MINLJTES OF THE LEGISLATIVE HEARING OF JIJLY 19, 10:00 a.m. Page 3
� 1301 Dayton Avenue
Appeal of Assessment on Excessive Consumption of Code Enforcement Services.
Ms. Gwymie Gianger, owner, 1301 Dayton Avenue, Saint Paul 55104, appeared (651-645-5854;
Cell: 651-235-0388).
Ms. Magner reported that the Orders were mailed out on June 16, 2004, with a compliance date
of August 31, 2004. It was re-inspected on October 21, 2004 and found to be in non-compliace.
A$50 Excessive Consumption charge was issued.
Ms. Cn•anger reported that she was unable to find the letter, so she tried to contact someone in
arder to get an extension. She talked to three (3) different people who did not know who to
contact. Finaily, she got the right person, the inspector. Ms. Granger said that she wanted to let
the inspector lrnow that she was hying to decide between repairing the garage and putting up a
new garage. She applied for some money through a neighborhood agency. Depending upon
how much money she will be able to get, she will either repair the old garage or build a new
garage.
Ms Moermond asked staff what was in the file regarding a contact. Mr. Magner stated that when
the original $50 Excessive Consuxnption letter went out, there was no record of any contact. He
thinks that Ms. Granger talked to the inspector after the issuance of the $50 assessment. Ms.
Crranger stated that she also tried to reach the inspector right after she got the Order.
Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Magner about the deadiines. Mr. Magner responded that the original
Order was mailed June 16, 2004 with a compliance date of August 31, 2Q04. The grass had been
taken care of. No�v, the compliance date is August 3, 2005 (Ms. Cn•auger thinks).
Ms. Moermond stated tl�at she will recommend that the Gity Council delete the $50 asessment,
and if the work on the garage is not done by the new negotiated deadline, which is fourteen (14)
months after the original bill was issued, there will be another bill issued when the inspector
goes out to re-inspect; it wiil be a$'75 bili. The following bill will be for $150. Ms. Moermond
said that she will not recommend the Council delete those.
Recommendation: Delete $50 assessment and grant an extension to August 3, 2005 (or
negoriated date in August 2005).
1243 Palace
Appeal of Suuunary Abatement Order.
Veronica Kraft, owner, 1243 Palace Avenue, Saint Paul 55105, appeared (651-698-8777).
Steve Schiller reported that a complaint came in on June 22, 2005. On June 23, 2005, Mr.
Schiller went out and started a Sumniary Abatement to cut and clean the entire property. An
appeal was filed by the owner, and yesterday (July18, 2005), Mr. Schiller took nine (9) pictures

MINUTES OF THE LEGISLATIVE HEARING OF NLY 19, 10:00 a.m. Page 5
704 DeSoto
Appeal of an assessment for Excessive Consumption of Code Enforcement Services.
Chongwa Xiong, owner, 704 DeSoto Street, Saint Paul 55101, appeared.
Fong Lor, Hmong interpreter and an inspector in LIEP, was present £or this hearing.
Steve Magner reminded Ms. Moermond that Chongwa Xiong appeared for a hearing in regards
to abatement of a motor vehicle (white Toyota - DBJ016) that was inopezable on his property.
At that time, Ms. Moermond reduced that assessment. In conjunction with that, there was also
an Order to repair the broken window in his garage.
Ms. Moermond noted that Mr. Xiong was not in compliance when the inspector went back to
check on the garage, so the deparhnent is charging for the cost of that inspection.
Mr. Xiong asked how many times does he need to come in.
Ms. Magner related some history of this case, Originally, on October 5, 2004, Orders were
issued on the yard, grass, vehicles and garage; the vehicle assessment has been settled. The issue
now is with the gazage. A Correction Notice was mailed out to paint the garage and repair a
broken window. There was no compiiance, so subsequently on December 9, 2004, the inspector
issued an Excessive Consumption charge ($50). On 7anuary 4, 2005, another Excessive
Consumption charge was issued ($75). There was also a tag issued. The owner appeared in
coust and pled guilty. He paid $100 fine. According to the inspector's note, the garage has been
painted and the window has been repaired, so, the City is sarisfied with compliance. There
remains the $50 charge and next month, the $75 charge (total: $125).
Ms. Moermond will recommend to the City Council approval of the $50 Excessive Consumption
charge and recommend to the Council that they delete the forthcoming $75 Excessive
Consumption charge.
Mr. Xiong responded that he has paid quite a few times; also, he was tagged and paid that fine.
He repaired the door a couple times, but because the door is a customized size, he cannot find
another one out there. Each time he asks someone to take a look to see if iYs compliant, they
charge him.
Ms. Moermond explained that this charge is for the inspector to come out and the work wasn't
done yet. She understands that when he went to court, they came up with a deadline. This is for
an inspection that happened prior to the court appearance. Looking at the record, she sees that
there was a substantial amount of money deleted from the vehicle assessment ($600 was
deleted). She will recommend to the Council that Mr. Xiong pay the $50 and that the $75 charge
be deleted. He can ga to City Council on August 3, 2005 to discuss that. It will be arranged for
a translator to be present.
Recommendation: Approval of the assessment ($50).
