Regular City Council Meeting Monday,August 26, 2019 Page 11 about whether the Council would take up some of the fees that were paid for the Interim Use process. He recalled discussion about delaying payment of the Inter- im Use Fee until the end of the term or such time there was something put into code that addressed the issue. He was not sure if the payment was delayed or if the churches made the payments anyway. Mayor Roe asked if the Council want- ed to do anything in terms of relief to those applicants based on having discussed the desire to do that earlier. One option that crossed his mind was to refund the difference between the license fee and interim use fee as a possibility. Councilmember Groff supported reducing the fee to $350 and thought that was fair. He thought the churches are doing a good service and the only consideration he would have is how much money was spent because a different process was done. Ms. Gundlach indicated she was not prepared to speak to that. Staff could go back and figure out how much time was spent, and come to the Council with a recom- mendation for a reasonable for a reduction. The Council agreed to take the matter up at a future meeting. e. Consideration of a Request to Perform an Abatement for Unresolved Viola- tions of City Code at 1986 Ryan Ave Community Development Director Janice Gundlach briefly highlighted this item as detailed in the Request for Council Action and related attachments dated Au- gust 26, 2019. Mayor Roe asked if the owner is also dealing with the licensing of the vehicle to get the correct tabs on. Ms. Gundlach explained the owner did not tell her he was trying to do that. He is working to get this changed to a recreational vehicle and does not want to pay the tabs until he has gone through that process. She encouraged the Council to ap- prove the abatement but stay it until Wednesday or Thursday in order to give the owner a chance to move the vehicle. Mayor Roe offered an opportunity for public comment, with no one coming for- ward. Etten moved, Groff seconded, directing Community Development Staff to abate the public nuisance violations at 1986 Ryan Avenue, staying the enforcement un- til August 29, 2019. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus, Laliberte, Groff, Etten, and Roe. Nays: None.
