Council asks cost estimates to abate chronic nuisance properties; discusses vacant utility-charge reduction policy
Summary
Records Clerk Tasha Enochs and the city attorney flagged three chronic nuisance properties; the council asked staff to gather cleanup-cost estimates. The council also directed Clerk Peggy Nevsimal to prepare a resolution to automatically reduce sewer charges when water service is turned off at unoccupied residences.
The council on Feb. 11 reviewed lien and abatement status for three chronic nuisance properties with multiple code citations and no apparent cleanup progress. Records Clerk Tasha Enochs and the City Attorney discussed legal recourse; the council asked Clerk Enochs to obtain cost estimates to clean up and abate the properties.
Separately, council discussed a proposed policy to reduce sewer charges automatically for vacant or unoccupied residences when water service is turned off at the owner's or renter's request. Clerk Peggy Nevsimal will present a resolution on the matter at the next council meeting.
The minutes do not list property addresses, estimated clean-up costs, or the text of the proposed sewer-charge resolution; staff follow-up was requested on both items.
