ATTACHMENT F An Annotated History of the Prince of Peace Interim Sacred Settlement 5 Near the conclusion of the meeting, Ms. Gundlach described being prepared to hand us a letter that described all of this and included an invitation to appeal this ruling. She handed me a hard copy of the appeal procedures which stipulated that we would have 10 days to request an appeal of her department’s ruling. I asked her if she had to present us the letter that day. She agreed that she didn’t have to and was willing to hold off until after updating her supervisor at City Hall. At the conclusion of the meeting Ms. Gundlach was given a tour of the RVs/tiny homes. Feb. 1, 2023 I received an email from Ms. Gundlach that included an attached letter from Pat Trudgeon describing the ruling they had made and the invitation to request an appeal. A hard copy of the letter arrived via USPS several days later. Feb. 10, 2023 We submitted our notice of request for appeal, handing it to the receptionist in the lobby of City Hall. I neglected to include the $100 filing fee and corresponded with Mr. Trudgeon via email, receiving permission to submit the fee on Monday, Feb. 13. Feb. 13, 2023 The fee was submitted in person at City Hall, and a receipt was emailed to us. Feb. 14, 2023 we received notice via email that a hearing will be on the agenda of the City Council meeting on Monday, Mar. 6. Feb. 16, 2023 In an effort to be more strategic in developing the specifics of our appeal, I reached out via email to Ms. Gundlach and asked for her guidance on what she anticipated as being the most likely pathway forward in developing a shared strategy for caring for ourhomeless neighbors. Feb. 23, 2023 After somevoicemail tag, I eventually reconnected via email. In her reply to me, Ms. Gundlach cc’d Pat Trudgeon, to which he provided a follow-up email to me. In this email, Mr. Trudgeon stated, “it is best to hold off on the conversations regarding your questions until after the City Council decision on your appeal at their March 6 meeting. We would have been happy to discuss all of the matters that you raised in the email before you entered into the agreement with Sacred Settlement and the units were set up on your property. That action forced us into a very difficult position and we had to immediately go into enforcement mode once we learned of the presence of the units giventhe serious zoning and code violations with the micro-units. We certainly wished the church and/or Sacred Settlement would have reached out to us first and we could have had a much more productive discussion about the matter.”
