The Kokomo City Board of Public Works and Safety on March 19 authorized city crews to enter five properties and remove items previously abated by city staff, while excluding two addresses from the removal order.
A staff member told the board that the properties remained in violation despite earlier abatements and requested permission for city crews to remove the listed items. The addresses named in the memorandum were 314 East Madison Street, 1420 North Washington Street, 900 West Taylor Street, 1133 South Cortland Avenue and 1329 North Wabash Avenue. The motion, as stated on the record, excluded removal at 610 West Elm Street and 1114 West Monroe Street.
Board members opened the meeting for public comment; none was offered. A board member moved to approve the staff request with the two exclusions, a colleague seconded, the board voted "Aye" and the motion carried.
The board did not state individual vote counts on the record. The action authorizes city crews to enter the five properties listed in the city memorandum and remove abated items; the two excluded addresses remain subject to separate enforcement procedures, if any.
Chelsea, a city staff member thanked during the meeting, was acknowledged after the motion. The board did not provide additional timeline or cost estimates for the removals during the March 19 meeting.
