Numerous attempts were to contact the property owner, but were unsuccessful. <br /> <br />In 2024, the Council authorized staff to proceed with an Eminent Domain proceeding to acquire the property, <br />demolish the hazardous structures, and sell it as a developable residential parcel. During those proceedings, <br />the city was contacted by two heirs of the previous property owner. They have since filed a successful <br />probate matter and are now the estate's personal representatives. The city will no longer seek to acquire the <br />property through eminent domain. <br /> <br />With the ownership question answered, staff asks the Council to adopt a resolution formally ordering the <br />removal or repair of the hazardous conditions on the property. We will continue to work with the heirs and <br />their representatives to bring the property into compliance. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Legal fees will be assessed to the property in accordance with state and local regulations. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Improve citizen quality of life. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />1.
