Ordinance Finding Certain Buildings And/Or Structures To Be
Dangerous; Requiring Property Owners To Demolish Said Buildings
And/Or Structures Within 30 Days Of The Date Of This Ordinance; And
Declaring An Emergency and Immediate Effective Date
Moved by Councilor Ammons that Ordinance No. 16-2011 be passed.
Motion seconded by Councilor Smith.
Moved by Mayor Barham that Ordinance No. 16-2011 be amended to allow the
218
Item 8b continued
following properties 30 days to obtain a permit and 90 days for substantial completion, for a
total of 120 days.
Item 2. 2705 Ridgeway Drive
Item 8. 711 Jalonick Street
Item 12. 1302 21 st Street.
Item 15. 1311 Giddings Street
Item 16. 1510 Giddings Street
Item 17. 1512 Giddings Street
Motion seconded by Councilor Ammons and carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Barham, Councilors Ammons, Smith, Roberts-Burns, Hatcher, Ingle, and
Ward
Moved by Councilor Smith to amend Ordinance 16-2011 be amended by requiring that
property owners pay all taxes before a building permit is issued.
Motion seconded by Councilor Robert-Bums
David Brock, 320 Hilltop, stated that this would negate the ability for property owners to
work out a tax payment plan with the Tax Assessor Collector. If you require them to have all the
money for the taxes before they can pull a permit you will negate their ability to finance repairs. If
they are making payments on the taxes they can make the repairs and they would stay on the tax
rolls bringing in revenue. It is in the best interest of the City for them to rehab the structures.
Moved by Councilor Smith to modify his amendment to include the stipulation that taxes be
paid or a payment plan be established to pay the taxes.
Motion seconded by Councilor Roberts-Bums.
Councilor Ingle felt we were getting into murky water making them pay taxes when we do
not have the authority to make them pay taxes.
Motion carried by the following vote.
Ayes: Mayor Barham, Councilors Ammons, Smith, Roberts-Burns, Hatcher, , and
Ward
Nays: Councilor Ingle
