♦ Salisbury City Council meets Tuesday at 4 p.m. at City Hall on 217 S. Main Street. Tuesday’s big item: Salisbury, N.C.’s City Council will hold a public hearing on city code changes effecting abandoned, neglected, and vacant residential houses. An estimated 800 abandoned and vacant houses are said to exist throughout Salisbury.
In order to enforce city codes with so many abandoned and vacant houses it was suggested by the Housing Advocacy Commission that the city hire 2 additional code enforcement officers with a price tag of approximately $195,000. These 2 new code enforcement hires’s price tags would include benefits, salaries, 2 new cars, equipment, training costs, and travel.
Likely several city council candidates will appear at the public hearing along with their supporters.
