City Engineer Damon Johnson addressed the council with his monthly report. <br /> Mr. Johnson said he had nothing new to report from the last meeting. All <br /> departments were running well. <br /> C) PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER CONDEMNATION OF CERTAIN <br /> PROPERTIES <br /> Mayor Elumbaugh opened the floor at 5:41 PM for a public hearing regarding the <br /> condemnation of certain properties in the city limits of Batesville. There being no <br /> one in the audience requesting to speak, the public hearing was closed at <br /> 5:42PM. <br /> D) CONSIDER A RESOLUTION TO CONDEMN PROPERTY AT 151 WEST MAIN <br /> STREET <br /> Councilmember Fredricks introduced a resolution to condemn the structure <br /> located at 151 West Main Street. Councilmember Matthews moved to read the <br /> resolution by title only. Councilmember Fredricks seconded and the electronic <br /> roll count was 7 for and 0 against. Mr. Meitzen read the resolution by title only. <br /> A question was asked if a structural engineer had been hired to determine if the <br /> building was structurally sound. City Code Enforcement Officer, Chad McClure, <br /> said the stability of the building does not necessarily factor in on a decision to <br /> condemn a structure. The 4 deficiencies considered in condemnations are 1) <br /> Major structural components, or parts thereof, such as the doors, windows and <br /> walls are missing or damaged; 2) The structure has been left unlocked, <br /> unattended, and vacant; 3) The structure is not under active repair; 4) The <br /> structure is not being used as an accessory building or out building.
