Council sends nuisance‑ordinance draft to League of Minnesota Cities, then to city attorney
Summary
The council voted to send the nuisance ordinance draft to the League of Minnesota Cities for recommendations and then to Attorney Troy Gilchrist for legal review; members discussed the possibility of requiring repairs and water reconnection to make properties presentable.
Council Member Mark Conradt moved on June 6 to send the city's nuisance ordinance draft to the League of Minnesota Cities for suggested revisions and, after direction from the council, to Attorney Troy Gilchrist for legal review. Council Woman Bobbie Greenlee seconded the motion and it passed.
Members discussed using the ordinance process to require repairs on properties to make them presentable and whether water service should be required to be hooked up and completed as part of bringing properties into compliance. The minutes reflect the council's intent to seek outside review before directing the city attorney to prepare final ordinances or enforcement steps.
The minutes do not record a public hearing on the subject or specific time lines for attorney review; the item was routed for external input as the next step on the record.
