RE: 579 Bidwell Street
Karl Mueller, Forestry, reported that her received a letter from Michael McCoy saying that he was flyer but never got a follow-up letter. The letter was sent to Scotts Bluff, Nebraska. Ms. Moermond noted that was MERS, a clearing house for land titles. She asked if the City knew when Mr. McCoy acquired the property. Mr. Mueller said, "No." He said the tree was marked and flyered on July 26, 2010; the letter was sent July 30, 2010. The tree was removed February 4, 2011. Mr. Mueller added that they had been using Triton to locate owner information; however, he learned after a while that they were no longer updating their information. Currently, they are using STAMP.
After researching the tax records, Ms. Moermond stated that the letter went to the wrong party. She will recommend the assessment be deleted.
