I took the time to watch a meeting of the City of Huntington Unsafe Building Commission this week. I was very impressed with Mr. Tom Bell, who chaired the meeting. In addition, the commission members and the city employees reporting to the commission were extremely professional in the interaction that occurred with members of the public during the meeting.

I am encouraged that this important city commission is "on top of things." I predict that we will see good progress from this commission, as they identify and work with owners to have dilapidated houses brought up to standards, or demolished.
