Council adds two properties to condemnation list; next steps to follow
Summary
The council voted to add two properties — 6204 Molino and 4331 Amherst Drive — to the condemnation list; staff said legal and demolition timing will follow consultation with the city attorney.
The City Council voted July 22 to add two properties, 6204 Molino and 4331 Amherst Drive, to the city’s condemnation list.
Council members moved and seconded the additions during the meeting. After the motion and public brief discussion, the council approved the additions by voice vote; the mayor said staff will coordinate next steps with the city attorney to determine timing for any demolition or enforcement actions.
Why it matters — Property condemnation is the first formal step in a process that can lead to repair orders or demolition for unsafe or derelict properties. The mayor said the city attempts to coordinate condemnation actions carefully to avoid creating unmanaged vacant lots, and that staff are studying options used elsewhere to turn blighted parcels into productive property once structures are removed.
Ending — The council did not set demolition dates at the meeting; staff said they will follow the city’s condemnation procedures and coordinate with legal counsel before returning an item to the council for final action.
