Prosecutor reports enforcement steps on nuisance violations; one case may face criminal charges
Summary
Town prosecutor reported Higginbotham has not responded to a Notice and Order to Correct and will have an upcoming court hearing; Adcox agreed to pay $250 and was given 60 days to clean up, with a 45-day check-in and the warning that criminal charges will be filed if compliance does not occur.
During unfinished business the town prosecutor updated the council on two nuisance cases. The court is still awaiting a response from the owner at 604 Madison (Higginbotham) and a hearing is pending. For the property at 608 Washington (Adcox), the owner appeared on March 30 and agreed to pay $250; the prosecutor advised giving 60 days to complete cleanup with a 45-day check-in and warned that "he will file criminal charges against him if nothing is done." The council recorded these enforcement steps and the prosecutor's recommendation.
The transcript records the prosecutor’s recommended timeline and potential criminal referral if Adcox fails to comply; no additional council motions were recorded beyond accepting the prosecutor's update and scheduling a check-in as described.
The record does not specify the full nature of the nuisance violations or the exact court dates; follow-up monitoring was assigned to the prosecuting authority per the minutes.
