Consider and take action on Resolution No. 19-30, approving the demolition of property located at 601 4th Street North. (Community Development)

The TCEDC has been assisting the Code Enforcement group to demolish commercial properties.  In the past, we have waited until we have had the court order, but this has caused some delays.  We would like to have the funds approved for the demolitions once the courts have provided the Orders with the date, so that once the date has expired, the City can have the structured without delay and abate the nuisance.  We have several and expect at least two to be demolished by the City and not by the property owner.
This is the first property we would like funds for demolition.  It is estimated at $150,000.  We will place a lien on the property and be reimbursed through the lien. It is the old Funeral Home.  George Fuller will be present to discuss details of the status, etc.
