Council to update ordinance language to allow sale to Greater Syracuse Land Bank after emergency demolition; contractor list and appointment amended
Caitlin Hubbard, neighborhood planner with MBD, told the council that item 50 is an amendment to an ordinance passed in 2024 to reflect an emergency demolition at a property scheduled to be sold to the Greater Syracuse Land Bank. "So in 2024, the home with the structure was passed for to be sold to the Greater Syracuse Land Bank. We're ready to close on the property, but there was an emergency demolition of the property. So we just need to update it so it says vacant land instead of structure on the property so we can close," Hubbard said.

Councilors indicated item 51 — a list of contractors who typically address issues on city-owned properties — is ready for consideration. Item 52 was described in the transcript as an appointment for "Mr. Davis," but a councilor said they would amend the item to appoint a different person before calling it ready. The transcript does not record a vote on these items during the excerpted discussion.

The amendment to the ordinance is procedural: it updates the property description to match current conditions after an emergency demolition so the previously authorized sale can proceed. The transcript does not include the ordinance’s number or the name of the person who will replace Mr. Davis in the appointment; those details are not specified. The council did not take final action on these items in the provided excerpt.
