City Clerk Jodi Wade presented an application and background materials for demolition of the structure at 602 E. Market and told the council that the city’s code lacked detailed guidance on demolition procedures and contractor specifications.
Clerk Wade reviewed the property’s nonconforming status and stated that any new construction on the lot would have to meet current regulations.

Public Works Director Dan Nasalroad emphasized the need to include sewer-capping in demolition instructions. The council asked the city attorney and staff to draft demolition guidance and clarify code language before selecting a contractor.
