Mr. Essling stated orders were issued on Apri19, 2009 to remove two vehicles with expired tabs
from the property with a compliance date of Apri120. The property was re-inspected and was not in
compliance. A work order was sent to the St. Paul Police Department who had the vehicles towed
from the property for a total assessment of $413.
Ms. Moermond noted from the letter submitted by Hugh Hadlund, Prime Security Bank, that the
bank took ownership of the property on a cancellation of the contract for deed on November 16,
2009. He requested the assessment be reduced. Ms. Moermond stated that the tax assessment went
with the property and recommended approving the assessment.
756 Hovt Avenue East (J0917A)
Obtain a report from the inspector and view the video; special hearing scheduled for February 3 as
the property owner, Ambasager Abraham, could not attend a hearing on a Tuesday and requested a
Tigrinya translator.
Mr. Essling stated orders were issued on July 28, 2009 to remove brush and debris under the tree in
the southeast corner of the back yard and scattered throughout the yard with a compliance date of
August 4. The property was re-inspected on August 5 and was not in compliance. A work order
was sent to Parks who did the clean up on August 10 2009 for a total assessment of $447.
Ms. Moermond asked to see the video which showed some minute, organized piles of brush in the
yard which were removed by Parks. After discussion with staff and thoughtful consideration, Ms.
Moermond recommended deleting the assessment and canceling the special hearing scheduled for
February 3.

Subject: Appealing Assessments
Dear Legislative Hearing Officer,
I would greatly appreciate your consideration of my request that the dollar amount due on
the following Assessments be reconsidered:
Assessed Amount
* 30904V $413.00
* J0920G $225.00
* J0922A $419.00
Total Assessment: $1,057.00
I am asking that you kindly consider reducing the proposed assessments in light of the
fact that the services provided occurred prior to Prime Security Bank taking ownership
through Deed in Lieu & Cancellation of a Contract For Deed (Contact for Deed was
cancelled on or about 11/16/09).
While I would greatly appreciate the net assessments being reduced to $250.00 I will
respect the decision you make concerning my request.
I have attached copies of the Public Hearing Notice Ratification of Assessment
documents for the three referenced assessments.
Thank you for your consideration and please contact me if I can provide additional
information or you wish to discuss my request.
Sincerely,
Hugh Hadlund
