nate in city' s letters of 9/8/80 and 9/19/80 , because of financial hardship,
APPEARANCE : Lynne Ann Nelson Paul Vogelgesang

PROCEEDINGS : Ms . Nelson related the problems she was having zaith her
tenants . T ey had filed a complaint with the city and after an inspection
the owner had been ordered to upgrade the electrical service. The tenants.
had withheld their rent payments , and the owner had started eviction pro-
ceedings . When the ma�ter came up in court, the judge had ordered a reduc-
tion in rent , from $225 monthly to $175 , until the electrical service was
improved. Ms . Nelson said she was having similar trouble with the tenants
on the first �loor. -
Paul Vogelgesang, city electrical inspector, stated that he had made the
inspection and had instructed the ten ants to fuse doi,rn as a tempozaxy
measure to avoid overloading the system.
ris. Nelson told the board that with the amount of income she was realizing
from the property, she could not afford to have the electrical work done. .

not yet concluded any arrangement. She thought it would cost between
�3,000 and $4 ,000 to completely rewir� :t�o code specifications .
bir. Tieso said it would not cost nearly that much to meet code in an exist-
3.ng structure. He explained that she had confused code rec{uirements for
new construction with what was required in a building already in existence.
He guessed that� costs for this type of improvement ��ould come to $1 ,500 to
$1,800. He suggested that Ms. Nelson should sit down with the city elec-
trical inspector to find out exactly what needed to be done. As a tempor-
ary solution, he advised the immediate installation of fusta.4 adaptors until
the electrical service hact been upgraded to cvde.
BOARD ACTION: Mr. Naibi moved to grant a 90-day extension of time to
complete all items listed in letters of 1/4/80 , 9/8/80 , and 9/19/80 , on
condition that present overfusing be eliminated and fustat adaptors
be installed. Mrs. Peake seconded. MOTION CARRIED AND SO ORDERED.
