CITY UPDATE: JUNE 18TH - JULY 1ST
CITY UPDATE: JUNE 18TH - JULY 1ST UPCOMING EVENTS: ‼ MONDAY, JULY 4TH, CITY HALL WIL BE CLOSED IN OBSERVANCE OF THE INDEPENDENCE DAY HOLIDAY DID YOU KNOW??? According to the 2014 U.S. Community Survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau 61.5% of the City’s occupied housing units were “Owner Occupied”, while 38.5% were “Renter Occupied”. Having a higher percentage of owner occupied housing units is one indicator of a community’s housing and financial strength and the higher the percentage the better. So how do we compare? Not very well. We underperform in this category when compared to every one of our comparables: United States: Illinois: Madison County: St. Clair County: Belleville: Caseyville: Columbia: Dupo: Edwardsville: Fairview Heights: Glen Carbon: Granite City: Highland: Maryville: O’Fallon: Pontoon Beach: Waterloo: 64.4% “Owner Occupied”, 35.6% “Renter Occupied”; 66.9% “Owner Occupied”, 33.1% “Renter Occupied”; 71.4% “Owner Occupied”, 28.6% “Renter Occupied”; 65.5% “Owner Occupied”, 33.5% “Renter Occupied”; 62% “Owner Occupied”, 38% “Renter Occupied”; 78.8% “Owner Occupied”, 21.2% “Renter Occupied”; 78.5% “Owner Occupied”, 21.5% “Renter Occupied”; 79.9% “Owner Occupied”, 20.1% “Renter Occupied”; 68.4% “Owner Occupied”, 31.6% “Renter Occupied”; 75% “Owner Occupied”, 25% “Renter Occupied”; 67.1% “Owner Occupied”, 32.9% “Renter Occupied”; 67.3% “Owner Occupied”, 32.7% “Renter Occupied”; 66.1% “Owner Occupied”, 33.9% “Renter Occupied”; 82.4% “Owner Occupied”, 17.6% “Renter Occupied”; 70.4% “Owner Occupied”, 29.6% “Renter Occupied”; 68.7% “Owner Occupied”, 31.3% “Renter Occupied”; 77.2% “Owner Occupied”, 22.8% “Renter Occupied”; Part of the reason for the higher rate of renter occupied units is that Collinsville has very affordable and older housing units, coupled with the housing market and the recent foreclosure crisis this has made the City very attractive for rental property investment. Factor in that most of the other communities (not all) employ some type of occupancy permitting system that requires the property attain a certain level of maintenance and code compliance before occupancy or tenancy change. This does add small costs to property ownership costs for landlords and not having a program coupled with the other factors makes Collinsville an easy market for rental property proliferation. Many factors influence the occupancy of residential units, but a high level of renter occupied units is an indicator of problems facing a community that will need to be addressed (reduced property values, increased code violations, less sense of community ownership, etc.). Stay tuned for more discussion on this topic. 1 CITY UPDATE - JUNE 18TH - JULY 1ST 2016 POLICE DEPARTMENT: On Monday morning, June 20th, some present CPD Officers met with several retired CPD for the bimonthly retiree breakfast.

Good job George on obtaining compliance above and beyond what the code required! City Attorney Marshall Hilmes and I are still trying to get work done at 1405 W. Main (Rick Atwood residence, also known as the two story garage on the hill). He came in right before court on Tuesday wanting permits to do work and I advised him that no permits would be issued until all of his issues were resolved and fines were paid. He has complied with most of what he was asked to do but these things were not completed until after his court dates, so in a nutshell he was fined $2,250.00 of which he has paid $300. Tuesday was his pay or appear date and he tried to lawyer up once again, but I reminded Marshall that this was his pay or appear date. We made him offers, tried to compromise and he wanted to roll the dice with the judge. The judge ordered him to pay the $2,250.00 by the end of August or he would be spending 22 days in the Madison County Jail. He has 30 days to appeal the order and since then a local attorney has made contact with Hilmes representing Atwood. Atwood was also advised that in order for permits to be issued for work he would need to make an appointment with the Building Official Dan Davis and give detailed information of his plans for the property.
