Summary
The council completed a second reading and approved an ordinance replacing the city's existing dangerous buildings article with a new chapter defining procedures to declare structures dangerous or unsafe.
The Lebanon City Council completed the second reading and approved an ordinance repealing the existing chapter on "dangerous buildings" and enacting a new Chapter 8, Article 4 addressing dangerous and unsafe structures.
The ordinance was read aloud for a second time as Council took up council bill 69-25. The reading described the change as replacing the prior article in its entirety and creating a newly worded chapter that sets policies and procedures for how the city would declare buildings "dangerous and unsafe." The council then moved and seconded the ordinance and approved it by roll call.
Councilmembers recorded yes votes during the roll calls. The ordinance text as read to council and the minutes refer to repeal of the previous chapter and enactment of a new Article 4; no amendments were read into the record during the public meeting.
The transcript records the item as a second-reading approval; the council did not discuss substantive changes to the ordinance language on the record during this session.
