Council member asks to table five demolition public hearings over 50-day notice concern
Summary
A council member requested that five public-nuisance demolition hearings be tabled because the required 50-day notice period had not been met; the member said they were two days short and would re-notice the hearings.
During the Jan. 27 pre-meeting, a speaker (recorded as speaker 7) formally requested that the council "table all 5 of these applications today" for demolition and public-nuisance determinations at five addresses, citing noncompliance with the city's 50-day notice ordinance and saying the notices were "two days short." The speaker asked the council to table the items "permanently" until new notices with correct hearing dates could be issued so the matter can be moved forward properly.
The clerk had announced the affected addresses (21 Bruce Wood Drive West; 301 Union Avenue; 957 Lyon Street; 1052 Persimmon Street; 4720 Oxford Drive) when the speaker interjected. The presiding officer acknowledged the request and the speaker said they would provide new notice with a new public-hearing date.
The transcript records the request and an acknowledgment by the presiding officer; it does not record a formal vote or final disposition in the pre-meeting segment. Council action is therefore not recorded in this excerpt; staff and the speaker indicated the hearings will be re-noticed to meet the city's ordinance timeline.
