The session also covered code enforcement procedures for property maintenance violations, including abatement processes and liens for non-compliance. Additionally, engineering provided updates on major road construction projects, including US-81 concrete work nearing completion with expected finalization by June, and the Cleveland widening project with a 90-day road closure underway. A sidewalk project on Oakland was also discussed, with plans to release bids in June and construction targeted for summer.
