorded during the reading and adoption.

Council did not specify a phased enforcement schedule in the meeting record; staff referrals and enforcement details were not specified and will be handled through the usual code-enforcement and public-service channels.","The Lansing City Council on March 20 adopted an ordinance prohibiting unregistered vehicles from parking on public streets, alleys and highways.

The proposal includes money for public safety staffing and equipment: Schor said the budget includes funding that would pay for 10 police officers if an expected $3.5 million in state public-safety revenue-sharing arrives; the administration also included $150,000 for an additional firefighter and $300,000 to continue an intervention program described in the packet.

'We had significant increases in costs due to pay increases as per the CBAs, employee reclassifications and healthcare,' Schor said. He told council directors and staff supplied detailed line-by-line materials for the review process and said council members would have opportunities to question department directors during budget hearings.

The proposal sets aside $17.5 million for roads; Schor said the city itself is budgeting $10 million and would add state or other funds if legislative proposals pass, potentially expanding the total to a larger multi-year package. The budget also includes $1 million for sidewalks, $75,000 for a southeast community center study, $200,000 for liquid brine anti-icing measures, and $4 million for the city fleet.

Schor said the golf fund subsidy has fallen to $15,000 for the year, down from higher amounts in prior years. He said the administration is leaving the city's uncommitted fund balance at about 13 percent, leaving about $250,000 available for council to allocate without dipping below the target.

The mayor said Jake Brower provided the line-by-line budget detail to council and that department presentations and committee review are scheduled in the coming weeks. No formal council vote on the budget was taken on March 20; the council president set a public hearing date as part of subsequent committee scheduling.","Mayor Andy Schor on March 20 presented the city's proposed fiscal 2025-26 budget, highlighting a $173 million general fund, new public safety positions tied to expected state revenue, and $17.5 million in local road funding.
