Council approves ordinance letters and legal notices to address substandard buildings
Summary
Calvert City Council voted unanimously to send an ordinance-information letter to all property owners and to issue code-enforcement and legal-action letters to owners of substandard or dangerous buildings within city limits, directing staff to begin notification and enforcement steps.
Mayor Layla Wright presided over a unanimous council vote to notify property owners about upcoming code enforcement activity and to authorize legal notices for substandard or dangerous buildings. Councilmember D. Grimes moved to send an ordinance-information letter to all property owners and residents; Councilmember A. Wiese seconded. The minutes record the motion passing 5-0.
Councilmembers discussed formalizing the notice process so property owners receive an ordinance information letter before enforcement actions begin. The council separately approved sending code-enforcement and legal-action letters to owners of substandard or dangerous properties within the city boundaries; that motion was also recorded as passing 5-0. The minutes do not specify timelines or the exact legal steps staff will take, only that the council authorized the notifications and legal correspondence.
