Review Abatement Procedure for Nuisance Properties The Mayor reviewed the process of managing the problem properties which cause neighborhood concerns and impact property value. This involves notifying owners, issuing fines, and obtaining court orders (if necessary) which allow the City to clean up properties. The cleanup costs (about $10,000 per incident) are billed to property owners and added to tax bills if unpaid; however, collection delay and risk exists. He is seeking direction on funding and policy for repeated nuisance abatement as there is a concern about unbudgeted expenses. Following discussion of the Committee, it was agreed that detailed discussions of individual cases would take place during Closed Sessions at Common Council meetings.
