<br />City of Centerville <br />July 24, 2002 <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked if it was a bad idea to have a regular citizen go on the property <br />and start trimming things up. City Attorney Hoeft indicated that would not be a good <br />idea. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked whether Staff has the right to take pictures and be on the <br />property. City Attorney Hoeft indicated he did not know if anyone has been on the <br />property but said Staff should always have permission before entering onto someone's <br />private property if they are not on an easement. <br /> <br />Motion bv Council Member Broussard Vickers, seconded bv Council Member <br />Nelson to direct the City Attornev to Prepare an Administrative Search Warrant for <br />the Moreland Property. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis said he does not thiuk the City has followed the proper <br />procedures to go to this extreme. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated Council would be voting to look at it. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis indicated the property is not a good situation but he thinks this is <br />jumping too far ahead. <br /> <br />Council Member Broussard Vickers commented that the City has been in there two times <br />and she is not altogether certain that requesting a clean up by the individual would be <br />effective. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis said that, procedurally, he thinks the City should do that. He <br />then asked if she had been notified of any code violations. <br /> <br />Council Member Nelson asked ifthere is a file on this property. <br /> <br />Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated that every property in town has a file but she is not sure what <br />documentation there is. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg asked if there is any belief that the person is not alive. Council <br />Member Nelson indicated she is alive. Ms. Moore-Sykes indicated there has been recent <br />contact. <br /> <br />Council Member Travis said he thinks this is too extreme to start with and he does not <br />think the City is following the proper procedure. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra indicated she agreed but has not been through the history so <br />would like to know what notices have been sent and what has been done. She then said <br />that she would be willing to vote on starting the process and not doing the search warrant <br />right now. <br /> <br />Page 14 of22 <br />
