A concerned resident who neighbors a blighted property in Clinton was before the Clinton City Council Monday night hoping for answers regarding a home on North Quincy Street in Clinton.

Jim Moberly addressed the Council last month about the property and this month was seeking an update.

City Administrator Tim Followell admitted things are moving slowly and what the end result will be is in question but he assured Moberly the City was taking action to do something about the property.

Clinton Commissioner of Public Safety Dan Ballenger pointed out he spent last Wednesday evening browsing other properties of interest and called on residents to take pride in their properties.

Other business from the Monday meeting, the Council approved the contract for the Illini Drive subdivision to Stark Excavating for just over $600,000.
