Dellwood officials seek county deed transfer for 1511 South Dellwood to abate nuisance property
Summary
Clerk read ordinance BL2026-01 requesting St. Louis County transfer the deed for 1511 South Dellwood (locator 11H341044) to the city to allow demolition and nuisance abatement; the item was presented as a first reading and a second reading was moved.
Council members introduced ordinance BL2026-01, which requests the St. Louis County Director of Revenue transfer title to property identified as 1511 South Dellwood (locator number 11H341044) to the City of Dellwood for abatement of a nuisance and potential demolition.
Clerk (speaker 2) read the ordinance language aloud as a first reading, describing the transfer request and the property locator. The mayor asked for a motion for a second reading; a motion was made and seconded. The clerk again summarized the ordinance purpose: to obtain the property so the city can abate the nuisance condition and demolish the structure if necessary.
Why it matters: The transfer would allow the city to move forward with abatement actions against a property described by staff as "not in great shape," addressing public-safety and neighborhood-quality concerns. The ordinance as recorded in the transcript is at first reading; the transcript does not include final adoption or a recorded roll-call vote for this item.
Next steps: The ordinance was moved for second reading during the meeting; the transcript does not record a final vote or effective date. Council and staff may return the ordinance for further consideration and a formal vote at a subsequent meeting.
