Bonduel RDA hears draft of vacant building ordinance; discussion tabled for next meeting
Summary
Jesse Rankin reported he is working with the Village Attorney on a Vacant Building Ordinance that would require a fee for an inspection or registration rather than a penalty-based fine; the RDA agreed to table the item for further work at a later meeting.
Jesse Rankin told the Redevelopment Authority he is collaborating with the Village Attorney on a draft Vacant Building Ordinance that would change how vacant properties are managed in Bonduel. Rankin explained the proposed approach would not fine owners for vacancy but would require owners to pay a fee for a utility inspection and/or a registration fee to the Village. Rankin presented this as a compliance and oversight measure rather than a punitive one.
The Authority discussed the concept but did not act on the draft ordinance at the May 13 meeting; members agreed by consensus to move the item to a future meeting for additional review and legal consultation. No text of the proposed ordinance or fee amounts was presented at the meeting.
