Butler council introduces land‑bank ordinance, adopts small CDBG housing rehab adjustment
Summary
The Butler City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1841 to create a land bank and adopted Resolution 2026-04-23 to increase a CDBG Housing Rehabilitation line item by $1,437.10. Both actions passed unanimously at the April 23 meeting.
The Butler City Council on April 23 introduced Ordinance No. 1841, a first reading to create a city land bank, and approved a related Community Development Block Grant adjustment increasing the Housing Rehabilitation line item by $1,437.10.
Mayor Robert A. Dandoy moved the measures during the council meeting and both motions carried with all members present voting aye. The resolution (2026-04-23) directs the Redevelopment Authority of the City of Butler to act as the city’s agent for 2021–2025 CDBG entitlements and specifies that the $1,437.10 increase comes from funds reimbursed by a former client for an ineligible project.
Councilmembers raised no recorded objections during the introduction and first reading of the land‑bank ordinance. The ordinance was introduced for its first reading only; the transcript records no final vote on adoption at this meeting. The resolution text was entered into the record and certified by City Clerk Melinda F. Gall.
The actions place the city on a pathway to develop a land‑banking tool for managing vacant or tax‑delinquent properties, while the modest CDBG line‑item increase adjusts program accounting to reflect a reimbursement. The Redevelopment Authority will carry out the CDBG revision under existing state program rules as noted in the resolution.
Next steps: Ordinance No. 1841 will follow the city’s usual ordinance process (additional readings and votes as required). The Redevelopment Authority implementation of the CDBG adjustment is administrative and reflected in the certified resolution.
