A court citation would not result in additional cost for the City as the prosecuting <br />attorney performs these cases as part of their contract. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Council direct Community Development staff to proceed with a Ramsey <br />County Court Citation to ensure the property owner abates the above referenced public nuisance <br />violations as soon as possible. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
