City to engage outside firm for dangerous-structure legal notices and tracking
Summary
Staff described a program to contract with an outside firm to handle legal notifications and tracking for dangerous and unsafe structures; staff said the contract’s setup costs are part of an engagement letter and that the plan is within spending limits for administrative approval.
City staff told the Fairhope City Council work session that the city plans to contract with an outside provider to assist with the city’s dangerous-and-unsafe-structures enforcement program.
The staff presentation said the vendor would handle legal notifications, tracking and the administrative burden tied to unsafe-structure proceedings. Staff said the engagement includes a setup fee (described as the engagement letter/setup cost) and that the overall spending will remain under the administrative limit for council approval; the exact dollar amounts were not provided at the work session.
Staff described the engagement as a tool to streamline the notice and tracking processes; the item did not appear to require formal spending approval during the work session and staff said they would provide additional details when the matter is scheduled for formal action.
Council members asked procedural clarifying questions; staff said the specific costs depend on the number of cases and the services required under the engagement.
