On the agenda next was to consider A RESOLUTION DECLARING A STRUCTURE TO BE A NUISANCE
AND DECLARING CONDEMNATION. The Clerk read the Resolution in its entirety. The Mayor asked if there
was any discussion. The owner agreed the structure should be torn down. The owner said the City had done
improvements on the ditch in that area and the Core of Engineers supposedly gave the City money to buy the
property in that area. The Owner said he thought it best at that time not to spend any more money on the house and
now it was beyond repair. The owner said he had visited with the Mayor about the purchase of the property and was
told that the City had the option with the matching funds to purchase the property or to work on ditch improvements.
The Mayor said that was in 1996. The owner said when they put in the four foot wall, the water had nowhere to go
but stand in his yard. Alderman Swaim said he was in favor of passing the Resolution to condemn the house or for
the City to tear it down. He said then the City could follow the procedures for having it torn down and cleaned up
and allow the owner to pay it out or to file a lien against the property. The Mayor said that they have to file a lien on
the property and then the owner could pay it out. The City Attorney said they would put a lien on the property and
have to sue the owner for payment. The owner of the property said no one is going to buy the house because it
floods in that area. Alderman Swaim seconded by Alderman Parker moved that the Resolution be adopted. The
question was put by Mayor Riggs on the adoption of the motion and the roll being called, the following voted aye:
Alderman Swaim, Parker, Moore, Dodd, Spoon and Barker. And the following voted nay: none.
The Mayor thereupon declared the Resolution adopted and signed the Resolution, which was attested by the
Deputy City Clerk and impressed with the seal of the City.
