Council accepts final payment requisition for Mac Phase One water project; discusses demolitions and liens
Summary
Council reviewed a final payment requisition for the Mac Phase One water project totaling about $69,100 and moved to accept it; members also discussed demolition of unsafe, abandoned properties and placing liens to recover cleanup costs.
The Neon City Council reviewed a final requisition for the Mac Phase One water project and moved to accept the closeout payment during its March 16 meeting.
The transcript lists line items that sum to approximately $69,100: about $50,850 to the pipeline contractor, a $10,000 credit, and roughly $8,229.50 for engineering — figures presented by staff for the final payment. A council member moved to accept the payment and close out the project; the meeting transcript records a motion and second but does not include a formal roll-call tally.
Council also discussed recent demolitions of two dilapidated houses using a local ordinance permitting removal of properties that are rat‑infested, flooded or abandoned. The mayor said the city would place liens on those properties to recoup cleanup costs and warned owners that neglected lots could be demolished under the city’s ordinance. The mayor noted one additional burned house with two fatalities and said demolition will wait for a returning official (Mitch) to determine any required release or clearance before action.
No formal ordinance vote on vehicle registration enforcement was taken; a proposal to draft an ordinance requiring removal of vehicles with registration expired one year or longer on city property was made and tabled until a council member returns next month.
