Council tables decision on donation of 923 Edison Ave pending inspection and tax review
Summary
An executor offered to transfer 923 Edison Ave to the city; council discussed demolition risk (estimate ~$15,000–$18,000), taxes, and options, and voted to table action until staff can inspect and report back.
Council discussed an offer from an executor to donate a property at 923 Edison Avenue to the city. Members raised concerns about the structure's condition and potential costs to demolish or remediate the site.
Council discussed possible next steps: accept the property and remedy it, sell or auction it, or decline the offer. Estimates mentioned during discussion put demolition/repair costs in the roughly $15,000–$18,000 range. Council asked staff to attempt to obtain keys, inspect the property, review tax and sewer status, and prepare a full report for the next meeting. The motion to take immediate action was tabled pending those follow-up steps.
Council did not take ownership or commit funds at the meeting; staff will return with an inspection-based recommendation before any final acceptance.
