Residents raise multiple code‑enforcement concerns at Chula meeting

Public comment and staff reports at the Sept. 8 session flagged several code‑enforcement issues for follow up. Resident Letha Graves reported a code‑enforcement letter about overgrowth at the property formerly occupied by Matt Gillan; she said the residence has been sold and is vacant, and asked staff to verify whether the water bill deposit refund should be returned to Steve and Kelcey Graves or to the resident Matt Gillan. The city said staff will call Kelcey Graves to confirm payee details.

Graves also raised that an antique pickup at Brian Hinnen’s yard appears on the city’s unregistered‑vehicle list; the board noted the family could obtain a historic tag to resolve that citation. Staff reported that Angie and Mike Stover poured concrete in an alley near Constant and Marshall, obstructing passage; the council directed staff to send a letter requiring removal within 15 days or to have the city contract the removal and bill the property owners.
