LEGISLATIVE HEARING DISCUSSION ITEMS

Ratifying the Appealed Special Tax Assessment for property at 671 COOK

RLH TA 25-159

AVENUE EAST. (File No. J2516R, Assessment No. 258527)

Assessment ratified and made payable over 5 years.

Patrick Nguyen, property owner, appeared in person

Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: This is an assessment stemming from

an order to clean up the property on December 23, 2024. The deadline was December

30. A recheck was done on December 31 and the work was not completed. A cleanup

was executed on January 3. The original order is on the screen in front of you. The

photo in the order shows a mattress leaning against a pickup truck. Upon recheck, the

mattress shown on screen was still there. When the crew was to do the cleanup, the

mattress shown again on screen was still there. The owner said he never received the

notice of violation. The notice was sent to the address of record and there was no

returned mail. The City has a history of successfully providing notice to this owner. On

3 different occasions this past year there were cleanups performed by the City and in

another 3 the owner cleaned up the property before the City had to.

Patrick Nguyen: I just bought this empty land several months ago and the City sent

several letters asking me to clean up the yard. They did the work, but I never received

any letters. The City has sent me 3 citations. I already have paid 2 of them. Each one

is $450 to 500. I ask you to waive this 3rd assessment. This is a large amount of

money for me.

Councilmember Yang moved to close the public hearing. Approved 7-0.

Yang: What is the remaining balance the property owner owes?

Moermond: Without looking at the old assessments, the amount today is $475. I can

look into the other ones.

Yang: Because the work was performed, I move to approve this assessment and

make it payable over 5 years.

Adopted as amended (assessment ratified and made payable over 5 years).

Ratifying the Appealed Special Tax Assessment for property at 2054 LAUREL

AVENUE. (File No. J2516R1, Assessment No. 258562)

RLH TA 25-171

Laid over for one week.

Tom Fischer, property owner, appeared in person

Marcia Moermond, Legislative Hearing Officer: This is an assessment for a summary

abatement order. A photo on screen in front of you shows the order and a photo of the

red couch in question. The order was to dispose of the couch and pallets from the rear

of the property. Upon reinspection, the couch was gone but the pallets remained. The

pallets were still there when the contractor came to abate the nuisance, and they were

removed. Photos on screen show what the property looked like before and after the

abatement. The cost was $440 total. The appellant is disputing how the pallets were

handled and whether they remained in violation.

Tom Fischer: I ask that this assessment be deleted or reduced. The contractor

removed objects that weren't cited and were sitting on the neighboring parcel. The City

also acted long after I had complied and did not get a fresh notice as required by law.

In the photos, there was a grey couch on the neighboring lawn that was taken away.

That was not included at all in the original orders. The order gave me 5 days for the red

couch and pallets. I met that deadline for the couch and arranged removal for the

pallets within 5 days. They were all removed from the property. There were two stacks

of pallets. The photos on screen show the grey couch being taken away. That garage

is our neighbor's and it's not our property. The blue pallets on screen were part of the

much larger stack for an event we had in our backyard. The big stack was removed

and this smaller stack was intentionally kept to use as a parking pad for cars to back

up. After we removed the larger stack, we never received notice from the City that the

smaller stack of pallets was not in compliance. I support the City's cleanup program,

but I acted quickly, stayed in communication, and was billed for an item not on my

property that was never cited. If this is just for the pallet stack, that should only be a

$40 assessment.

Councilmember Privratsky moved to close the public hearing. Approved 7-0.

Privratsky: I need more time to talk with Moermond about this and move to lay over for

one week.

device greatly reduces costs since most agendas, including the documents attached
