Ordinance No. 8225 lets the council appoint Condemnation Appeals Commission members directly
On second reading the council adopted Ordinance No. 8225 (first reading November 18, 2025, 5-0), so that Condemnation Appeals Commission members are no longer drawn from the Construction Advisory and Appeals Commission. The ordinance says the commission meets once or twice a month, usually for several hours, and that it had become difficult to find volunteers. The same night the council took no action on appointments to the commission.[1][2][3]
Ordinance No. 8225 states that the five-member Condemnation Appeals Commission had been appointed from the nine-member Construction Advisory and Appeals Commission, that it "meets frequently (once or twice per month), usually for several hours," and that "it has become difficult to find volunteers to serve on the CAC." The staff memo said the change would expand the pool of candidates.
