LEGISLATTVE HEARING NfINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 28, 2004 Page 4
� J0404C Demolirion of vacant building (garage) af 1854 Benson Avenne during July 2004.
Mazcia Moermond stated it is unusual to see a summary abatement for 58,857 because the cap is
usuallp $3,000.
Steve Magner explained: the abatement on the gazage was appealed at a previous legislative hearing
and the appeal was denied. The demolition of the gazage was in the $3,Q00 threshold. The City is
required to do an inspection survey. When the City went out to do the sun'ey, the contractor noticed
boiler block, a hrick type insulation, put in the attic about 54 yeazs ago. It is unusual to have asbestos
on the gazage. The area was yellowtagged and an emergency summary abatement was issued. There is
another bill for $2,530 for demolition of the gazage. The gaza�e asbestos abatement is $8,857.84.
Janet Pelzel, owner, appeared and stated her estimate was $3,000 to $4,Q00.
Ms. Moermond stated this assessment can be spread over five years. She «ould like to see a ten or
fifteen year assessment through Rea1 Estate. She would also like to see thU decreased. The asbestos is
a public health hazard. She requested copies of the relevant documents, bills, etc. on this assessment.
She encouraged the owner to taik to legal aide about the insurance company paying this. This is an
extreme situation. Ms. Pelzel responded she talked to her insurance company about lowering her rates,
but her payments are the same.
Ms. Moermond's recommends laying over to October 12, 2004 Legislati��e Heazing.
J0303V Towing of abandoned vehicles from private properh• during January through April
2003.
707 Marvland Avenue East
(Steve Rice provided Spanish-English interpretation for this address.)
Marcia Moermond stated this was an inoperabie red Ford lackins license piates in the rear and front
tabs.
Alberto Reynoso Arellano, owner, appeared and stated he has a�een Tocoto Tercel pazked in his 1ot.
Steve Magner reported the vehicle belonged to the previous ownzr. This �tias a(ong ongoing problem
property, This assessment was there when the previous owner transferred ownership.
Ms. Moermond asked when he purchased the property. Mr. Rice responded last September.
Ms. Moermond recommends deleting the assessment, as the ownzr did not receive proper notice. He
was not the owner nor the resident of the property at the time. Ms. Moermond stated she is looking at
an assessment for work done in March.
