929 MCALISTER

 

AUDIENCE TIME:

 

42.  On April 1st there was a fire at 924 McAlister, wants to know who is the owner for that property; it has been abandoned for over 2 months.  The property at 920 McAlister has been boarded up for some time now.  We need to keep the property value up, all these abandoned properties need to be taken care of. 

 

 

DAN TRAYNOFF

202 S. ELMWOOD

 

 

43.  He spoke to the chief regarding Antique Cars, they are required to have City Stickers and his Antique Car doesn’t have one.  He pays enough taxes.  It’s unfair for Waukegan Residents to pay $20 at the beach if their Antique Car doesn’t have a City Sticker.

45.  Thanked everyone who participated in the Mayor’s Luncheon.  Thanked Diane Hewitt for her presentation on LifeSource.  Also, thanked Teddy Anderson and David Motley.

 

ALDERMAN CUNNINGHAM

 

46.  According to reports a property must be declared an emergency before it can be torn down.  It is the building commissioner’s call.  He is a little disappointed that this property at 928 McAlister wasn’t handled like the situation on Grand Ave.  He is baffled by the Building Commissioner’s call.

 

ALDERMAN MOISIO

 

47.  Any abandoned building is an absolute pet peeve of his.  If it was up to him, he would tear down a lot more buildings in Waukegan.  If you own it, you need to take care of it.
