Thanks to our members for making coverage of West St. Paul City Council meetings possible.
Another abatement of a problem property for the West St. Paul City Council, plus next year’s road construction and a proposed athletic facilities rental policy are on the agenda for Monday’s meeting.
Abatement
After issuing an emergency order to secure 1037 Humboldt at the last meeting, Council will consider an abatement process to continue to address this problem property. A number of residents attended the last meeting with concerns about this property.
Other Items on the Agenda:
- Road work: City Council will hold a public hearing for the 2024 mill and overlay projects, which include Kraft, Richard, Teresa, Vivian, Kathleen, Muriel, Audrey, Carol, Westview, Scott, and Holiday streets. Home owners will be assessed about $1,900 for a single family home. Construction work will happen in the summer of 2024.
- Rental policy: During the Open Council Work Session (OCWS), Council will consider a proposed athletic facilities rental policy. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee reviewed multiple iterations of this policy and recommended approval at their September meeting.
- Snow removal: Council will hold another public hearing for the Robert Street sidewalk snow removal, which will cover Butler to Mendota Road and be assessed to properties after the season. North of Butler has been left to property owners due to various issues, though will see increased enforcement this winter.
- Indigenous Peoples’ Day: Council will proclaim October 9 to be Indigenous Peoples’ Day and also have a discussion during the OCWS to determine if future Council meetings should avoid being scheduled on the holiday.
Engage
Watch: The public can watch the meeting live on Town Square TV or cable TV starting at 6:30 p.m. on Monday (6 p.m. for the OCWS).
