Summary

City staff said property owners must demolish and clear a burn house by Feb. 19 or the city will activate legal enforcement starting Feb. 20.

City staff told the council that property owners have until Feb. 19 to demolish and clear a burned structure; after that date the city will pursue legal action.

"The deadline for demo and clearance is February 19," a staff member said. "On the twentieth, if it's not done and they understand that I am waiting for this day, I will move on to activate legal, and we'll move to the next step." The staff member said the burned structure passed inspection in a manner that may allow a slab to remain if the owner plans to rebuild.

Council discussion noted there is no authority to act on the property until the deadline passes; staff reiterated the timeline and said they will proceed with legal enforcement after Feb. 19 if the owner does not comply.

No formal enforcement action was recorded in the transcript during the meeting; staff characterized the Feb. 19 date as the city’s deadline before legal steps commence.
