Council Meeting
The City Council met on Tuesday, turning its focus in the direction of old business regarding dilapidated properties within the city.
The council discussed the subject of three buildings located on Frisco Street that are dilapidated and falling down. According to the city clerk, although the taxes have been paid on the properties, they are in such bad shape they have become uninhabitable.
Walls and ceilings were described as "caving in and collapsing." The city has begun the process to condemn the buildings. Notices have been posted and the owners have been notified. The city has been waiting for their response. So far, no word on what the property owners plan to do to resolve the issues. The city will send out one more notice, according to city leaders.
This provides the owner 21 days to tear down the buildings. If the owner does not comply during that time frame, the city can then step in and tear the buildings down and put a lien on the property. By the next board meeting in August, the council should be able to make a decision whether or not outside help will be required to demolish the properties.

MEMBERS TAKE OATH
New members for the Arbyrd City Council assumed office this week at the council's regular meeting.
After the council certified the results of the April 6 municipal election, City Clerk Erma Branum administered the oath of office to incumbents Mayor Lonnie Dale Gibson, Jr., City Marshall Mitch Skelton, Alderman Ron Higgins, and newly-elected Alderman Richard Vallee.
It was reported during the meeting that the city has submitted an application for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for a new project in the community. The grant application is for a new multi-purpose community building that would house the library, a community center and the city's fire station. In addition, a second CDBG grant application has been submitted for a drainage project in the northern part of the city.
A Missouri Department of Natural Resources Tracking and Management report was submitted, but it was not approved by the state department. The department forwarded to city officials information on how to format the Tracking and Management report. City Marshall Mitch Skelton reported to the council that he will be in contact with DNR officials concerning compliance with the settlement agreement.
