Tammy Wilking urges community involvement, warns council about crumbling building
Summary
At the April 13 council meeting Tammy Wilking asked residents to join the Heart of Lorenzo group and warned the council that a downtown building has been losing bricks for nearly a year, creating a safety hazard for her customers.
Tammy Wilking, a Lorenzo resident, used the public‑comment period at the City Council meeting on April 13 to urge greater public participation in a community group called Heart of Lorenzo and to press the city to address a deteriorating building near her business.
"I still want to address the city on my own personal thing it's been almost a year now May 7th will be exactly a year and we still have a building crumbling to the ground and I still have my customers for my business are really scared to park because more bricks are falling down," Wilking said. She said an engineer's report had recommended supporting the structure and blocking off the area, and that the protections the city put in place were later removed.
Mayor Lori Landin thanked Wilking for her remarks. The minutes record no follow‑up motion or formal directive from the council during the meeting. Staff reports were received later in the agenda but the record does not show an immediate action to reopen or resecure the site during this session.
The resident's complaint raises a public‑safety issue and a question about enforcement or owner responsibility; the minutes do not specify whether the property is privately owned, the owner's identity, or the current status of the engineer's recommendations.
