Regular City Council Meeting Monday, January 28, 2008 Page 17 Roseville Codes Coordinator Don Munson and Roseville Code Enforcement Offi- cer Rick Talbot reviewed the requested Council action to resolve public nuisance violations on property located at 939 County Road B-2; and provided photo- graphic evidence of those nuisance issues. Discussion included siding materials, and whether painting would suffice, with staff opining that it appeared to be cedar siding and with power washing, should hold the paint; attempts to provide assistant to the homeowner through the Hous- ing Resource Center and other agencies, and estimated costs between $4,500 - $6,500 in actual and administrative costs, with work to be done in April or May of 2008, unless completed by the property owner prior to that time. Further discussion included assessment to the property for work completed if that option was chosen by the property owner; financial status of and potential ramifi- cations to the property owner; possible involvement in the future of the HRA in the abatement process; and staffs candid, yet unsuccessful discussions to-date with the property owner, as well as with neighboring property owners, seeking their support and patience. Mayor Klausing opened the Public Hearing at 8:13 p.m Public Comment John Kysylyczyn, 3083 N Victoria Mr. Kysylyczyn expressed pleasure for the departments' willingness to go this route to take care of this issue, rather than past practice of going through the Ram- sey County court system. Mr. Kysylyczyn opined that this would provide a de- finitive date for completion; and that taxpayers would be reimbursed actual and administrative charges through a seemingly fair assessment program. Mayor Klausing closed the Public Hearing at 8:15 p.m. Roe moved, Pust seconded, authorizing staff to abate the public nuisance viola- tions at 939 County Road B-2, by hiring contractors to: remove all junk/debris from the yard, remove the vehicle and repaint the exterior of the structure; with the property owner to be billed for actual and administrative costs, and if charges are not paid, staff is to recover costs as specified in Section 407.07B, with costs to be reported to the City Council following said abatement, as detailed in the staff report dated January 28, 2008. Roll Call Ayes: Pust; Roe; Ihlan; and Klausing. Nays: None.
