Mapleton staff to draft $100-per-day fine letter for downtown property violations
Summary
Village staff will draft letters proposing a $100-per-day fine and abatement actions for two problematic downtown properties after trustees discussed enforcement options including notices to appear, daily fines, court orders and liens. Trustees voted to proceed with staff-generated letters.
Village staff and trustees discussed enforcement options for two problem properties downtown, including notice to appear, one-time or daily fines, court orders to abate nuisances, liens on property and assigning employees to clean properties if insurance permitted. Lane Alster was asked to generate a letter proposing a fine of "$100.00 a day" and a separate abatement letter; trustees indicated support by saying 'all in favor.'
Trustee Terri Baker urged the board to take a stand and follow through, and the board discussed taking photographic evidence of exterior conditions for court proceedings and whether the railroad had been notified about vehicles parked on railroad property.
