City Council holds brief session Monday evening

Monday evening’s Superior City Council was short and sweet. The meeting was opened and closed within a 20 minute time frame. Not the shortest ever but certainly one of the shortest. Council members Levi Gunn and Carrie Lemke were absent.

Members accepted Garvin Tucker’s electric department resignation and approved advertising for a replacement. Grant Peterson’s application to return to the Superior Volunteer Fire Department was accepted.

The airport levy request tabled at the previous meeting on Aug. 12, was approved without dissent.

The bid from Scott Sales of $10,188 for the replacement of a Superior Public Library furnace was accepted.

A property at 650 Park Street was declared a public nuisance. The house at that location has been unoccupied for several years. Earlier this year a tree limb fell damaging the roof and siding. While the house was still occupied, a previous council rejected the then owner’s plan to rehabilitate the property. Now, attempts to locate the owner and have the code violations cleared have not been successful. The owner is thought to be Bradley Murren

The declaration of a public nuisance is but a step that may lead to the city doing the work and attaching a lien on the property.
