Public hearing on abatement for 725 First Street SW postponed for re-notice
Summary
A scheduled public hearing on abatement for a house at 725 First Street SW (also referenced as MLK) could not proceed because of noticing/address discrepancies; council said the item will be re-noticed and run in the paper for a future meeting.
A public hearing on abatement of the property at 725 First Street SW (also referred to in discussion as MLK) was postponed because of questions about proper notice and property-address listings.
Council members said the administrative tax or mapping records showed a different street name and that statute requires strict compliance with notice rules. The presiding official said the hearing will be re-noticed and run in the paper before it is taken up again. “So this will come up on a future agenda,” the presiding speaker said during the discussion. No testimony for or against the abatement was taken at this meeting because the council determined it could not address the matter tonight.
