The City of Hopkins declared the Mutti Building and the Ferrell Gas building next to it as unsafe at the regular City Council Meeting Monday. The city has already placed cones around it and plans to block the sidewalk and the area around the building for the Hopkins Picnic. Since it is not an emergency situation, the owner will have 60 days from the receipt of notice to fix or demolish the building. If the owner does not comply, the city can proceed with further action.
The city will not attempt to demolish the old bank vault north of Barnard Street where the 102 Valley Bank used to be for now, since it says it doesn’t pose an immediate hazard. The council approved planting grass along that area.
The pump and the waste basin went out; the basin had one foot full of sludge, which the city cleaned.
The council voted to close off the streets for the Hopkins Picnic next month.
The council voted to move the meeting date to August 9th. The tax hearing will also be held that day.
The city had four calls from people regarding oil from the asphalt on city streets getting on peoples’ cars. Roseberry was the worst street. The city has been sweeping the streets.
The city also got complains about mud being tracked into the bar from runoff. The city will put asphalt on a stretch from 3rd & Barnard to Roseberry.
