Background On September 23, 2019, the Council approved Resolution 2019-028 ordering accelerated nuisance abatement of 1870 Glen Paul Avenue for excessive vegetation growth and debris not in compliance with City regulations. The resolution authorized the City to have the necessary work completed to remediate the nuisance(s) and charge 125% of the cost of the work, including administrative costs, back to the property owner. The charge to complete the work plus administrative costs is $2,500. The property owner was notified by mail in a letter dated November 6, 2019, and given thirty (30) days to remit payment. The letter also served as the notice of this public hearing and informed the property owner of the option to make payment of the entire special assessment without interest within 30 days after its adoption and if not paid within that thirty (30) days, interest will accrue at 4.5% per annum. To date payment has not been received; therefore, the City intends to certify these charges to Ramsey County to be collected with property taxes. The property owner has the right to a hearing in front of the City Council to discuss this matter prior to certification. Page 1 of 1
