Hello Mark, Thank you for getting back to me, a couple of things. First and foremost we want the City to be aware that we have had extreme difficulty working with new tenant. When tenant leased the space it was completely understood that any necessary improvements were the sole responsibility of tenant and all required permitting and construction were at tenants cost. Tenant has blatantly miss lead us by telling us he had permitted work done and applied and paid for permits. After you brought said items to our attention last week we spoke with tenant and he stated it will be taken care of, as of today he is not corresponding. If the City needs to tag him and shut down his operation that's out of our hands. He's not paying bills and running his operation outside of rules and regulations. We gave multiple months off rent off of lease so he had the extra funds to handle his project, we just don't understand this tenant. The concrete project is colored brushed decorative, the color was chosen by contractor to best match streetscape coloring down the road. The gutter was run through concrete for esthetic beauty not on top, steps to building were are newly poured and color painted to match building trim at entrance. The stamping was eliminated after conversations of small decorative furniture's small legs catching in stamped groves (imagine small boutique rod iron chairs) and maybe tipping sideways. Contractor suggested smooth brushed finish. We feel it was a major improvement at nearly $12,000 and we're really counting on Grant funds, lacking Grant funds would cause a significant financial burden to us. Thank you in advance for all considerations, *0.
