Wauseon council authorizes immediate remediation funding after house fire, flags limited budget
Summary
The Wauseon City Council voted to authorize immediate safety remediation for a fire‑damaged property on Aki/U Street, noting the Building/Housing/Zoning line item currently has $2,000 and additional funds may be needed. The motion carried unanimously.
The Wauseon City Council on Monday voted to authorize immediate funding to make safe a property that recently experienced a house fire on Aki/U Street, with council members saying the city will begin remediation work pending further cost review.
Council President Stickley moved to authorize the funding; the motion was seconded and the council voted in favor. Staff said the Building/Housing/Zoning budget line currently contains $2,000 for such work and cautioned that the amount “may not be enough” and additional funding could be requested if costs exceed the line-item balance.
Council members stressed the action was to secure the property for public-safety reasons, not to demolish the structure. Council directed staff and the safety-and-code committee to follow up on scope and process, and indicated they would return to the council for any necessary supplemental appropriation.
