Board agrees informally to final 30‑day extension for resident awaiting housing, to be formalized at April meeting
Summary
A resident, Justin Cox, requested more time to secure housing; board members agreed informally to a 30‑day extension and asked staff to formalize the decision at the April 9 meeting, with several members warning that further extensions should not continue indefinitely.
Canaryville Town staff told the board on March 26 that resident Justin Cox requested additional time to find housing after a recent move. Board members said Mr. Cox has been actively searching for both permanent and temporary trailer options and has contacted local parks and trailer sites.
Board members expressed concern about repeated extensions for the same resident and discussed whether the town should limit future continuances. One member said 30 days would be the final extension they would grant. Staff explained a formal decision could not be made at the work session because the item was not on the published agenda; the board agreed to give Mr. Cox 30 days informally and to place an official item on the April 9 meeting agenda for a formal action.
The board asked staff to communicate the timeline and to report back at the next meeting with any new information from the resident about availability of temporary or permanent placement. No enforcement action was taken at the March 26 work session.
