Mr. Yannarelly presented a breakdown of the costs of the assessment a copy of which was given to Mr. Davis and Ms. Ji for their review. The demolition of the church occurred in January 2010 for a total assessment of $100,389.56. Mr. Davis stated that he personally believed that the city perpetrated a gross injustice on his congregation in that they were a church serving people of color and he believed they deserved the same rights and privileges as everyone else. It was his contention that the property should have been purchased by the city as part of the Central Corridor redevelopment of the area as every other surrounding property had been purchased as part of that project. Ms. Ji stated that it was her contention that the plan had always been to take this property for redevelopment of the Central Corridor for the lightrail project. The other three adjacent corners to this property had been taken by eminent domain and were being redeveloped as a higher-density use and she believed that the church had been ordered demolished by the city, not because it was a nuisance, but to use the corner for redevelopment. She believed the church deserved fair compensation for the value of the land so that they could purchase other property to continue serving their congregation at another location. The church had also been designated as one of the top 10 historical sites in the state which had been totally disregarded when the city proceeded with demolition. She also contended that if the building had been in such immediate danger of collapse, the city should not have allowed anyone to go into the building to retrieve artifacts prior to demolition. She did not believe the church should be responsible for the cost of the demolition. Mr. Davis contended that he, on behalf of the congregation, did not have the opportunity to retrieve any of the religious artifacts. Ms. Moermond responded that when a bid was awarded to a demolition contractor, the contractor was entitled to the entire property including the contents contained in any structure. In this case, it was her understanding that the stained glass windows, the pews and the sacristy were all retrieved by church members prior to demolition. Mr. Davis agreed that the windows had been retrieved; however, he did not believe any other religious artifacts had been taken prior to demolition. Ms. Moermond also stated that prior to demolition, the property had been historically documented and photographs had been taken for archival purposes. It was her understanding that the church had failed to file the appropriate paperwork with the state for historical designation. It was also her understanding that the church had relocated their congregation some time ago given the dilapidated condition of the church and was pursuing purchasing another building. Mr. Davis responded that they church had been meeting at another location; however, the purchase of another building had not materialized as they did not have available financing and had an outstanding mortgage of approximately $56,000. Ms. Moermond stated that the building was indeed dangerous, was a nuisance and needed to come down. Since the church could not afford to repair the building or the cost of the demolition, the city undertook the demolition which she determined was a valid assessment; therefore, she lo•q�� August 3, 2010 Legislative Hearing Minutes Page 11 recommended approving the assessment. She suggested they have the parcel appraised for possible future sale in order to recoup their costs to pay off the outstanding mortgage and cost for the demolition of the building. 507 Dale St N Vendor Purpose Pav Authoritv Invoice # Amt Subtotal Total Proiect Paid 10/05/09 Highway Technologies barricading services Master Contract #C-26731 354070-001 $780.54 Paid 11/16/09 Highway Technologies barricadirlg services Master Contract #C-26731 354070-002 $678.49 Paid 12/02/09 Highway Technologies barricading services Master Contract #C-26731 354070-003 $773.60 Paid 02f04/10 Highway Technologies barricading services Master Contract #C-26731 354070-004 $773.60 Paid 02/11/10 Highway Technologies barricading services Master Contract #C-26731 354070-005 $101.79 Paid 02/18/10 Highway Technologies barricading services Master Contract #C-26731 354070-006 $725.25 $ 3,833.27 Paid 08/28/09 Able Fencing temporary fence Master Contract #C-27487 296111 $1,496.25 $ 1,496.25 Paid 01/07/10 