Summary

The board gave city crews permission to enter two properties — 608 West Jackson and 116 West Steffenbaugh — and remove items previously abated by city code enforcement.

The Board of Public Works and Safety authorized city crews to enter two properties and remove items listed as abated by city code enforcement on Aug. 20.

A city staff member said all properties listed in the memorandum ‘‘have been abated by our office’’ and that the items remain in violation; the properties cited were 608 West Jackson Street and 116 West Steffenbaugh Street. The staff member requested permission for city crews to enter the properties and remove the abated items.

A board member moved to grant permission; another seconded. The presiding officer called for a voice vote and the motion carried.

The transcript contains no itemized list of the abated materials, no cost estimate for removal, and no record of property-owner responses during the meeting. The authorization applies to the properties and items listed in the city memorandum on file with the board.
