The old Neece House at 602 Bugbee Avenue is no longer in imminent danger of condemnation after the Clarendon City Council reviewed progress at the property last week.
During the council’s regular meeting July 9, aldermen recessed from City Hall to visit the property and see for themselves what work had been done.
City Administrator David Dockery said this week that the city council felt property owner Linda Lewis had met her obligations for Phase One code compliance issues. Mrs. Lewis now embarks on Phase Two of compliance issues, which involves a three-year rehabilitation of the property.
When aldermen resumed their meeting at City Hall, the council approved a $30,500 task order with KSA Engineers for engineering services to improve drainage on Third Street, including design, topographical and boundary surveys, and bid and project administration.
The council approved a request from the Clarendon Senior Citizens Meals on Wheels program and authorized $2,000 for that program.
The council also approved engaging Foster & Lambert to conduct the city’s 2014-2015 annual audit.
In his administrator’s report, Dockery said Christi Sims had been hired as a part-time office assistant at City Hall, he reviewed the proposed budget for fiscal year 2016, and he continued discussion on a demolition plan, focusing on efforts to open a Type 4 pit at the former city landfill for possible use in disposing demolished structures.
