Staff reported that three properties identified for demolition have been put out to bid, a contract has been executed and staff are preparing a notice to proceed with the state. Work on the demolitions is expected to begin in September, staff said.

Board members asked for confirmation of the timetable; staff answered the notice to proceed is being finalized with the state and work will begin next month. No further policy action or vote was required at the meeting; the project schedule and contractor notices will proceed through staff channels and any necessary permits.
