Payton estate unresolved; council may pursue condemnation if no estate opened
Summary
The clerk reported the county found no estate opened for the late Patrick Payton; Superintendent Adam Kocinski will contact Alex Payton and the council directed that, if no estate is opened in a reasonable timeframe, the clerk should begin condemnation and dangerous-structure procedures.
Council reviewed the status of the property at 512 4th Street (the former Payton house), which was previously agreed to be conveyed to the city. The clerk told the council she contacted the County Attorney, who said no estate has been opened for Patrick Payton by any party.
The council directed Superintendent Adam Kocinski to contact Alex Payton to determine whether an estate will be opened. Minutes state that if an estate is not opened within a reasonable timeframe, the clerk should proceed with condemnation and dangerous-structure procedures under city rules.
No specific deadlines or dates for condemnation were recorded in the minutes; the council asked staff to follow up.
