Slide Presentation ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Summary: The Dangerous Buildings Board of Inspections on February 12, 1990, made a presentation to City Council regarding thirteen (13) substandard buildings. At the close of this presentation, the Board requested and received authorization from Council to proceed with a condemnation hearing for each of the structures being considered. structures are condemned by passage of an ordinance. A separate ordinance is required for each structure being condemned. The purpose of the condemnation hearing, which is required by Dangerous Building Ordinance 1145, is to allow owners of the building being considered, owners of neighboring property and other concerned citizens to present arguments as to why buildings should or should not be condemned and demolished. At the close of the condemnation hearing, council will consider passage of each of the thirteen (13) condemnation ordinances. Numbers have not yet been assigned so as to avoid future confusion with the ordinance numbering sequence should all of these ordinances not be approved. The City Secretary will assign numbers as ordinances are being considered for approval. Options: At close of Public Hearing: 1) Pass ordinance condemning building (each building to be considered separately). 2) Table ordinance for 120 days to allow owner time to make required repairs. 3) Vote against ordinance passage. Failure to pass or table ordinance effectively ends proceedings against a building. Action Required by Council: 1. Hold condemnation (public) hearing to receive public input regarding buildings being considered. 2. At close of hearing consider whether or not to condemn each structure by calling for a vote to consider approval of each condemnation ordinance. ================================================================ Approved for City Council Agenda: ~~ Robert T, Herrera ') \,b1) Date
