Edgewater code magistrate upholds violations; council and CRA weigh property purchases, budget changes
Edgewater's Special Magistrate upheld code violations against several properties on July 7, the only meeting in the past two weeks with published minutes confirming decisions. Several other city bodies met the same week, but their minutes have not yet been published, so outcomes for budget amendments, property purchases, and land-use ordinances remain unconfirmed.
Code Enforcement Decisions
Special Magistrate Ryan Knight upheld staff recommendations for multiple property violations during the July 7 hearing. The magistrate approved minutes from June 11, 2026, and issued orders in four cases:
