Council approves consent agenda, sets multiple show-cause hearings and a Glenburn Commons special assessment
Summary
The Lansing City Council adopted the consent agenda, including a slate of show-cause hearings to make properties safe or demolish them, several grant acceptances, and a special assessment for Glenburn Commons (about $51.99 per occupied parcel for 2024 maintenance cost); the consent agenda passed unanimously.
The Lansing City Council unanimously approved the meeting's consent agenda, adopting a package of routine and time-sensitive items including multiple orders to set show-cause hearings, several grant acceptances, and a special assessment for Glenburn Commons.
Council moved to remove one previously adopted tribute from the consent motion and then passed the remainder. Among the items set for show-cause hearings (orders to make safe or demolish) were properties at 204 East Potter Avenue; 12302 North Washington Avenue; 1616 South Cedar Street; 1300 West Maple Street; 5600 and 5620 North Road (as recorded in the meeting); 17203 Osmond Avenue; 10203 Porter; 308 East Cesar Chavez Avenue; and 5141 South Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The city also accepted grants for projects including Lehi Tennis Courts rehabilitation, a National Trust for Historic Preservation grant, an Office of Financial Empowerment OS Reentry Program grant, and a Lansing Police Department Byron Justice Assistance Grant.
Councilman Brown moved the consent agenda items that included a motion to set a public hearing for a Glenburn Commons special assessment for trash and grass abatement. Brown said the association had dissolved and the city annually performs maintenance and then assesses parcels; the assessment amount was described as about $51.99 per occupied parcel for 2024 maintenance costs.
The consent agenda and all items included in it were approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
What happens next: the city will proceed with notices and processes tied to the show-cause hearings, grant agreements and the Glenburn Commons special assessment as outlined in the consent agenda materials.
