(KLZA)-- The Pawnee City Council members continue to discuss the nuisance property downtown owned by Jerry Graham.

Graham was unable to meet with the Council Monday night.  It has been confirmed that the deed to the buildings that burned last September have been changed from Eileen Hines to her husband Jerry Graham.

With that being done, the Council voted to rescind a motion made earlier this month to give Hines 30-days to make improvements to the remaining structure or have it razed. Monday night, the Council voted to notify Jerry Graham that he has 30 days to make improvements to solidify the remaining portion of the buildings or have them razed. After 30 days the City will turn the matter over to the City Attorney for action if nothing is done.

On a related note, Grinnell Insurance has asked the City to ask Doug Antholz, a structural engineer to do a second inspection of the back wall of the laundromat. Antholz, a Pawnee City native, now living in St. Louis inspected the property following the fire and offered a report on the property to the Council.
