Regular City Council Meeting Monday, February 14, 2011 Page 13 Further discussion included rationale for not performing commercial or residential properties higher than four (4) units based on HRA funding priorities that were currently focused on smaller residential properties. Councilmember Pust, in her role as HRA Member/Council Liaison, noted that HRA functions and funds were not limited to residential properties; and that fu- ture discussions may indicate moving in that direction; however, at this time the HRA had not directed staff accordingly. Councilmember Johnson noted that nuisance properties represented a substantial number of comments that he estimated at 50% and had received when campaign- ing for the City Council in 2008; and expressed encouragement by the positive trends and statistics indicated. Councilmember Johnson expressed curiosity in hearing from most recently-elected Councilmembers on their experiences with similar comments during last year's campaign. Councilmember Willmus indicated that it remained a frequently-expressed com- ment, not as high as 50%, but estimated at between 10-15%, and he saw that de- creased complaint as a direct result of greater education with the NEP program. Mayor Roe opined his surprise in seeing the reduced trend in violations given the increasing trend in foreclosures; noting that he had anticipated that the trend would point in a more negative direction. In conclusion, Mr. Munson reviewed a status report of 2010 Abatement and Court Citation Cases; and 2010 Abatement Billings. 11.
