Ordinance 8159-26 appropriates $300,000 for Demolition of Blighted and Vacant Properties. It states
passage on May 12, 2026 and an effective date of July 1, 2026.

What remains unanswered
The approved outyear plan is not five years of present appropriations. The FY2027 line does not establish
a property award, contract, payment, lien, reimbursement or current unspent balance. Obtain the project
code, transaction ledger, authorized transfers, commitments, invoices, completion evidence and
recoveries. Do not add separate City-building demolition projects to this private-blight program without a
documented accounting link.
