The meeting was called to order at 10:01 a.m.
STAFF PRESENT: John Betz, Code Enforcement; Roxanna Flink, Real Estate; Steve Magner,
Code Enforcement
Laid over snmmary abatements:
912 Rose Avenue East (J0202V)
Eric Kuczaboski, tEnant, appeared and stated he had a vehicle parked oa the property. The tabs
were �pired. He though# it was okay to be pazked on ti�at spot. The vehicle needed work. He
was never sent anything. The ticket was sent to his landlord's house on Geranium Avenue. The
landlord said a few weeks later that the caz had to get out of there. Two weeks later, the caz was
gone. A few weeks after that, the landlord gave him the bill. The landlord could not be here
today due to recent surgery.
John Betz reported the notice was mailed to Occupant at 912 Rose and to Gary Loomis (owner).
Gerry Stra#hman stated orders v�ere mailed on December i 3. The orders originally read to
remove the vehicle by December 26, which wouFd have I�een the customary two weeks.
Someone must have asked for additional time because they were given until January 14 to
remove the vehicle. It was st71 not moved, so the vehicle was towed on January 18. Mr.
Kuczaboski responded that maybe the landlord called. Mr. Betz responded he does not know
who asked for an e�ctension. The arder was issued by an intern that worked last summer. He
tried caliing t'iazy Laomis a coupte af times about fhe work order.
Mr. Kuczaboski stated Mr. Loomis was the onty eue that �eceived paper�vark.
Mr. Strathmau stated when the inspectors see a vehicie tbat meets the defiu�tic� flf abandoned, a
notice is sent to the property owner, and the owner is given an opporttmity to correct the
situarion. In this case, there were two oppornmiries to remove the vehicle. The City removed it
on January 18. Ail of the legat slements aze in order. The recc>rds indicate they tried to notify
Mr. Kuczaboska. 3t�r. SYrattt�nau cannoY see anything here tt�at is out of order. The amount of the
asse�t is less than av�age_ � are iygically $b0(3 and this assessment is $455.50. The
law reads ihat 13�e C3ty has to notify Li�e prop�ty owner, and not the vehicle owner. The
assessme� wiit bs against the property owner.
Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the assessment.

S15 Lafond Avenue (J0203A)
Page 2
Joseph Lazarich, owner, appeazed and stated he received a notice about a month ago, but he is
not allowed to live at the property tmtil October 2. His estranged wife is living there. He is
paying for the house, bu# is not allowed on the properry.
Mr. Strathman asked does this have to do with brush and yazd waste. Mr. Lazarich responded
yes.
Mr. Strathman asked did he get the notice on April 2. Mr. Lazarich responded he got the notice
about a month ago because lus wife withheld it. He is not allowed to live there untii October 2.
It is a court order.
Mr. Strathman asked did she give him a reason why she didn't give him the notice. Mr. Lazarich
responded she is just being petty.
(A videotape was shown.)
Mr. Strathman stated this is an interesring one. There is no question that the owner is legally
responsible. The City met its responsibility: sending out the nofice and given the owner an
opportunity to conect. Mr. Lazarich responded if he goes on the property, he can be arrested.
Mr. Sh�ati�man asked is there a zestraining order or something. Mr. Lazarich responded yes.
Mr. Betz stated the inspector is awaze of this situation now. If something happens in the next
two months, the inspector will mail it to Mr. Lazarich's current address and the property address.
Gerry Stra#lunan recommends deleting the assessment. The owner could have hired someone to
do i#, but he ciidn'# l�ow almut it. U�der the law, he is responsible, but under some sense of
fairness and eqiri#y, the Ci13� can Iet this ane go by. This should noi happen again. Mr. Lazarich
needs to wark out something with ius wife so �at he gets this inffarmation. 3f he cannot go on
the property, he can lure someone to do it.

LEGISLATIVE HEARING IvIINLJTES OF JIJLY 23, 2002 Page 3
Steve Magner reported there were two occurtences that happened in the same month. There were
two work orders, but only one abatement. The Saint Paul Police Department executed a warrant
at 1164 Westem on February 12. They found a meth lab and it was requested that the building be
secured so there is no access. The building was condemned and boazded to keep people out.
There were five secures: three on the house and two on the garage. On February 18, there was a
call about an open window. Commander Morehead requested that it be taken caze of. A boazd
was put on the building. The total cost of $667.25 is reflecting two emergency trip chazges, five
secutes, one board, and $70 in service fees. Mr. Magner could have given the owner this
information on the telephone. Boarding usually causes more damage and is a deterrent to the
neighborhood. In tius case, there were five secures with metal clips fastened to the doors. A
person has to have a screw guns or other device to open the door.
Mr. Strathman stated they secured it rather than boarding it because it looks better. Mr. Magner
responded yes. It even repels more people. It was primarily the doors that were secured. They
were able to lock al] the windows.
Mr. Ambrose asked could he get a slight discount. Mr. Strathman responded this is basically
what the City paid the emergency boarding contractor. The City is just collecting the money that
they had to pay this contractor. It is a little different when it is a cleanup by a City crew. There
can be a little more latitude sometimes. In this case, it was done by a private contractor. Mr.
Magner added that the CiTy lets out a bid every two yeazs. This work is cheaper than it has been
in the past. ,
Gerry Strathman recommends approval of the assessment.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:33 p.m.
