Council denies another extension for cleanup of Aaron Towns' properties
Summary
The Palco City Council denied a request for a further 30-day extension to clean up properties owned by Aaron Towns, noting multiple prior extensions and directing the city to arrange the cleanup. The request was presented in person by Samantha Brown and the motion to deny carried unanimously in the vote taken with available members.
The City of Palco Council denied a request to grant an additional 30-day extension for cleanup of properties owned by Aaron Towns. Samantha Brown spoke on Towns' behalf after arriving during the executive session and asked the council to delay enforcement, but members noted that Towns had already received multiple extensions and reported no significant progress toward remediation.
Joan Underhill moved to deny the requested extension and Don Steeples seconded; the motion carried, with the minutes recording the initial denial vote as 4-0 and the later related discussion after Samantha Brown's arrival leading to the reaffirmation of the denial. The council directed the city to proceed with arranging the cleanup rather than granting more time. The record does not specify an enforcement deadline or contractor; follow-up on timing and cost was not provided at the meeting.
