Legislative Hearing Notes March 2, 2011
 
Tina Lee appeared.
 
Inspector Essling reported that the assessment for 874 Edmund is for four (4) weeks of weekly refuse removal.  (The total period is 28 weeks from September 30, 2010 through January 1, 2011.)  More assessments are pending; the City is no longer providing services.  Orders were mailed September 30, 2010 with a compliance date of October 5, 2010.  It was re-checked on October 6, 2010 and found to be in non-compliance.  A Work Order was sent to Parks.  The cost is $200 plus a service charge of $25 for a total of $225.
 
Ms. Lee stated that she has owned the property since April 2010.  She didn't get these Notices until February and she doesn't know which assessment is for what.  The county does not have her registered for 874 Edmund.  When she contacted the title company, they told her that they had 874 Edmund registered in her name although they don't seem to.  All Notices came to 1136 Albemarle although she has never lived there.
 
Ms. Moermond stated that the title company must have filled in the wrong address.  She will lay this matter over for two (2) weeks to get this straightened out.
 
Mr. Essling stated that the Notice was sent to Tina Lee, 874 Edmund, the Occupant and Tina Lee, 1136 Albemarle Street.  Ms. Lee lives at 1512 North 15th Avenue, Wausau, WI 54401; 874 Edmund is a rental property.  It had been a HUD house.  He instructed Ms. Lee to contact Maynard Vinge, 266-9057, to ensure that the City has her correct address.  There are three (3) assessments for clean-up; and the rest are for hauling.  Between June 1 and June 9, 2010, there was a clean-up for $545; between September 30 adn October 27, there was a clean-up for $456.  
 
Ms. Moermond will recommend a two (2) - week layover to March 15, 2010 to sort things out.
