October 17, 2006 Minutes of the Legislative Hearing
948 Euclid Avenue (J0604E)

Page 3
Mr. Robinson stated orders were issued on April 12, 2006 to remove furniture, refuse, tires and
an inoperable vehicle from the property with a compliance date of April 17, 2006. The properry
was re-inspected on April 17, Apri125, May 10 and June 10, 2006. The excessive consumption
charge was being assessed against the property for the three multiple re-inspecrions.
Hiram Johnson, property owner, stated he had not received the notices as he had just purchased
the property in January, 2006 on a Contract for Deed. He was notified by the previous owner,
Otis Courtney, of the notice he had received from the City to clean up the property. Mr.
Robinson confirmed that the norice had been sent to the previous owners, Chad and Lori
Christensen, Otis Courtney and Crystal Meyers.
Ms. Moermond questioned Mr. Johnson whether he had registered the Contract for Deed with
Ramsey County. Mr. Johnson responded he had not.
Ms. Moermond stated it was incumbent on the buyer to register the Contract for Deed, which did
require a filing fee, with the County which was why he did not receive the notices. Mr. Howard
stated that he did not have the money at this rime to pay the filing fee to register the deed and
suggested he likely would not have funds available to him until after the beginning of November.
Ms. Moermond recommended giving Mr. Johnson until November 9, 2006 to register the
Contract for Deed with Ramsey County. If he did so, she would recommend deleting the
assessment. If he failed to do so, she would recommend approving the assessment. She
recommended laying this matter over to the November 15 public hearing.
On November 13, 2006, Mr. Johnson contacted the Legislative Hearing Officer stating that he
had attempted to register the Contract for Deed with Ramsey County, however, the listed seller
of the property was incorrect on the deed and additional paperwork was required before the
property could be registered in his name. Ms. Moermond referred Mr. Johnson to Southern
Minnesota Legal Regionai Services (SMRLS) for assistance.
On January 8, 2007, Ms. Moermond had been in contact with SMRLS and they indicated all of
the necessary documentation had been corrected and had been filed with Ramsey County
Taxation indicaring Mr. Johnson as the legal owner of the property. Therefore, Ms. Moermond
recommended deleting the assessment.
