Chair announces rescheduled demolition-cost hearing for 13 1st Street after new tax-sale purchaser identified
Summary
The Albertville City Council announced that the hearing to set the demolition cost for 13 1st Street was postponed after staff identified a new purchaser in a tax sale and said that party must be notified before the council proceeds.
The Chair opened the meeting and announced that the hearing to fix the cost of demolition for 13 1st Street has been rescheduled to a future meeting after a newly identified purchaser in a tax sale must be given an opportunity to attend.
A staff member explained the reason for the delay: “On that one, you only notify the people who have some sort of interest in the property,” the staff member said, adding that an earlier tax-sale buyer dropped out and “somebody else picked the tax sale up.” The staff member said they will try to locate the new purchaser and send a letter to notify them before the council moves forward.
Council members agreed to hold the item until staff can confirm contact. The staff member said it will likely be a couple of weeks or placed on the next council meeting once the new purchaser is contacted. No formal vote on the demolition cost was recorded in the transcript.
The next procedural step recorded in the meeting was for staff to notify the newly identified purchaser and then return the item to a future council agenda.
