Stonington pursues Vine Street property via back taxes; trustees consider no-trespass signs and demolition cleanup
Summary
The Village is acquiring a Vine Street parcel through back taxes and the board discussed posting 'No Trespassing' signs, locating additional houses for removal and providing dumpsters for cleanup; Officer Manager Kari Scott said taxes on the property have been paid.
Trustee Andrew Callan inquired about the Vine Street property and President Bruce Dowdy said the Village is in the process of purchasing it through back taxes. Officer Manager Kari Scott reported the required payment has already been made, and Dowdy suggested posting 'No Trespassing' signs on the parcel to discourage unauthorized access.
Dowdy also proposed identifying another house or two for removal and providing dumpsters to support cleanup efforts. The minutes do not record a formal motion or funding source for demolition or cleanup; the discussion was recorded as part of President's Report for future follow-up.
