Mr. Robinson stated orders were issued on April 6, 2006 to remove and abandoned vehicle that
was parked on the grass and had expired tabs with a compliance date of Apri124, 2006. The
properry was re-inspected on May 1, 2006 and the vehicle had not been removed. An excessive
consumptlon of inspection services was iniriated due fo several inspections on various code
violations.
Steven Solie, property owner, stated he was in the Army Reserves and had been deployed to Iraq
from June, 2005 until his recent return in July, 2006 and during this time, he had received a
voluminous amount of paperwork from the Ciry. He provided proof of the orders from the Army
Reserves regarding his deployment. He had contacted the inspectors while he was gone
requesting to re-schedule compliance dates and hearing dates and he was denied his request. He
had received orders to provide trash hauling service which he had discontinued while he was
away so the City chazged him far providing a trash bin and pick up service. He had left the heat
and the water on while he was gone while he was gone even though no one was living at the
property. He then contacted his neighbors to look after the property and to make sure the lawn
was mowed. He was also ordered to remove boxes of siding that he had intended to use to re-
side his garage. He moved the boxes behind the shed which were out of view from anyane and
the City removed the boxes of siding which was a great financial loss to him.
Ms. Moermond suggested Mr. Solie file a claim against the City with the City Clerk's O�ce to
try to obtain the monetary loss for the siding. 5he suggested sbe would review the tas
assessments that occurred against his property while he was serving active duty in Iraq. She
would then talk to the Councilmember on scheduling another Legislative Hearing concerning
these assessments and make a determination on their outcome. She recommended deleting the
assessment for excessive consumption charge.
