<br />City Council Meeting MiQ.utes <br />June 13,2001 <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked Mr. March to make sure that Ms. Baron has all the <br />information from her folder. Mr. March agreed to do so. <br /> <br />Ms. Baron indicated she had intended to ask for a second inspection. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra asked if residents are usually present for inspections. <br /> <br />Mr. March noted that, in reviewing the Barons' file, he discovered the City has sent out <br />11 notices in regards to ordinance violations over the last 13 years. He noted there were <br />more prior to his arrival the City. He then noted that Mr. Palzer and an officer viewed the <br />property from the street because Mr. Palzer had called twice to schedule the inspection <br />and was unable to reach the Barons. He further noted that when the officer viewed the <br />property, it was at his discretion whether or not to issue the citation and he felt the <br />citation should be issued. <br /> <br />Ms. Baron questioned the City's intent regarding the 40 (forty) residences on the list she <br />had provided. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoeft stated that, if Ms. Baron desires to make complaints against the 40 (forty) <br />residences, then the information would be forwarded on to Mr. Palzer or an officer to <br />view the properties. <br /> <br />Ms. Baron indicated she is concerned that she and her husband are not being treated the <br />samewayas any other citizen in the community. She then noted that, ifit is not okay for <br />them, it is not okay for the other properties. <br /> <br />Mayor Swedberg questioned the period of time the Barons would have to resolve the <br />matter prior to going to court. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoeft explained that there is an ample amount of time between the issuance of a <br />citation and the start of a jury trial. <br /> <br />Council Member Capra questioned the possibility of resolving the matter prior to going <br />to court. She then questioned who would determine what resolution would be required. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoeft indicated that, if at this point in time the Barons have a proposal for bringing <br />the property into compliance, they should propose it to his office either before their first <br />appearance, at the appearance, or after the appearance. He then noted he would forward <br />the proposal to Mr. March for Council consideration and, if the proposal is adequate, the <br />action would be suspended. <br /> <br />Mr. Hoeft indicated that he would not receive any information on the file until the first <br />appearance. He then noted it might be possible to obtain information from Mr. March if <br />the Barons wished to discuss the matter prior to the first appearance. <br /> <br />Ms. Baron indicated it would be helpful to them to know what the problem was. <br /> <br />Page 10 of25 <br />
