Jonesboro public safety committee forwards three condemnation resolutions to full City Council

The City of Jonesboro Public Safety Committee voted to recommend three separate condemnation resolutions to the full City Council. The committee approved resolutions for properties at 7.11 Burke Avenue (parcel 0114313403400), 2620 Crawford Drive, Unit 11 (parcel 01144273022) and 2017 Belt Street (parcel 0114417102600). Each resolution was moved, seconded and passed at the meeting and will be considered by the full City Council.

Committee members introduced the first resolution describing it as “a resolution by the City Council of the city of Jonesborough, Arkansas to condemn property located at 7.11, Burke Avenue, Jonesboro, Arkansas 72401. Parcel number 0114313403400.” After a motion, a second and no questions from administration or the public, the committee voted to forward that resolution to the council.

A second resolution concerning property at 2620 Crawford Drive, Unit 11, and parcel number 01144273022 was similarly moved and seconded; the committee heard no public comment and forwarded it to the full council. The final resolution on the agenda, identified in the transcript as “resolution 25 1 23,” concerned property at 2017 Belt Street (parcel 0114417102600). That resolution also received a motion and second, attracted no questions from the administration or members of the public, and was forwarded to the full council.

No vote tallies or named roll-call votes were recorded in the committee transcript; minutes state only that each resolution “does pass” and was forwarded to the City Council. There was no recorded public comment on any of the three items during the committee’s consideration.

The committee then moved on to other business on the agenda.
