City reports progress on building demolitions and pending land acquisition for park expansion
Summary
City staff said the first round of demolitions included two voluntary and five involuntary demolitions, four properties sold afterward; staff also reported site plans returned for a property purchase that could add park land to the city and said more involuntary demolitions are planned.
City staff reported that the first round of building demolitions is complete: two voluntary demolitions and five done involuntarily. Staff said four of the involuntarily demolished properties were later sold at courthouse steps and that the city will move forward with a next round that could include five additional demolitions.
Staff also told the council that site plans had returned for a real estate acquisition discussed months earlier; staff said they hope to bring an item back to the council at a future meeting to add park ground to the city's inventory. The updates were presented as part of staff reports rather than formal agenda items, and council did not take a separate vote on the demolitions report during the session.
The council also heard that construction had started on a downtown stage project and that the city was monitoring scheduling for future meetings and retreats.
