Nuisance Property at 301 West Pearl Discussion Leads to Tabling and Bond Requirement
The council discussed a resolution to declare a building/structure at 301 West Pearl a nuisance. The property is owned by the heirs of Stanley E. McDaniel. Tracy Rogers, representing Josh Boyd (a grandson and heir), explained they are in the process of amending a small estate claim to include the property and are working on cleanup and obtaining necessary permits (electrical, plumbing, HVAC). The property is actually two parcels, 301 and 303 West Pearl, with the original house on 303 having been gone for about 25 years. The structure on 301 is described as sound, with issues being mostly cosmetic and low-cost to fix. The council considered tabling the resolution to allow the owners time to secure permits and post a $4,000 bond as a guarantee against demolition, with the next discussion set for the August 24th meeting. They also discussed the process of obtaining deeds and filing them to reflect ownership by Joshua Boyd.
City to Place Liens on Ten Properties for Unpaid Mowing Services
The City Council passed a resolution to attach liens to ten properties for the collection of monies owed to the city for mowing services, in accordance with Chapter 18 of the city's code of ordinances. The amounts owed range from $149.18 to $281.86, with the total owed across the ten properties being $1,765.03. This process is described as 'business as usual' during the summer months when properties are mowed due to neglect. The liens will be added to the properties' tax bills.
City Approves Master Services Agreement with Michael Baker for Kirkfield Airport
The City Council approved a master services agreement with Michael Baker International Inc. for technical and mechanical services at Kirkfield Airport. This agreement follows Grimes Engineering's process of selling to Michael Baker, with Joey Wallace, the Grimes representative, staying on for about a year to assist with the transition. The city sought proposals through an RFQ for these services and reviewed three submissions. The agreement is essential for ongoing airport operations and grant cycles, as Michael Baker representatives, including Joey Wallace, have already attended FAA grant cycle meetings and secured grants for capital improvements. The council expressed satisfaction with Grimes Engineering's past performance and support in securing grants and managing reimbursements.
