Opelika council approves five resolutions to demolish properties and levy weed-abatement assessments
Summary
On June 2, the Opelika City Council unanimously approved five consent resolutions authorizing demolitions at two Martin Luther King Boulevard addresses and weed-abatement assessments at those addresses plus 1211 Magnolia Street; all votes were unanimous and there were no speakers during the hearings.
The Opelika City Council on June 2 approved five consent resolutions authorizing demolitions and weed-abatement assessments after public hearings that drew no speakers.
Council approved Resolution 1 to demolish the structure at 500A Martin Luther King Boulevard and Resolution 2 to demolish the structure at 500B Martin Luther King Boulevard. The council then approved three weed-abatement-assessment items: 500A Martin Luther King Boulevard (Resolution 3), 500B Martin Luther King Boulevard (Resolution 4) and 1211 Magnolia Street (Resolution 5).
Each resolution was moved, seconded and passed by unanimous roll call; the meeting record shows the council voted "I" on each item. No members of the public addressed the hearings when the council opened them for public comment.
The resolutions were listed on the consent agenda and approved as part of the consent vote that also included awarding of bids. The council did not discuss substantive policy changes related to demolition or nuisance enforcement during the meeting; the items were processed as routine consent business.
Next steps: The resolutions as passed authorize city staff to proceed with the actions described (demolition and abatement assessments) under the city’s existing administrative processes; the meeting record does not specify contractors, timelines or cost estimates for the listed properties.
