City attorney urges renewed abatement actions; council holds executive session with no action taken
Summary
City Attorney Rachelle Norberg recommended restarting abatement procedures for structures with expired 2024 and 2025 letters; the council instructed Code Enforcement and Norberg to proceed and later held an executive session on legal and personnel matters from which it took no action.
City Attorney Rachelle Norberg told the council that too much time had elapsed since prior abatement letters issued in 2024 and 2025 and recommended that Code Enforcement reinitiate abatement actions; she said she would follow up with court orders from a judge as needed.
