Council hears that courts cleared way for demolition of boulevard property; city to move forward
Summary
City staff and counsel told the council that courts have ruled in the city's favor in pending litigation involving a property at 1519 Goodyear Boulevard and indicated the city will proceed with demolition steps authorized by the court.
Council members received an update Nov. 4 on litigation and a planned demolition at an address on the boulevard. City staff and counsel said courts had ruled in the city's favor and that the administration is preparing to act on the court's decision.
An administration representative told the council the courts "have signed in their favor" and asked counsel to step forward to explain next steps for moving the property demolition process forward. Staff provided the address of record as 1519 Goodyear Boulevard and offered an on‑the‑record estimate of structure sizes on the parcel to assist council and staff planning; the council approved moving forward with removal of the item from the public agenda while the matter is prepared for closed session discussion.
Council did not vote in open session on a demolition order; instead staff and counsel indicated further procedural steps and a closed session discussion on litigation would follow.
The council's discussion was limited to procedure and status; no demolition contract, timeline or funding specifics were provided in open session.
