RE: Approve Spot Blight Designation; Authorize RDA to Acquire
2332 Jefferson Street
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Winnebago County has also obtained this lot and vacant house due to non- payment of property
taxes and again offered the property to the RDA. This acquisition would also require building
demolition since the house has not been maintained. Again, the lot would then be offered for
new construction with one of the housing organizations operating in the City for construction of a
new house. The intent would be for the vacant lot to then contain a taxable improvement. If no
housing organization would want the property, the RDA could resell the lot to someone with a
requirement to construct a house upon.
At its December 18, 2013 meeting the Redevelopment Authority approved of the spot blight
designation and approved acquiring the property from Winnebago County.
FISCAL IMPACT
No impact is anticipated other than paying the back taxes. The RDA will attempt to recover some
of the costs associated with the acquisition and once resold, the property will be back on the tax
roll.
RECOMMENDATION
Council approves the spot blight designation and the RDA's acquisition of the property.
Approved,
City Manager
