enacted by one motion with no separate discussion. Items may be removed from the  
Consent Agenda for a separate public hearing and discussion if desired.  
Second Making finding on the appealed substantial abatement ordered for 575  
PARK STREET in Council File RLH RR 21-71. (Recommendation is  
forthcoming, pending Certificate of Code Compliance is received by  
September 7, 2022)  
RLH RR 22-39  
58  
Receive certificate of code compliance by Wednesday, September 14 2022, or  
recommendation will be to forfeit half of the $5000 performance deposit. If they still do  
not have the certificate by Wednesday, September 21 2022, the recommendation will  
be to forfeit the remaining amount.  
Moermond: Council originally granted 6 months to rehabilitate property back in May of  
2021. You gave an additional 6 months later on, as the project was making progress. It  
is still not complete. It has been at the 95% mark all summer long. I do not intend to  
ask the city council to order the building removed when it's at 95%, however there  
should be financial implications for failing to meet council's deadlines. I intend to  
recommend next week that half of the $5000 performance deposit be forfeited if they  
have not received their certificate of code compliance. They have told me throughout  
the summer that they would be done in two weeks, and hopefully this inspires  
completion by Tuesday. If they are not done at the following meeting, I will ask that the  
balance of the performance deposit be forfeited for failure to meet the expectations  
that were outlined. They have been informed in writing of that recommendation as well.  
Council President Brendmoen: I appreciate the thoughtfulness about creating an  
incentive.

RLH RR 22-40  
59  
Show financing and have an adequate work plan by September 14, 2022 or  
recommendation will be to forfeit $5000 of performance deposit.  
Moermond: This property is owned by the same party as the previous item and has the  
same contractor. While the previous property is 95% complete, this one is just over  
50% complete. There is not agreement on whether or not there is sufficient financing  
and I have not received an adequate work plan to indicate how they will finish the  
project. They posted an additional $5,000 performance deposit, so the total deposit is  
$10,000. At this point however, the council is empowered to forfeit $5,000 and require  
$10,000, to incentivize completion. At next week's council meeting I will ask for a  
forfeiture of $5,000 if they do not have an adequate work plan and finance. They have  
been notified of this in writing.

members use mobile devices to review the files during the meeting. Using a mobile  
device greatly reduces costs since most agendas, including the documents attached  
to files, are over 1000 pages when printed.
