Summary

Council adopted a resolution accepting acquisition of an abandoned and unsafe property at 1111 3rd Street; staff said the structure is beyond repair and the acceptance is a formal step in city cleanup or redevelopment actions.

City staff presented a resolution to accept acquisition of a property generally located at 1111 3rd Street that had been deemed abandoned and unsafe; staff said inspections showed the structure to be far past repair and that accepting the property was a formality needed to proceed with remediation. "So this property was deemed abandoned and unsafe...it is pretty, pretty far past it," the presenter said.

Council moved and approved the resolution by voice vote. Staff later noted related property work in the pipeline and that the city has been managing several similar cases; next steps typically include legal procedures to clear title or prepare the site for demolition or rehabilitation per municipal nuisance-abatement processes.
