Inspector Essling reported that 936 Westminster is a Summary Abatement Order for removing brush. The Order was mailed September 29, 2010 with a compliance date of October 11, 2010.

Ms. Moermond stated that the obligation of the City is to send the Notices to the address on record at Ramsey County Tax Records....
