As required by Chapter 91, the City Clerk's Office has reviewed the petition to ascertain if 60% of the owners and tenants within a one block area of the alleged public nuisance have signed the petition. While it is clear that the petition has not been signed by 60% of the owners and tenants within one block, it is di�cult to determine the exact percentage. The difficulty arises from the lack of any accurate list of tenants. The Valuation Division can only supply my office with a list of uwners within a one block radius (see attached). Under Section 91.03, �he City Council may, in its discretion, accept the petition and schedule a public hearing or return the petition to the petitioners for additional signatures. As required by Council procedure, I am forwarding the petition to you for further action It vou have any questions, please call me at 266-8690. � Enc. cc: Councilmember Janice Rettman Legislative Aide Joe Collins Alonzo Cooper - Norton Street Block Club 1096 Norton Avenue = � a`-►y �o August 8 , 1996 � TO THE CITY ATTORNEY FOR THE CITY OF ST.

These buildings are dual residences , however , our under5tanding is that Section 8 housing programs are designed for single mothers with children, not unemployed gang members and grown men that sit in their front yards drinking, doing drugs and hasseling residents on our street . We are concerned for our children, and our property value which is dropping at a staggering rate . We have approached the slumlords of these properties in an effort to resolve these problems .
