Regular City Council Meeting <br /> Monday, May 6, 2019 <br /> Page 9 <br /> would be opportunities throughout the process to reach an agreement or resolution <br /> mutually agreeable by the parties. He reported his office has done this before for <br /> this property and for other properties of controversy within the City with success, <br /> stating it is a relatively straight forward process. <br /> Mayor Roe asked if there was any discussion by staff that if compliance isn't <br /> reached by a certain date to go ahead with the process or was the intention to go <br /> ahead with the process and at least start the citation process because of the time <br /> involved with it. <br /> Mr. Englund stated the latter was correct. <br /> Councilmember Willmus asked if the City were to abate this versus the court cita- <br /> tion, how long would it take to conduct a cleanup and what expense would be <br /> passed on to the property owner? <br /> Mr. Englund replied it would potentially take weeks with probably impounding <br /> and storing some of the items.

There are some corrections that need to be made before that is fi- <br /> nally completed. The motorcycle has current tabs that are registered. Those are <br /> the extent of corrections that he was aware of <br /> Councilmember Etten asked if the landscape block fence that knocked down the <br /> other fence is something that would be an additional item for future notice. <br /> Mr. Englund stated it potentially could be. He noted that was an item that was in- <br /> stalled completely on the private property. The danger to the public at that point <br /> is not there and City Staff decided not to address it at this time. <br /> Councilmember Etten asked in regard to the fencing installed over the property <br /> line, is that part of the required fixing before final certification of the new fence. <br /> Mr. Englund indicated the City is trying to work with the property owner to the <br /> west to determine if the property owner is in disagreement with the fence being <br />
