Vacant residential properties measure deferred

6:50 p.m.
An ordinance that would require lenders to register abandoned residential properties with the city and pay a registration fee has stalled, pending additional input from the city's Business Advisory Board.
"If we could bring it back ... one more time, I think that would be advisable. I would vote we do that," said Councilman Bob FitzGerald, who helped champion the measure. "It has, however, gone through every conceivable place known to man, at least through the city government," FitzGerald added, referring to the proposed ordinance's lengthy review process, which has involved  the Code Enforcement Policy Committee, the Aurora Foreclosure Task Force and the Aurora Association of Realtors' Governmental Affairs Committee.
The measure will come back before the council in December.
