Owner says squatters evicted at 202 Kelso Ave; neighbors press council for swift cleanup
Summary
At public comment the new owner of 202 Kelso Ave said he has served eviction notices on squatters and plans to board up the property; nearby homeowners asked the council to coordinate with code compliance and law enforcement so cleanup happens promptly.
Property owner Jared Rang addressed the council during public comment to report he is in the process of evicting squatters from 202 Kelso Ave and intends to board up the house once the occupants are removed.
Neighbors Carl and Kathy Pike and Clay Hearne told the council they are encouraged that the adjacent chronic nuisance property will be cleaned up and urged the city to work with the new owner, code compliance and law enforcement to expedite the process. The minutes indicate code compliance staff are already coordinating with the new owner; the city reported three residential properties remain at the fining stage for code violations.
Council members took the comments under advisement and did not take separate action beyond noting that code compliance is engaging with the new owner; the Pikes said they hoped cleanup would proceed quickly.
