Harvey council reviews nuisance abatement, park repairs and utility reports; no action taken on infrastructure items
Summary
Council members discussed nuisance abatement steps and scheduled a court date for 101 Cinder Ave, reviewed water/sewer and street reports, and heard park staff present options for basketball court repair; no binding action was taken on these operational items.
At the April 13, 2026 meeting, Mayor Kelly Cooper and council members reviewed several operational reports and local-service items. The council heard a water and sewer report and a street report; no formal action was taken on either report.
The park report included discussion of options for repairing the community basketball court; the council discussed repair alternatives but did not vote on a specific repair contract or funding source during the meeting. The council also discussed nuisance abatement matters: a court date has been scheduled for 101 Cinder Ave, and Mayor Kelly Cooper asked the council to evaluate nuisance properties with the intent to send letters where appropriate.
Council members also discussed community event inquiries, including interest from the Dutch Masters Auto Club in holding a short car show in Harvey on an undecided Saturday, and reviewed potential new locations for the garbage bill payment drop box. These items were discussed for direction and follow-up rather than immediate decisions.
Next steps: council members are to evaluate nuisance properties for potential letters and staff will return with options for basketball court repairs and logistics for a drop-box relocation; no votes were recorded on those follow-ups at the April 13 meeting.
