Staff member outlines demolition process, including 10-day statutory notice and public bidding
Summary
Staff described steps to proceed with a demolition if authorized: issue notice triggering a 10-day statutory waiting period, publish a public notice/advertisement, solicit bids, and return to the meeting after bids are collected; a prior repair order and mortgage-company involvement were noted.
A speaker recommended proceeding with a demolition but noted they did not have enforcement authority to carry it out and that a previous order for repair exists.
The speaker said, "My opinion is go ahead and release the demolition," then clarified, "Well, I can't I can't do it. I'm not the enforcement authority." They explained the procedural steps staff would take if the board authorized demolition: issue the required notice (starting a 10-day waiting period under the applicable statute), place a public advertisement and notice of bids, solicit bids, and return to the meeting after the bids are collected. As described by the speaker: "We'll make sure the proper notification is made, but we'll go ahead and get the notice of bids... They'll have the advertising newspaper. After that's done and we collect the bid, we'll be back."
