Minong board votes to remove dog kennel and playground bleachers over code concerns
Summary
The Town of Minong voted unanimously April 13 to remove a dog kennel and bleachers behind a playset after board members said they are not up to code; the board did not specify removal timing or disposal method and a resident asked for clarification during public comments.
The Town of Minong Board on April 13 approved a unanimous motion to remove a dog kennel and bleachers behind a playground, after board members said the structures did not meet code.
Board member Dean Patrick raised the issue, saying the bleachers behind the playset "are not up to code." James Smith moved to remove both structures; Christine Holland seconded the motion, which passed with all voting in favor.
A resident, Steve Dahlby, asked during citizens' comments what "dispose of" would mean in practice for the bleachers and the shed. The board did not record further detail on the timing, salvage or disposal method for the removed structures at the April 13 meeting.
The motion addressed safety and code compliance but did not specify whether the town would contract removal, seek bids, offer salvage to the public, or classify the disposal as surplus property. Board members discussed related town hall shed clean‑up and property maintenance items elsewhere in the meeting but made no additional motion tying those projects to the bleacher and kennel removal.
The board approved the motion and continued other building and grounds discussions, including soliciting quotes for shed sale value and interior hall flooring and painting.
