Saint Paul council enacts dumping ban and unsafe-building removal ordinance
Summary
On Feb. 4 the Saint Paul Town Council enacted Ordinance 2025-1 (prohibiting dumping of solid waste) and Ordinance 2025-2 (removal of unsafe buildings). Both carried on second reading with unanimous recorded support; public comment was opened before votes.
The Saint Paul Town Council on Feb. 4 completed second readings and enacted two ordinances: Ordinance 2025-1, prohibiting dumping of solid waste, and Ordinance 2025-2, addressing removal of unsafe buildings within the town.
Council member Timothy Ray moved to pass Ordinance 2025-1 as read; Council members Kim Livingston and Joshua Sangl seconded and the motion carried. The council then conducted a second reading of Ordinance 2025-2, 'Removal of Unsafe Buildings Within the Town of Saint Paul, Indiana.' Timothy Ray moved to pass as read; Kim Livingston and Joshua Sangl seconded and the motion carried.
The minutes record that comments were opened to council and the public before each vote. The enacted ordinances give the town clearer enforcement authority over illegal dumping and provide a process for removal of structures judged unsafe under the town's ordinance language. The minutes do not list penalties, inspection procedures, or implementation timetables; those details were not specified.
