Q�-�i_
1674 Fifth Street East (J0709A)
Refened back from Council at the August I S Public Hearing.
Mr. Betz stated orders were issued on May 17, 2007 to mow tall grass and weeds with a compliance
date of May 21. The properiy was re-inspected on May 22 and the lawn had not been mowed. A work
order was sent to the Parks Deparhnent who mowed the lawn on May 25, 2007 for a total assessment
of $230.
Rikk Sorenson, property owner, stated that the property was in foreclosure and he had purchased at on
May 31, 2007. The lawn mowing occurred priar to his purchase and when the title company did a
seazch on May 30, they did not find any pending assessments. He did not believe he should be
responsible for the assessment.
Ms. Moermond asked whether anyone was currently living at the property. Mr. Sorenson responded
that there were tenants living at the property.
Ms. Moermond stated that the wark had been done very close to the time of his purchase of the
property which would not have shown up as a pending assessment, however, the assessment went with
the property and not the owner. Ms. Moermond asked who the orders were mailed to.
Mr. Betz responded that orders were mailed to Lynette Adkins at 8777 Tom Noon Avenue #103 in Las
Vegas as well as to the occupant of the property. The mail sent to the occupant was returned, however,
no mail was returned from Ms. Adkins. Mr. Sorenson stated that she was the former owner of the
property, however, he had never met her.
Ms. Moermond questioned whether the bank owned the property at the time of purchase. Mr.
Sorenson responded that the property was in foreclosure, however, the bank did not own it at the time
he purchased the property.
DuffKrueger appeared and stated that he was part owner of the property and asked that the assessment
be reduced as he believed it was excessive and they did not ovm the property at the time the orders had
beenissued.
Ms. Moernlond stated that the seller should have indicated at the time of closing that there had been an
order to mow the lawn which obviously did not happen. Since the legal owner of the property had
been notified, she recommended approving the assessment.

Mr. Betz stated orders were issued on May 14, 2007 to provide proof of garbage hauling service with a
compliance date of May 20. The property was re-inspected on May 22 and the property owner had not
complied. A work order was sent to the Parks Department who dropped off a container at the property
on May 30. Garbage service commenced on May 30 and was discontinued on June 30, 2007 for a total
assessment of $270.
Long Xiong, properiy owner, stated that he wanted the container removed from his properiy as he took
90 percent of his trash to be removed at his business.
Ms. Moermond questioned whether there was a history of complaints at this property. Mr. Betz
responded that there was a significant history with the former owner of the property.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would consult with the City Attorney's Office to see if it was legal to
not have trash hauling service at his personal residence since he took his garbage to be removed at his
piace of business.
Ms. Moermond's stated her recommendation would be forthcoming.
Ms. Moermond reviewed the Legislative Code and found that there was no provision for providing a
waiver for garbage hauling service to residential property owners in cases where the owner took there
garbage to their place of business for hauling. Therefore, she recommended approving the assessment
and spreading the payments over three years.
