The first in a series of neighborhood meetings by the City of Minot tackled a tough but familiar issue—problem properties that burden the city and its taxpayers. At the first meeting in a new series, city officials laid out the challenges of enforcing zoning codes and abating nuisance properties, including one case that could eat up half the city’s nuisance budget. Most property owners comply when notified, but for those who don’t, the process is costly and slow. Officials encouraged residents to report issues early and previewed upcoming discussions on floodplain properties, recycling, and public safety.
Upcoming meetings and topics include:
- March 13: Sanitation, landfill and recycling at the Recycling building
- March 25: Snow & Ice Action Plan at the Parker Center
- March 27: Public Safety & Legacy City Hall at the Minot Public Library
