Tbe properry was re-inspected on October 3 and the windows were still open. A work order was sent to the City's boarding contractor who boarded the two windows on October 4, 2006. The orders were mailed to Ann Krebes, c/o Randolph Properties, PO Box 17091, Minneapoiis and no mail was returned. Ms. Moermond asked Ms. Krebes whether she received her mail. Ann Krebes, properiy owner, stated she probably received the notices late as she did not pick up her mail every day. She stated that the reason the windows were open was because they were windows to the furnace room and she was concerned about carbon monoxide. When she talked to the inspector, Mr. Senty, he indicated to her that she could remove the boards from the windows. She claimed that when the boards were installed, glass was broken out of one of the windows and they put screws into the metal frames wl�ich ruined the frames. Ms. Moermond stated she was not concerned about carbon monoxide in the building since it was vacant and there were better ways of venting a furnace rather than keeping the windows opened. She was concerned, however, that anyone could break anto the building and start a fire. Ms. Moermond asked Mr. Betz if there were any notes in the file conceming conversations between the inspector and Ms. Krebes. Mr. Betz reviewed the file and said the inspector indicated there were some exchanges of voicemail messages between himself and Ms. Krebes and Ms. Krebes and the inspector finally spoke on October 9 which was after the boarding took place. The notes by the inspector in the file indicated that he was aware of the condirion of the windows and that they needed to be secure from trespass. Ms. Moermond recommended approving the assessments in the amount of $97 each for the boarding at both properties. She instructed Ms. Krebes that if she believed she had a claim against the City for the boarding and any property damage to the windows, she should file a claim with the City Clerk. o �-a7� •i � � a m a 4 a � � ri ri M � � E E � � � 0 0 0 0 N .�i �� , I � 1 � Q 1 ay 1 ei H i O i O .ti � C i C F� N i N i x � m ��, ��, a � ro r �v O� i fk � m i m W � N � [V I � Q1 1 T � O i Q Cn � O O O II O � O O O II O E� o 0 o il o i o 0 o n o z� .�� .�� o� n o o n c� � i- o o n � i O� NIf1N II Ol � Nlf1N II 01 � � �� II � i N�N II � II i II a� ii ii o , n � n F � n n U � 11 II i � � II II W � II �i II �I U] � o O o 0 0 0 E� O O O i O O O H � O O O I O O O 'z.� I 000 I 000 � 1 1 h r{ �y I r r-� ri p.' � N i N O i F U� 4 i i W i W�000 �000 Ei000 i000 � a' o00 � o0o i rz � � i .10o i ,yoo F � �N u1N � H i z� � J � i i i i i i t i W i W U' C� i W CG � w�a �c �a �C � io x �D x z � c�w� � c�w� � �zww �zww alH U �H U o�qz� �az� � H�aH> �a�> a�oAw �oAw � w � roa�n � wr.Cw � i i i i � i i i � � � � x x �� x � z�a a �x a ��a C° �a �° � a' a � ..o ; x, N•.�o N i W W'� i W W� i C4 � F •FEm i E z •EHa� oi � w�z°z� � wZ°z� � C] FC£O W� FC�Q W ti E�£.7� W r�i i�.]�W ti i w � m��a, � m��w° a �-a a -a xt � o�a m> �a m� a�a •Fa7 ,a •E++> w i t+E O 2 � HE O z � �xma � �xma � � � � � � � � � i i � I b � '�i O I .'l�' O ; � (�1 1 P, I � r7 N � A N � �O NiO N I Q r Q 1 WN�z WNi !x ,y > ,y i FC ti > N W� m FC fL' m r.G i ��O o�W�O oxW� x a�� ao�� ao� �G � � oa Om � U o�OCn � ; U] U1 h ifl i H W w�u� � wwtiv�i � a� w� a�c� � w� c� � ° �aao� a z�aao� �� x�xww �q�xww �ca� z�zooamw�zooamw� a a atia� a a�a� O� a w� x« a a��+� 0 0 0 11 0 0 0 o n o • ii - Coo Ild� Ln o C II Ol Ur ri Lt II ri m u +n II II II II fi W II L7 II Ee u �WU11 zwwiia t' U II � R.'H� II O FC E cx u E+ O O W n roam n Ei aaaiiw r.� rs r� n r� EE.E ii O �FE�i ii a � a w U � Q, W W W 0 � W c� � W N
