None
New Business:
Mary Schantz expressed concern that the issue of the abandoned structures could start
fading from the agenda of the City Council and the community at large. She encouraged
members to write to their City Council members encouraging them to keep pressure on
and to consider even stiffer penalty for those owners who do not take corrective action.
Jayme Abbott reported that HUD had selected Jefferson City and St. Louis City to
receive additional attention that may help facilitate this issue. Stakeholders have been
formed into groups to start meeting to discuss possible actions for identified issues
affecting our community.
Other Business:
a. 2014 CLG Forum, April 11, 2014. Jayme Abbott attended this event along with Janice
McMillan. She reported that of special interest were two cities initiatives on abandoned
buildings; St. Joseph and St. Louis City. Both cities have been working on various
innovations to help reduce the number of these sites. St. Joseph receives funds from
the casino which are going to projects like "moth balling". St. Louis has been increasing
fines, using the courts and have increased the documentation required by homeowners
to prove "hardship'.
