Nuisance abatement procedure on hold for Falls City house

(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council took no action on a resolution authorizing the City to abate a nuisance home at 2015 Stone Street when they met Monday evening.

Assistant City Attorney Tracy Burns said the City has received numerous complaints about the property owned by Carol Hamilton and had notified her several times about the issue. Burns said there are holes in the roof of the house and that litter is beginning to accumulate in the yard. She said both the City Attorney's office and the Falls City Police Department are receiving complaints from neighbors.

Hamilton said plans to make repairs fell through last fall, but that she now has a new company to do the work. She told the Council she expects the work to begin in the next couple of weeks.

Burns agreed to wait until the end of May to see if any progress has been made on the repair work before she proceeds with the resolution to abate the nuisance.

In other business the Council approved replacing the office furnace and AC unit in the Fire Department building at a cost of $11,780.

Council members also approved a request from Librarian Hope Schawang to split up the approved part-time worker hours amounting to 20 – 25 hours per week between two people rather than just one.
