Summary

Jane Langenfeld presented a photo and told the council a Main Street business continues to deteriorate; Mayor Richard Champeny said he would follow up with Ordinance Officer Ken Passow after the meeting.

During public comment, resident Jane Langenfeld said the same Main Street property she raised two years ago is "continuing to deteriorate" and presented a photograph to the council, urging enforcement or remediation.

Mayor Richard Champeny said he would follow up with Ordinance Officer Ken Passow to investigate potential ordinance violations. The mayor's follow-up indicates the issue will move to staff review rather than result in immediate formal council action at the May 21 meeting.

The matter was previously raised and history on the Matt Featherston property (a separate property referenced later in committee minutes) has been provided to the County; an inspection for that other property was scheduled for May 26.
