Council hears update on two hoarding/vehicle cases; staff monitoring municipal court outcomes
Summary
Council was informed that two properties with large numbers of vehicles are in municipal court and that staff are enforcing existing hoarding and parking ordinances; no ordinance changes were requested pending court results.
City staff briefed the Raymore City Council about two properties with extensive vehicle parking and said municipal court is processing enforcement actions under the city’s hoarding and vehicle‑parking provisions.
Staff said the matter is actively in municipal court and recommended the council refrain from detailed questioning while cases are pending. Legal counsel and staff said they do not currently recommend ordinance changes; instead staff will monitor court rulings and may return with proposed code revisions depending on case outcomes.
Councilmembers who raised the issue said they had received constituent complaints and wanted assurance that staff were addressing the properties. Staff confirmed enforcement is underway and that they would report back after the court process concludes. No new enforcement action or code change was adopted at the meeting.
