Consider approval of Ordinance No. 4221-A, an ordinance amending the City of Muskogee Code of Ordinances by repealing Chapter 18, Buildings and Building Regulations, Article II, Registration Certificates and Fees; Permits, Bonds and Insurance, Division 6, Vacant Building Registration, or take other necessary action. (Katrina Bodenhamer)
BACKGROUND:
The state legislature has amended the statutes relating to municipal regulation of vacant and abandoned commercial buildings in a way that conflicts with the City of Muskogee's current ordinances. The proposed ordinance would repeal all current ordinances relating to Vacant Building Registration, and allow the Council to adopt proposed Ordinance No. 4222-A, which is a statutorily compliant version of this section under a new article heading.
