Calhoun County Commission approves multiple public-nuisance abatements, dismissals and invoice
Summary
The commission voted unanimously Oct. 24 to proceed with abatements at several properties, dismiss nuisance designations on others, and approve a $6,776 removal invoice for a property in Anniston; Environmental Programs Manager Kraig Mize presented the lists and motions were unanimous.
The Calhoun County Commission on Oct. 24 approved a series of actions related to property code enforcement, including abatements, dismissals and an invoice for removal costs.
Environmental Programs Manager Kraig Mize presented lists of properties recommended for public-nuisance abatement and for dismissal. For abatement he identified eight properties in Anniston and Jacksonville, noting owners had been notified but no representatives were present; Commissioner Shears moved to adopt the abatements and Commissioner Wilson seconded. The commission carried the motion by unanimous voice vote.
Mize also recommended dismissing nuisance designations for eight other properties. Commissioner Patterson moved for dismissal, Commissioner Howell seconded, and the commission approved the dismissals unanimously.
Separately, Mize recommended approving an invoice of $6,776.00 for removal costs at 3519 Gurnee Avenue, Anniston (owner listed as Dominique Dupree). Commissioner Howell moved to approve the invoice and Commissioner Wilson seconded; the vote was unanimous.
Why it matters: Local nuisance abatements and dismissals affect property owners’ obligations and county code enforcement workloads; the approved removal invoice will be paid from county-authorized funds.
What’s next: The minutes record that resolutions for abatements, dismissals and the invoice are on file with the county clerk. No appeals or hearings by property owners were recorded in the meeting summary.
