EAST LIVERPOOL The absence of one council member made all the difference Monday at a special meeting when transferring three properties to the city’s Community Improvement Corporation (CIC) came up for a vote.
Throughout the whole meeting, which took around eight minutes, action was swift and unanimous except when council members voted on transferring 427 Vine St., 859 Ohio Ave. and 847 Baxter St. to the CIC for disposal.
During the preceding meeting of council’s finance committee, Mayor Greg Bricker said there had been interest by a real estate firm in flipping the Vine Street property, while the properties on Ohio Avenue is already a vacant lot and the one on Baxter is expected to be so in the future.
