Attorney: Leonard Road property has lien; village weighs options including condemnation
Summary
Village Attorney Jim Stevens reported a lien of $1,004.66 for mowing and attorney fees on a Leonard Road property owned by Shawn Warren (mortgage $38,000); trustees discussed sending letters, cheaper remediation and county condemnation as options.
Village Attorney Jim Stevens told trustees that the Leonard Road property is owned by Shawn Warren and that a mortgage of $38,000 is recorded; the village currently has a lien of $1,004.66 for mowing and attorney fees related to code enforcement. Jim said the mowing cost exceeded $500 and that the village has previously sent two letters requesting remedies.
Trustees discussed alternatives, including asking a county agency to condemn the property or contracting a local resource (Greg) to perform the work more cheaply. Jim said the village could send another letter to encourage the owner to comply. No formal motion to pursue condemnation or additional enforcement was recorded; Jim will continue follow-up and report back.
