(File No. J1901E, Assessment No. 198300) Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond gave a staff report on the assessment for excessive consumption, charged because the work was not done at the time of re-inspection. She said orders were issued to remove show on April 18, and staff re-checked on the 19th; she said the 24-hour turn-around was due to three snow abatements in the previous month. She displayed a photograph of snow conditions at the time of re-inspection. She said the Parks crew came on April 23 and found that the work was complete, so the assessment cost being considered was not for work done but for dispatching a crew out when it wasn't needed. She noted that the property had transferred ownership since the Legislative Hearing. In response to a question from Councilmember Thao, she said the assessment was $157. Former property owner Patrick Carlone said the property was sold October 4, 2018, and they were victim of a false complaint. He said the when City workers arrived a false alert, they were dispatched to another location. He said he had never heard of a victim paying for a false response by emergency responders or City public workers, and the person who made the false complaint was in violation of the law. He said when City crews came, the snow was already removed and they were merely relocated to another location and no time was lost by the City. He said he didn't feel they should be assessed the fine. He said if an investigation were conducted he was sure it would be proven that a City or Ramsey County employee made the false report. Councilmember Thao moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0 In response to questions from Councilmember Thao, Ms. Moermond confirmed that the property was under new ownership, and clarified that in most cases money would be escrowed at closing to cover the cost of pending assessments. Councilmember Thao confirmed with Ms. Moermond that Mr. Carlone understood or was at least informed of that. Ms. Moermond said she hoped that was the case. Councilmember Thao moved to adopt Ms. Moermond's recommendation. Adopted Yea: 6- Councilmember Brendmoen, Councilmember Thao, Councilmember Tolbert, Councilmember Noecker, Councilmember Prince and Councilmember Jalali Nelson Nay: 0 City of Saint Paul Page 5 City Council Minutes - Final January 9, 2019 55 RLH RR 18-49 Making finding on the appealed nuisance abatement ordered for 544 MINNEHAHA AVENUE WEST in Council File RLH RR 17-12. Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond said she'd been asked to read into the record that she was asking the Council to amend the resolution to state that the nuisance condition had been abated and the Certificate of Code Compliance issued. Councilmember Thao moved the amendment. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0 No one was present to testify. Councilmember Thao moved to close the public hearing and approve the resolution as amended. Adopted as amended (nuisance condition abated) Yea: 6- Councilmember Brendmoen, Councilmember Thao, Councilmember Tolbert, Councilmember Noecker, Councilmember Prince and Councilmember Jalali Nelson Nay: 0 City of Saint Paul Page 6 City Council Minutes - Final January 9, 2019 61 RLH TA 18-656 Ratifying the Appealed Special Tax Assessment for property at 1240 RICE STREET. (File No. J1905A, Assessment No. 198504) Legislative Hearing Officer Marcia Moermond gave a staff report on the assessment for a property clean-up; she reviewed the dates and displayed photographs. She said the owner stated in Legislative Hearings that he had received the orders but was having problems with the occupant who had purchased the property on a contract for deed, and he didn't feel safe going to the property. She said this was the first of at least three assessments heard in Legislative Hearings, and she had taken his concerns under advisement. She said her recommendation was to approve the assessment, as City crews had done the work and it was not the responsibility of the taxpayers to step into this private dispute to make sure the property was maintained. She showed photographs. In response to questions from Council President Brendmoen, she said the additional assessments would be coming before the Council. The before and after videos of the clean-up were shown, showing that the front yard had already been cut when crews arrived, and the side and back yards were cut by City crews. Council President Brendmoen invited the appellant to testify. She said it didn't appear he was disputing that the work had been done by the City, so the issue to be addressed was whether the work should be paid for by the property owner or the rest of the taxpayers. In opposition: Property owner Herbert Zworn, Moundsview, said he understood the orders and his responsibilities. He said he had initiated eviction proceedings prior to the orders being issued and the situation became acrimonious. He said, in addition, the courts were so backlogged, the matter was carried over for an additional six weeks, which caused the problem being discussed. He noted that the video showed that the front yard had been done; he said he had gone over and started to to that, and there as a drive-by situation where his life was threatened. He said he was held hostage when he tried to collect rent, and police were called to the property on four separate occasions because of death threats against him. He said they destroyed the property. He said extra deputies were present during the court proceedings due to the hostile situation, and he was prevented from doing any work at the property by the suggestion of the court. He said he had conversations with the inspection department and had an agreement where they understood the situation and would work with him on it; he said that was with (inspector) Sean Westenhofer. He said he then received a letter from another inspector, Richard Kedrowski, telling him that he wanted the additional work done. He said he called Mr. Kedrowski who said he didn't care what the previous agreements were, and the orders had to be complied with. He asked the Council what he was supposed to do given the situation, and said he felt it was unfair that he be assessed all of these charges. He said he had entered into an agreement (with Ms. Moermond) that the assessments would be reduced but hadn't received documentation of that. He said he wasn't sure what was going on but didn't feel it was his responsibility to pay these levies. Council President Brendmoen said she could understand if there was some confusion, especially if there were several different orders; she said the video showed other issues besides the tall grass and weeds being considered in this hearing. Mr. Zworn said he entered into an agreement with the inspection department, but because of what he thought were ego problems and poor communication in the inspection department, he was being assessed penalties and fines. He said he entered into an agreement in full faith that he was working with the inspection department and it was overridden by another inspector, and it was his understanding that when you were working with the City of Saint Paul Page 7 City Council Minutes - Final January 9, 2019 inspection department on a property you only had to deal with one. Council President Brendmoen moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 6 Nays - 0 Council President Brendmoen asked Ms. Moermond to clarify the agreement with inspectors. Ms. Moermond said Mr. Zworn mentioned in the hearing that he believed there was going to be a forbearance on enforcement due to his private legal dispute. She said there was testimony from the department that they did not enter into forbearance agreements or agreements not to enforce the code, although they wanted to be aware of these circumstances and to do what they could. She said this was not a circumstance where there would simply not be an order issued if there was a violation of the code. She clarified that this was not a fine or fee, but the cost the City incurred in doing the work. She said she believed she had amendments to the other assessments Mr. Zworn referred to, but, as with all changes, they would come forward in the form of an amended resolution so it was a public document. She said it was not standard practice to send a separate letter sent to the appellant, although in this case Mr. Zworn had received an email informing him of Ms. Moermond's recommendation for this assessment. Council President Brendmoen said she was sorry that this investment and the contract for deed ended up being a bad risk and had become a scary situation, but that City staff did go out and do the work, and unfortunately that was a cost that needed to be borne by Mr. Zworn or the tenant. She said she would move to adopt Ms. Moermond's recommendation but her office would assist Mr. Zworn in getting the property back on line as a rental property. Adopted Yea: 6- Councilmember Brendmoen, Councilmember Thao, Councilmember Tolbert, Councilmember Noecker, Councilmember Prince and Councilmember Jalali Nelson Nay: 0 LEGISLATIVE HEARING CONSENT AGENDA Items listed under the Consent Agenda will receive a combined public hearing and be 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. Approval of the Consent Agenda (Items 14 - 83) No one was present to testify. Councilmember Prince moved approval of the Legislative Hearing Consent Agenda as amended.
