The fire mazshal told him the home was condemned. Mr. Windom stated he paid $62,000 for the home. It needs a lot of work, but the majority of the work involves painting the house and instailing a new kitchen floor. Mr. Windom stated he is on disability and has three children. He wanted the fire marshal to be here because a lot of things the fire mazshal wants done has to be done by contractors. Mr. Windom wanted to know if there was any way he could do the work himself.

He could not go back to the shelter because they had just lefr the shelter. Mr. Strathman stated the order says the owner needs a code compliance inspection and to post a bond. This is too difFcult to deal with without the proper City staff. This issue will have to be rescheduled. Mr. Stratiunan suggested Mr. Windom get ahold of Enforcement Officer Steve Magner, talk through the situation, and see what can be worked out. If something is not worked out, Mr. Windom should come back to this hearing on August 4.

Ms. Erickson said she would provide the tenants with evacuation information in the Asian languages they speak. Ms. Fish assumed the owner would be here today.
