Council approves minutes, sun-shines ordinances and discusses demo rules and a small property offer
Summary
Council approved the minutes, sun-shined several ordinances (including police vehicle disposal), changed a Public Utilities Committee date, discussed demolition-cost collection and the city’s option to purchase a small property with an unreleased mortgage for $185, and directed staff to research fire-insurance requirements for buildings.
Council approved the Feb. 16 minutes by roll call, and several procedural items were noted: Mr. Mayo sun-shined an ordinance amending collection of demolition costs (Property Maintenance Code Section 111.3), Ms. Hoover sun-shined an ordinance authorizing the Police Chief to dispose of four police vehicles, and the Public Utilities Committee meeting was moved to March 10 at 6:00 p.m.
Mr. Albaugh asked whether the city requires property owners to maintain fire insurance; Law Director Costa Mastros said he was not aware of any municipal mandate and would research the matter. Council also discussed a small parcel (the "moose property") that could be acquired for $185; Mastros said the primary risk to the city appears to be the purchase price and that he would attempt to obtain any unreleased mortgage release from the bank.
The meeting included administrative updates from City Manager Jim Mavromatis about ongoing ordinance drafting related to parking enforcement and a notice that he will meet with ODNR regarding a Beatty Park project while attending the OCMA conference.