Legend Technical Services asbestos/haz mat abatement PO 24489 0903928 $2,891.50 $ 2,891.50 Pending Frattalone demolition PO 24444 1002055 $77,550.00 Pendi�ng Frattalone - additional work additional work PO 24444 1002055 $15,373.96 $92,923.96 , Total Project Cost: $101,144.98 Already Assessed (Inv# 354070-003 plus adm fees) ( $895.42 ) Balance Due to be Assessed: $ 100,249.56 v � � - � al� 12:07:04 7/22/2010 Public Improvement Assessment Roll by Address Project: J1005C1 Assmt: 108942 Manager: TJT Page 1 Ratification Date: Resolution #: Owner or Taxp�ver Pro e�rt,v Descri tion Item Descri tion Unit Rate nti Charge Amts Proper ID Rock Of Ages Missionary Bapti SYNDICATENO. 1 ADDITION PART Demolition 1.00 100,249.56 $100,249.56 3�29-23-14-0206 507 Dale St N OF LOTS 1 AND 2 N OF L RUN FROM DSI Admin Fee 115.00 1.00 $115.00 PT ON E L OF ANp 55 12/100 FT S Real Estate Admin Fee 20.00 1.00 $20.00 St Paul MN 55103-1914 FROM NE COR OF SD LOT 1 TO PT ON *507 DALE ST N W L OF AND 55 4/1 O FT S FROM NW Attorney Fee 5.00 1.00 $5.00 * Waza: 1 COR OF SD LOT 2 BLK 1 $1 �0 ,389.56 *Pending as of: 7/22/2010 *** Owner and Taxpayer *** •i PLEASE NOTE " Total Demolition: $100,249.56 Total DSI Admin Fee: $115.00 Total Real Estate Admin Fee: $20.00 Total Attorney Fee: $5.00 Project TotaL• $100,389.56 1.Parcel(s) . 0 Exempt Parcel(s) ' i � � � � StPaul Hearing List Assessment 10-918 �� I�1uf�IC�>NCJMB�R �''� „ �' O lt�l .� .A IV !

The following are the additive items and explanations of why we feel a contract adjustment is warranted: Water bill: $282.02 This bill was the close out water bill on the church service. It had to be paid before the water department would sign off on the demolition permit. We paid t�is fee. Copy of the $256.38 receipt is attached. The amount requested is our out of pocket cost plus 10% for overhead and profit. Gifted chemical disposal: $2,700.50 There was a substantial amount of chemicals that appeared in the basement of the church that had nothing to do with the building being removed. Paint, solvents, other chemicals and hazardous wastes were "gifted". J&J spent additional time removing, packaging, and disposing of these items. A copy of their $2,455.00 invoice is attached. The amount requested is our out of pocket cost plus 10% for overhead and profit. Egress stair $10,192.80 Per th� contr�ct w� w�re responsihle_t� pravide a means of egress from thexear door newly exposed by the link demolition. We intended on providing a simple stairway/ earthen ramp. However, The Saint Paul Building Inspector stopped by during demolition and said the stair had to meet city code including frost footings, double rails, closed risers and an exterior and interior light. This is far in excess of what we anticipated but we had Viking Construction build the stairway per the inspector's requirements and have recently received approval. A copy of Viking's $9,266.18 invoice is attached. The amount requested is our out of pocket cost plus 10% for overhead and profit. Additional closure work $1,488.31 There was a concealed stairway between the church and the adjacent former school just to the west of the service door. This stairway descended into the former school. The space was not accessible during the pre bid walk and was discovered only when a chunk 3ZOS SD�UCP_ Stl'PPt St (�Aiil Mnl riS117 .

The doorway between the link and the former school had been covered over with sheetrock. We had to carefully remove the debris that had fallen into the space and block up this unforeseen opening. It took two laborers one day to clear out the opening, install dowels and block up the opening. Our material costs for the block was $125.74 (plus 10%) and our labor was 18 hrs @ 75.00 for a total amount of $1,488.31. Waterproofing $710.33 We intended on waterproofmg only the infill areas. However, building inspector required that we waterproof the entire area. We installed Miraclay Bentonite Mat to the foundation wa11 and backfilled along the wa11 with free draining sand. This is far in excess of what we anticipated. We request compensation for the Miraclay Bentonite. A copy of the $647.75 invoice is attached. T'he amount requested is our out of pocket cost plus 10% for overhead and profit. Our total request is $15, 373.96 for a fmal contract value of $92,923.96 ou for your consideration. /,,, ._ --... , Wutzke ivision Manager ; ,�'" Demolition/Environmental ' , ` r alone Companies Inc.
