Regular City Council Meeting Monday, September 24, 2007 Minutes Page 19 and attempts of the owner to comply, with some specific repairs having been completed. Mr. Munson noted that several outstanding maintenance issues re- mained as evidenced in an updated inspection earlier today, and asked for Council direction to staff to work with the City's Prosecuting Attorney to provide Ramsey County Court Citation to the owner if remaining violations of the City Code listed violations was not corrected by October 15, 2007. Property Owner, Matt Medick, 2424 Dale Street (Residence at 9479 Rose- wood Lane, Maple Grove, MN) Mr. Medick assured Councilmembers that is was his intent to complete remaining maintenance issues on this rental property as soon as possible. Mayor Klausing asked, and Mr. Medick responded affirmatively that he was com- fortable with the items identified by staff, their deadline for compliance, and his ability to complete those maintenance issues. Councilmember Pust questioned if Mr. Medick owned any other properties in Roseville; with Mr. Medick responding negatively. Councilmember Roe questioned if Mr. Medick had been prepared to bring this property up to code when purchasing the property. Mr. Medick responded that he had been unaware of all of the City's necessary provisions. Councilmember Roe further noted concerns from a neighbor raised at a recent Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) meeting related to interior issues, and questioned if Mr. Medick was dealing with those issues as well. Mr. Medick responded affirmatively. Klausing moved, Ihlan seconded, authorizing staff to work with the City's Prose- cuting Attorney to cite (Ramsey County Court Citation) the owner for violations of the City Code if listed violations are not corrected by October 15, 2007. Public Comment John Kysylyczyn, 3083 N Victoria Street Mr. Kysylyczyn advised that he had e-mailed several Councilmembers with his general comments on this issue; and questioned the common sense and wisdom of putting the City in a position of ridicule in attempting a Ramsey County court Ci- tation at this time, given pending weather changes, and the potential inability or unwillingness of the owner to comply before winter weather created additional is- sues.
