Falls City Water Tower
(KLZA)-- Falls City Council members present for the January 16th meeting unanimously approved razing two properties included on the Nuisance Properties list.
City Administrator Gary Jorn noted the City is responsible for making sure these unsafe structures are repaired or demolished.
Jorn provided a list of five properties to the Council, notified by letter to repair the structures or demolish them. None of them have responded.
$19,500 was included in the current fiscal year budget to use to raze structures. Jorn asked the Council to approve using these funds to tear down homes at at 2023 McLean Street and at 923 Fulton Street. Both homes were previously damaged by fire.
In addition, Jorn suggested the Budget Committee take a hard look at how much money can be placed into a fund for more such projects.
It is estimated it will cost 10-15 thousand dollars to demo a property.
The other properties on the list are 1102 Barada Street, 820 McLean and 1701 Schoenheit.
