COMMISSION CONSIDERATION ITEMS.
UPDATE ON 53RD AVENUE PROJECT
City Manager McCauley explained that the 53rd Avenue Project is running a bit behind
schedule on the removal of the houses that have been acquired due to fewer homes being
purchased by movers. Although the homes from an outside visual seem to be candidates to be
moved, once an inside inspection was complete there were homes which had severe code
violations, including hazardous electrical wiring and plumbing, asbestos wrapped furnaces, one
home with the support beam removed causing a sagging ceiling, and one garbage house.
