LEGISLATIVE HEARING ITEMS REQUIRING DISCUSSION
83 RLH RR 14-7 Ordering the rehabilitation or razing and removal of the structures at
1022 MINNEHAHA AVENUE WEST within fifteen (15) days after the
April 16, 2014, City Council Public Hearing. (Amended to razing and
removal only) (Public hearing held and closed; laid over from June 18)
Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said there had been three no-show
Legislative Hearings since the previous public hearing. She said the property had
been a registered vacant building for 11 1/2 years, with a Code Compliance
Inspection and Remove or Repair Order in 2006 which had not been followed up on.
She said a new Code Compliance Inspection and performance deposit were needed,
and she expressed concerns about the property owner's ability to manage the project
based upon attendance issues at hearings and lack of compliance the the notice to
abate a nuisance building. She said there were reports of maintenance issues and
feral cats at the property, and while 18 Summary Abatement Orders in 11 years has
resulted in only two Work Orders, there were reports that neighbors were taking care
of some maintenance. She said it was a unique situation with an older property
owner facing additional issues, and a partnership with other organizations might be a
possibility. She said she would like to lay the matter over for two weeks with a
Legislative Hearing in one week to lay out expectations. She said she would ask that
the performance deposit be paid and Code Compliance inspection application
submitted within the two weeks. She said the owner was present.
Councilmember Thao asked why this had gone on for so long, and what conditions
could be set over the next two weeks which would help it be resolved. Ms.
Moermond said in this case there was an inability to correct the situation, and she
was not sure what the breakdown was in 2006. She said the property continued to
be a source of concern for the neighborhood. She reviewed the Council's standard
conditions including posting of the performance deposit, payment of taxes and fees,
submission of a work plan based on a current Code Compliance Inspection, and
documentation of finances. She said in this case she would ask that money be put in
escrow or managed by the third party, and that the project be managed by an outside
person.
No one appeared in opposition; Councilmember Thao moved to continue the public
hearing to June 4.
Referred to Legislative Hearings on May 27; Council public hearing continued

ADJOURNMENT
Council Meeting Information
The City Council is paperless which saves the environment and reduces expenses. The
agendas and Council files are all available on the Web (see below). Councilmembers use
iPads to review the files during the meeting. Using the iPad greatly reduces costs since most
agendas, including the documents attached to files, are over 1000 pages when printed.
Web
Meetings are available on the Council's website. Email notification and web feeds (RSS) of
newly released Minutes, Agendas and Meetings are available by subscription. Please visit
www.stpaul.gov/council for meeting videos and updated copies of the Agendas, Minutes and
supporting documents.
Cable
Meetings are live on St Paul Channel 18 and replayed on: Thursdays at 5:30 p.m., Saturdays at
12:30 p.m., and Sundays at 1:00 p.m. (Subject to change)
