Mayor says owner will sign over 207 S 7th; burned house at 518 N 11th slated for demolition
Summary
City Attorney Andy Carothers emailed an update that the owner of 207 S 7th has engaged an auctioneer to remove contents and will sign the property to the city, and the new owner of 518 N 11th intends to demolish a burned-out house. Mayor Collin Meints relayed the information at the May 1 council meeting.
Mayor Collin Meints told the Wymore City Council that the owner of the dilapidated property at 207 S 7th has contacted an auctioneer to dispose of contents to help pay demolition costs and, "the owner will sign over the property to the City," according to the meeting minutes summarizing an email from City Attorney Andy Carothers.
The minutes also report that the new owner of 518 N 11th plans to demolish the burned-out house at that address. Andy Carothers was not present at the meeting but provided the written update via email, which the mayor summarized for the council.
Council members did not record a formal motion on demolition in the minutes beyond acknowledging the attorney's update; the record states demolition preparations and an owner transfer are underway, and that the contractor (referred to as Tiemann in the minutes) "is ready to go as soon as everything is lined up."
