RECOMMENDATION Approval of this Ordinance. BACKGROUND Pursuant to Chapter 13 of Title IV of the Pueblo Municipal Code and Chapter 8 of the Uniform Code for Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, the Building Official has determined that several buildings within the City were in a dangerous condition, and after giving proper notice to the owners, requested the City to demolish the buildings.

Passage of this Ordinance will assess said costs, which are stated in the Ordinance, against the affected properties. Payment of the assessment is due in full within thirty (30) days from the date of ordinance approval. If payment in full is not made within that time period, the County Treasurer will advertise and sell the property for the payment of the unpaid assessment. FINANCIAL IMPACT The cost of demolition, removal, and incidentals has been advanced by the CDBG Fund budgeted for the removal of dangerous structures. All proceeds from the collection of assessments will reimburse said fund.
