Resident asks council to clean vacant lot; council moves into executive session on property
Summary
During public comment, a resident asked the council to clean a nearby lot and to remind businesses not to use residential driveways; council then voted to enter executive session to discuss purchase or disposition of property involving wastewater-treatment plant administrators.
During the public-comment period at the March 25 Struthers City Council meeting, resident Tina Berman of 422 6th Street asked whether the city plans to clean up an adjacent lot she described as a muddy parking area with debris and noted that new building owners had been seen surveying the property. She asked the council to emphasize to businesses that residential driveways should not be used for commercial parking.
Shortly after public comment, council moved to enter executive session. The stated purpose was to discuss the purchase or sale of property for public purposes or disposition of property, and the clerk referenced that the subject would involve Stothers wastewater treatment plant administrators Mark Chacon and Jason Hall. A motion to go into executive session was made, seconded and carried on the council floor.
When the meeting reconvened, the chair announced a reminder that the Finance and Legislation committee will meet Wednesday, April 1 at 6:00 p.m., and then the council adjourned.
The transcript includes a record of speakers discussing a witness contact and statements; that material appears in the session-marked part of the transcript. The council's public record at this meeting documents the motion to enter executive session for property matters and the names of administrators associated with the subject property; no formal decisions concerning the property were recorded in open session.
