Bay Bulls council is giving a resident another month to arrange collection of his personal property from the town garage.
The town removed a number of items from a property on Track Road Extension in September following complaints about the messy property. Requests to clean up the property went unheeded.
The items have been held in storage by the Town since then, despite numerous attempts to contact the owner.
Last month, council voted to have the town lawyer draft a letter formally requesting the property owner to pick up his belongings.
At last week’s meeting, Mayor Neil O’Brien confirmed the letter had been sent by registered mail and had been picked up by the tenant.
Councilor Jason Sullivan made a motion to defer the motion, as he claimed the resident had contacted him that day.
“We’ll give him another month, just to see what’s going on,” said Sullivan.
Councilor Keith O’Driscoll seconded the motion, and then inquired as to why council would move the date ahead by a month.
Sullivan said the resident had been planning on sending a formal reply to the Town regarding the issue.
Council voted unanimously to give him another month to collect his stuff.
