Wilcox trustees set March 4 court date for 305 E. Franklin lien, order removal letter for 209 N. Briggs
Summary
At their Feb. 11 meeting the Village of Wilcox Board of Trustees set a March 4, 2025 court date to determine a lien on 305 E. Franklin St. and directed staff to send a removal letter to owners of 209 N. Briggs about two dilapidated buildings.
The Village of Wilcox Board of Trustees set a court date for March 4, 2025 to determine the lien amount to be assessed against 305 E. Franklin St., a property the board identified as delinquent.
Resident D. Fecht raised the matter during the Feb. 11 meeting; the board confirmed the scheduled court date and discussed next steps for enforcing the lien. The minutes do not record the amount of the lien or further court instructions.
The board also directed that a letter be sent to the owners of 209 N. Briggs ordering removal of two dilapidated buildings on that property. The minutes record the board’s instruction but do not specify timelines for removal or enforcement penalties.
Board members discussed whether the southernmost portion of South Main St. has ever been dedicated as a public street and said more legal description is required before drafting a resolution. The board said it will schedule a special meeting once the legal description and a draft resolution are available.
The board took no recorded formal vote specific to nuisance enforcement beyond setting the court date and instructing the clerk to send the letter. The next procedural step is the March 4 court proceeding for 305 E. Franklin; the board plans a special meeting to address the South Main St. dedication after legal details are assembled.
