Olive Branch board directs staff to clean two properties declared public nuisances
Summary
Following a public hearing, the Board of Aldermen declared two privately owned lots a menace to public health and safety (properties owned by Shanica Washington and Olive Branch MFG Corporation) and directed city staff or contractors to clean those properties; several other properties were reported as cleaned prior to the meeting.
During a public hearing on nuisance properties, city staff asked the board to consider six properties that allegedly posed threats to public health and safety. Staff reported that several properties had been cleaned since the staff report, but requested action on two remaining lots listed on lease B that staff said had not been attended to: properties associated with Shanica Washington and Olive Branch MFG Corporation.
The public comment period produced no speakers. Alderman Earhart moved to direct staff to clean the list-B properties and the motion was seconded and carried. Mayor Kenneth R. Adams noted that properties on list A met expectations and required no board action.
Staff cited specific addresses in the packet and during the presentation, and the board instructed staff to proceed with cleanup using city resources or contracted labor as appropriate. The board did not announce a detailed timetable or cost estimate during the meeting.
