Christopher Strachangas, community development director, told the commission that code enforcement cited the property at 328 West Second Street for accumulation of trash and debris, general neglect and an inoperable vehicle not on a hard surface. Strachangas said certified and regular letters were mailed and a physical posting placed on the property, but there was no substantive communication from the landowners.

Strachangas said code enforcement sought an administrative warrant through district court to enable staff to enter the fenced property for abatement, but the district court judge declined to sign that warrant, directing that a civil action at a public hearing was required instead. Strachangas asked the commission to adopt Resolution R3117 to authorize city staff to abate the nuisance so the city can clean the yard, remove debris and address the inoperable vehicle and then assess abatement costs to the owners.

A commissioner moved to approve Resolution R3117 and another commissioner seconded; the motion carried after commissioners voted "Aye." The director said staff has photographed the property, initiated an investigation into structural/foundation concerns, and will remove yard debris, the vehicle and other external nuisances. He explained that abatement costs will be assessed to the property owners consistent with city code; if owners do not pay, the city may place a lien or otherwise pursue collection as permitted by ordinance.

During public comment several residents raised broader concerns about blighted properties elsewhere in the city; commissioners and staff responded that code enforcement will prioritize complaints and that residents can report nuisances through the city's website or contact departments directly. No civil-penalty hearing or court action on this property was reported at the meeting beyond the administrative steps described.
