Both Imagine Roseville 2025 and the City's 2030 Comprehensive Plan <br />support property maintenance as a means by which to achieve neighborhood stability. The Housing <br />� section of Imagine Roseville suggests that the City "implement programs to ensure safe and well- <br />maintained properties." In addition, the Land Use chapter (Chapter 3) and the Housing and <br />Neighborhoods chapter (Chapter 6) of the Comprehensive Plan support the City's efforts to maintain <br />livability of the City's residential neighborhoods with specific policies related to property maintenance <br />� and code compliance. Policy 61 of Chapter 3 states that the City should promote maintenance and <br />� reinvestment in housing and Policy 2.6 of Chapter 6 guides the City to use code-compliance activities as <br />one method to prevent neighborhood decline. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />City Abatement: <br />An abatement would encompass the following: <br />Removal and storage of household items <br />Repair of tire <br />Total: <br />$500.00 <br />$200.00 <br />$700.00 <br />In the short term, costs of the abatement will be paid out of the HRA budget, which has allocated <br />$100,000 for abatement activities. The property owner will then be billed for actual and administrative <br />costs. If charges are not paid, staff is to recover costs as specified in Section 407.07B. Costs will be <br />reported to Council following the abatement. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
