More on Pima County Supervisor Ally Miller's Road Troubles - February 25, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

Last Friday, Feb. 21, the Weekly reported that Pima County Supervisor Ally Miller had changed transportation staff recommendations on transportation projects to include paving of Oasis Road in her own neighborhoodand that one of her closest political allies and other campaign contributors lived along Oasis Road as well.

Miller did not return a phone call from the Weekly to answer questions about her transportation priorities before our stories ran, but she and her defenders later complained that the stories were inaccurate because a portion of Oasis Road in front of the contributors' homes were not paved.

Sherese Steffens, for example, argued on this blog that Pima Countys road repair was conveniently stopped just before the driveway to Steffens and Jimenez's house. So maybe you should get your facts straight before you print a hit piece. And in case you also didn't check out the facts, we pay pima county property taxes and a lot of them. Was stopping the paving before our houses political retribution for our support of Ally? Looks that way doesn't it.

The big problem with Steffens argument: That section Oasis Road that remained unpaved actually belongs to the town of Marana, which annexed roughly 37 acres in the area last October.

Marana Planning Director Ryan Mahoney confirmed today that Pima County paved the road up to the Marana town limits and that a stretch of approximately 1/8 of a mile inside of Marana remained unpaved.

Rockdale to demolish four unsafe houses - February 25, 2014 by Mr HomeBuilder

CONYERS Rockdale County will demolish four houses that have been deemed unfit for human habitation following a vote by the Board of Commissioners Tuesday morning.

The houses are located at 1582 Broad St., 1777 Grimes St., 2662 Zingara Road, and 3817 Arbor Lane.

Planning and Development Director Marshall Walker told commissioners at a work session last week that the county had gone through the necessary process to notify property owners of code violations and proceed with the demolition.

Walker said Tuesday that court hearings were held for each property and each was found to be uninhabitable. Under state law, if a property cannot be brought up to code at a reasonable cost in relation to the present value, the owners may be ordered to demolish the structures.

Since the owners failed to carry out the demolition within the time specified by the court, commissioners voted to proceed with the demolition at county expense.

The county is authorized by state law to place a lien against the real property where the houses are located in order recoup the cost of demolition, including all court costs, appraisal fees, administrative costs incurred by the tax commissioner and all other costs associated with the demolition. Walker said Tuesday that the county will be responsible for removing and disposing of the structures, in addition to any driveway paving. The cost of demolition for each house is in the $10,000 range, he said.

Under state law, the countys lien will be superior to all other liens except tax liens.
