The following legislation will be considered for passage under suspension of the rules this evening: Second Reading — Ordinance 2017-81, Ordinance 2017-86 and Resolution 2017-87. REPORTS Mayor Kennedy: • The Budget Hearings start tomorrow and the City is excited about it. • There will be a meeting about deer on December 6, 2017. • The recreation plans are on the agenda today. The City has put a lot of time into this and it will dominate my next five months. I will be in the neighborhoods on as many nights as I can giving a presentation for as many residents as possible. Director of Law Gareau: • Thanks to Director Lieber and the Building Department the property located at 30399 Lorain Road had the dumpster show up and they are starting to get it cleaned up. It has been a disaster and stuck in litigation for most of the past two years. The issue was changing ownership in the courts and as soon as the ink was dry on the order changing ownership, the new owner was cited. It has been substantially cleaned up and there is more work to do as the inside is a disaster. • Another location just beginning this process is 4033 Walter Road. The house has a substantial hole in the roof. The City gained access to the house through the judicial process and it will probably be condemned. • Lastly, I told you about the house former Councilmember Carolyn Kasler used to own. Someone came with a proposal to BZBA to build a home on that lot. It was not approved the first time, but it was approved last night so a new home will be built on the lot, which was the purpose of the program. Director of Finance Copfer:
