Council affirms nuisance at 203 NW 9th, advances nuisance-code update to first reading
Summary
The Eagle Grove City Council confirmed a nuisance at 203 NW 9th, approved multiple administrative abatements and cleanup estimates, adopted an assessment schedule, and approved the first reading of Ordinance 2026-02 to revise Chapter 50 on nuisances; second and third readings were not waived.
Mayor Boyd called the May 18 meeting of the Eagle Grove City Council to order at 6:00 p.m., where the council addressed a sequence of nuisance enforcement items and a proposed municipal-code change.
Code Enforcement Valentine presented the nuisance abatement appeal for 203 NW 9th. After the hearing (opened at 6:04 p.m. and closed at 6:07 p.m.), Council Member Axtell moved and Council Member Pamperin seconded to approve Resolution 2026-26, confirming that a nuisance exists at 203 NW 9th and granting the property owner 30 additional days to comply. The motion passed on a roll-call vote of five ayes.
The council approved administrative cleanup estimates and administrative abatement for 513 NE 5th, 203 NW 9th and 200 S Blaine by individual motions (each approved by roll call). The council tabled the cleanup estimate for 203 NW 10th and extended administrative abatement authority for that property until July 2, 2026.
Council then approved Resolution 2026-27, adopting the Assessment Schedule dated May 18, 2026 (roll call: all ayes). The body also took up Ordinance 2026-02, an ordinance amending Chapter 50 of the Eagle Grove Municipal Code pertaining to nuisances and collection of costs. The council approved the ordinance’s first reading by roll call; members did not waive the second and third readings, so additional readings and a future vote remain required before adoption.
The meeting record indicates these actions were procedural and enforcement measures; no additional substantive debate or amendments to Ordinance 2026-02 were reported during the session. The council’s decisions give affected property owners specified compliance timelines and establish the assessment schedule the city will use to recover cleanup costs.
