�� �i` I�EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: June 25, 2012 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Patrick Klaers, City Administrator FROM: Sue Iverson, Director of Finance and Administrative Services SUBJECT: Recovery of Costs for 1415 Glenhill Road Back�round The County declared the property to be a public health nuisance and ordered the removal of cat feces and urine. T'his included the removal of animals per the City's Animal Control Regulations. The City is allowed to recover the fees related to this abatement. We have sent,a bill for the costs to the property owner and she has informed us that she refuses to pay this bill. We are now proceeding to use the legal remedies available to us to recover these expenses. This issue was originally scheduled for public hearing on June 11, 2012, but due to some confusion regarding proper notice, the June 1 lth hearing was not held. Discussion The process to recover these fees is similar to the 429 process we use for special assessments on road construction projects. The first step in this process is to call for a public hearing. Our Attorney, Jerry Filla, has prepared a letter outlining the process and will be in aftendance at the meeting to answer any questions. Staff Recommendation A motion to adopt Resolution 2012-020, calling for a public hearing on July 30, 2012, for the recovery of costs related to Animal Control Regulation costs at 1415 Glenhill Road.
