Electric City Council orders abatement of two nuisance properties
Summary
The council voted unanimously to abate 105 5th Street and 202 Kelso Street after Code Compliance updates on chronic nuisance properties; motions carried with specified movers and seconders.
The Electric City Council voted May 13 to abate two properties that code compliance identified as chronic nuisances. Code Compliance Officer Tasha Enochs reported that eight properties are at the fining stage and three are at abatement status; the council approved abatement motions for 105 5th Street (M/S Gilbert/Martin) and 202 Kelso Street (M/S Martin/Gilbert), and both motions carried unanimously.
Resident John Avey had urged a stronger step for 105 5th Street during public comment, saying he would like 'to meet the new owners of 105 5th Street. He believes the property should be condemned, not abated.' The council proceeded with abatement rather than condemnation. The council did not specify an abatement timeline in the minutes; follow-up steps were not listed.
