Summary
The Altamont City Council approved Resolution 306 to condemn 518 and 520 S Huston; owners said "improvements are being made" and council asked for a 30-day follow-up. Attorney Myers said the deed is valid but probate remains open.
The Altamont City Council voted to approve Resolution 306 regarding condemnation of properties at 518 and 520 S Huston. Councilmember Kyle Wiford moved and Councilmember Colt Booth seconded the motion; the action carried although Councilmember Zachary Sellers objected.
Owners who were present told the council that "improvements are being made" and that they have contacted legal counsel because the deed is tied up in probate. Attorney Myers told the council the deed is valid and that the probate process needs to finish before title formally transfers to an heir. The council asked the owner or heir to return in 30 days with evidence of follow-through on the cleanup and repairs. No vote tally beyond "motion carried" was recorded in the transcript.
