The Slater City Council discussed the topic of nuisance properties during its regular-session meeting on Tuesday, March 7.
City Administrator Gene Griffith said each council member has been tasked with identifying properties within their wards that are in nuisance violation.
Griffith said residents will receive a letter if they have certain items deemed a nuisance on their property.

City Attorney Adam Sommer said the legal process can be drawn out and expensive if a resident chooses not to take care of the violations.

Griffith said the first round of nuisance violation letters is scheduled to be sent out at the beginning of April.
