Board discusses nuisance properties, tax delinquency and possible judicial deed for Miller property
Summary
Trustees reviewed nuisance‑property enforcement: a resident has begun fencing an accumulation site, notices will be reissued to a tax‑delinquent Main Street property, and the Board agreed to pursue a potential judicial deed for the Miller property due to unclear heirs.
The Board resumed a longstanding review of nuisance properties at several sites in Village limits. Betsy Welch has begun building a fence around an accumulation and the Board indicated a notice to abate should be sent. For a Main Street property owned by Mark Wickert, ordinance violations and unpaid property taxes were noted; the village could seek ownership but currently lacks funds for demolition, so Attorney Laegeler will send another notice.
The Board discussed the Miller property, where many potential heirs are foster children not legally adopted; Laegeler advised pursuing a judicial deed as a next step and estimated that process would take about three months. Superintendent Gorsuch has started cleanup work at a Hickory Street property.
