Attac ed is an outline of the revieed ordinance. ost of the changes t�all i two reas: more definitions and changes in procedures. The�i incr ased efinitions do not represent significant chengee, i The most importeont ch ngee n �,rocedure ere ag followe: 1. Procedu�ee f r ord nary, eubstential, and emergency abatem nt heve be�n se arate in order to tailor notice requirements to the neede o�f esc type and aleo to meke procedures more clear. 2. Courtes� ord re se t before ebetement proceduree are initi ted are no longer eddr sed in the ordinance because their pre ence only cr�eted onfu on and since they are not a legal requ rement for eny � leter actio . 3. Hotific�tion roced ree ere epelled out. Attached is a flop-ch�rt wh ch eh we how the notification requirement re ete to the proced res. 4. Initial 'order must go to both the owner� of reaord and any persone �iknown to he e cantrol of the property. 5. For init'�iel o ders, posting is considered proper notice only in extremeicases when he ownership of the property can not be determin'�ed. 6.

SuggeStions receive� resul ed in complete reorganization of the ordinance. Attached is an outlipne of he rev �ed ordinance. tiost of the changes fall in tMo areae: more definiti�ns an chang in procedures. The increased definitione do ot represent significan chan es. The most important c�anges in proc dure are as follors: 1. Procedures �for or nary, ubstantial, and emergency abatement have been 8eparated i#� order to tai or notice requirements to the needs of each ty e and also to�Imake p ocedur s more clear. 2. Courtesy orqfers se t befo e abatement procedures are initiated are no longer addr�ssed i the o dinance because their presence only created confusion a d sinc they re not a legal requirement for any later actio . 3. Hotificatiori proce ures a e spelled out. Attached is a f1oM chart rhich shors hor tt�e noti icatio requirement relate to the procedures. 4. Initial ord�rs mus go to both the oMner of record and any persons knorn to have contro]l of th prope ty. 5. For initial �iorders posti g is considered proper notice only in extreme cases rhen t�he o�n rship f the property can not be determined. 6. Hotificatio� of co munity councils regarding hearings has been added. 7. More stringe�nt not ficati n of orners and financially interested parties s required for� subst ntial atement hearings. But to control costs, publication ��is res rved o y for those cases vhere all attempts to serve the these paprties ave fe ed. 8. Whenever demblitio of a ilding is ordered, notice srill be placed in th County Recor�ier's fice ere it rould be discovered by anyone doing a title searchjon th proper y. 9, The descript�on of he opt on for appeal to district court has been remov d from the ord nance. This rocess is incredibly time consuming since it c n take tro yea�s �ust to get on the calendar. Aggrieved parties alrays hav the option o� appea ing a ity council decision to district court but the e is no need t encou age su h appeals by describing in the ordinance. One change in a defin�tion i signi icant: 1. Abandoned bu ldings nor in lude buildings vhich have stood with incomplet exterior shel�ls for three ears or more. The city attorney's o�fice h s sign d off on the proposed ordinance. Steve Roy an I are in agreement that it i ready to go. Tedesco's office is rilling to let it g ahead rithout raitingjfor th regis ration ordinance. I am planning to brief Rettmann's office on t�he ord nance s soon as you give me the go ahead. Do you vish it to be i�pntrodu ed to uncil noM or to send it out for comment first? One alternative rould lfor Re tmann nd it out pell in advance of the first committee hearing on i�t alon rith notice of the time and the place of the hearin to all the interes� pa�ties.
