REGULAR MEETING
<br />REJECT OFFERS FOR PURCHASE OF CITY -OWNED PROPERTIES
<br />(1813 S. CARROLL AND 209 E. DAYTON)
<br />JANUARY 12, 1981
<br />Mr. Kernan advised that the Board had previously established offer-
<br />ing prices of $203.00 for city -owned property at 1813 S. Carroll,
<br />and $368.00 for property at 209 E. Dayton. He stated that Mr.
<br />Robert Hennesey, who was interested in buying the properties, had
<br />submitted an offer of $10.00 for each of said lots. Mr. Kernan
<br />recommended that Mr. Hennesey's offers be rejected. He suggested
<br />a counter -offer of $150.00 for the Carroll Street property and
<br />$250.00 for the Dayton Street property. Upon a motion made by Mr.
<br />Kernan, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, Mr. Hennesey's offers
<br />were rejected, and the Clerk was instructed to advise Mr. Hennesey
<br />that the city would be willing to sell the above properties for
<br />the prices suggested by Mr. Kernan in order to cover appraisal
<br />costs and other associated paperwork involved with the possible
<br />sale of said lots.
<br />APPROVE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEAN -UP OF LOTS
<br />A request from the Neighborhood Code Enforcement Office was received
<br />for permission to have city environmental crews clean the following
<br />lots within the city:
<br />ADDRESS CONDITION
<br />129 N. O'Brien Garbage & trash, litter, furniture, junk
<br />705 Marietta Garbage & trash open bags, .litter,
<br />bed springs, lumber
<br />4006 W. Ford Brush furniture
<br />129 N. Sadie Litter, junk, garbage & trash
<br />934 Garden Automobile tires, boxes, appliances, junk
<br />1802 S. Jackson Garbage & trash
<br />It was noted that property owners had been advised to clean up the
<br />lots and had failed to comply. Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski,
<br />seconded by Mr. Hill and carried, the request was approved. Mr. James
<br />Cronk, 702 East LaSalle Street, asked what some of the reasons were
<br />for having the lots cleaned. Mr. Hill referred to the list just
<br />approved by the Board, stating that many of the lots are cited for
<br />garbage and trash, litter and junk. Mr. Cronk stated that, at one
<br />of the recent Board meetings, certain lots were cited for weeds.
<br />He felt this was unfair at this time of the year. Mr. Hill reminded
<br />Mr. Cronk that, before the city can cause the lots to be cleaned,
<br />the property owners must be notified and given a certain period of
<br />time to clean up the property. He felt that, in many of those cases
<br />where weeds were cited, the property owners had probably been notified
<br />prior to November but had taken no action.
<br />APPROVAL OF HANDICAPPED PARKING PERMITS
<br />Mr. Leszczynski made a motion that the following new applications for
<br />handicapped parking permits be approved and referred to the Deputy
<br />Controller's Office for issuance, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried:
<br />F. R. Nicholas Carter, M.D., 124 S. Jacob, S.B.
<br />Beverly Heierman, 125 W. Marion, Apt. 205, S.B.
<br />Mildred Wegner, 11324 McKinley Hwy., Osceola
<br />Jane E. Moore, 1230 Fairington Cir., Apt. 219, S.B.
<br />Mr. Hill then made a motion that the following renewal applications
<br />for handicapped parking permits be approved and referred to the
<br />Deputy Controller's Office for issuance, seconded by Mr. Leszczynski
<br />and carried:
<br />Herbert L. Fritz, 2610 W. MacGregor, S.B.
<br />Victor Ketchmark, 905 N. Elmer, S.B.
<br />Clarence E. Snyder, 405 Tonti, S.B.
