Mesick directs staff to draft vacant‑buildings ordinance and pursue blight officer candidate
Summary
Deborah E. Stanton was tasked with drafting an ordinance on vacant buildings and Smith will meet with a potential blight officer; the council recorded these staff directions during the Jan. 14 meeting.
The Village of Mesick council directed staff to prepare an ordinance addressing vacant buildings and to explore blight‑enforcement capacity.
The minutes state that "STANTON WILL WORK ON AN ORDINANCE FOR VACANT BUILDINGS" and that "SMITH WILL MEET WITH A POTIENTIAL BLIGHT OFFICER." The record does not include draft language, a hiring decision, or funding for enforcement; both items were recorded as staff follow‑up tasks.
Those items suggest the council is preparing to strengthen property code enforcement, but the minutes do not identify a timeline, budget, or ordinance specifics. The council will need to consider draft ordinance language and any personnel or budget requirements in a future meeting.
