The Sweetwater City Council held public hearings and adopted orders declaring two properties to be dilapidated or otherwise unfit for human habitation and requiring repair, rehabilitation or demolition within 35 days.
For 114 West Broadway Avenue, staff presented the condition report, council held a public hearing, and the council adopted an order that property owners must repair, rehabilitate or demolish the structure within 35 days of the order. Council approved the motion by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded.
For 107 Robert Lee Street, staff again presented conditions and the council opened a public hearing. Staff stated the owners are not local (identified as being from Santa Fe, Mexico in the record). After the hearing, council adopted an order directing repair, rehabilitation or demolition within 35 days of the order.
Council's orders give the property owners a 35-day period to comply with the repair or demolition requirements; if they fail to act, the city may proceed under its code enforcement procedures to remedy the public nuisance, as described in the orders read into the record.
The meeting transcript records questions from council about whether the city would perform demolition or hire a contractor; no detailed implementation plan or budget was read into the record during the meeting.
