Abatement extension

June 8, 2010

BOONE, Iowa---Boone Mayor John Slight says he was not supportive of the City Council's decision to grant an extension for a nuisance abatement for property at 801 Jefferson Street. Slight noted that neighbors approached the council requesting action and action was taken. He says the property owner had been dealt with before for similar issues and he felt an extension was not appropriate. Slight says nuisance complaints are among the highest of all complaints received from citizens.
