Board presses to clear and secure 238 Columbia before RFP site visit
Summary
Board members urged clearing debris, posting signage and considering temporary fencing or towing notices before the Aug. 10 site visit to address potential hazards, including possible oil leaks and leftover vehicles.
Board members raised safety and liability concerns about the condition of 238 Columbia ahead of the planned site visit. Chair (S3) said the property should be cleaned and have signage or temporary fencing, and suggested coordinating with HPD about towing or warnings so visitors are not exposed to hazards.
S3 warned there could be environmental or safety problems: “I think before we do any site visits, I think we need to get removed and signs up because otherwise, we don't know what's leaking or whatever, and that might be an issue.” The board asked staff to contact the property owner and local enforcement to arrange removal of vehicles and debris and to consider a snow-fence or other temporary barrier prior to the site visit.
The board did not require a separate vote to direct cleanup, but S1 and others agreed to reach out to the property owner and to follow up with HPD about towing or warnings. Staff will report back on whether the site has been secured before the visit.
