3. Discussion Regarding 181 State Street and 67 Lincoln Street
Staff has been working with this taxpayer but they are unable to come to agreement on
a plan to bring the taxes and code issues current on the above referenced properties
within the guidelines of existing policy. Both staff and Mr. Butler discussed the various
meetings and offers which can not be reconciled within existing policy.
Motion was made to direct staff to work with Mr. Butler to arrive at a satisfactory plan
for 67 Lincoln Street and if an agreement can not be reached within 30 days, staff is to
prepare an Order to take possession of the property. Motion passed 4-1 (Councilor
Graham in opposition).
At staff’s suggestion, further Council direction for 181 State Street was delayed until
staff was able to address 67 Lincoln Street with the owner.

Motion made and seconded to recommend to the City Council that the City take
possession of the properties.
