Summary

Council voted unanimously to direct staff to explore possible foreclosure on three properties with abatement liens (217 Pima St., 303 Apache St., 103 Tomahawk) after the Town spent about $16,000 on remediation at one property.

Mayor Johann R. Wallace said the Town has repeatedly spent money remediating hazardous conditions on properties and asked whether foreclosure on abatement liens could reimburse the Town. Town Attorney Thomas Benavidez described the process as complicated and potentially costly and said the Town has spent approximately $16,000 on remediation at 217 Pima Street.

Council voted unanimously to direct staff to explore foreclosure on liens at 217 Pima St., 303 Apache St., and 103 Tomahawk. Benavidez noted the properties may not be worth the costs of foreclosure in some cases, but the Council asked staff to investigate value, cost and process before returning with recommendations.
