Bodnar motioned to removed property 205 Fifth Ave. Gordon 2"d, He spoke about an ethic complaint filed and the possibility of an investigation. He asked why city workers would go in and remove property from this address. Wiltshire asked the administration why the furniture was removed. Ryan stated the equipment was removed for the city to sell but he was not sure what other contents were removed. Wiltshire asked for an estimate of what the city will get. Ryan stated he did not know; it will be auctioned off but he did state the equipment he believes is worth some money. Ian stated the property belongs to the city and we have a right to go in and remove it. Bodnar spoke about the bidding process on properties. Gordon asked about as is. Ian stated correct the property is itself; not the contents inside. Wiltshire stated he agreed with Ian in that it would be the structure that's being bid on not the contents; and he sees no problem with city selling its contents at auction. Galuski spoke about it being done in the past. Doherty spoke about properties not always going to the highest bidder. Gordon asked why we would not sell it for more it obviously is worth more. Zalewski stated unless you draft contents into the agreement like it is done when buying a house the property inside usually does not go with the structure. Wiltshire stated he had no problem with city workers removing the property for auction but if it was filled with Garbage he would not want tax payer dollars used to have them clean it out. He stated he was present during the process and it was done correctly based on the current process we have in place. Bodnar spoke about Zalewski's comments and that this is different than a home sale. Galuski asked about the Ethics Committee meeting based on the report he had in front of him and that only 2 members were present, no quorum, so how do they accept a complaint then. Zalewski asked about Mr. Bethel's offers. Doherty stated he was present at the meeting and will not comment publicly for embarrassment reasons but that reasons were given as to why at the meeting. Wiltshire stated the process may still have some flaws, maybe in that the reasons why someone was not approved. He stated we do have a check list to go by at these meetings, 1st the pre-screening of an applicant if they are eligible to have a bid move forward. This is based on several criteria: . All taxes are paid . No foreclosures . Water/ recycling bills paid . No code violations on any other properties owned . No outstanding parking tickets . A completed application with proof of funds . If prior projects were completed in the past He stated any one of these can stop an application in its tracks. Monica spoke about the process this time having multiple bidders more than ever on properties and it is also based on the quality of life in the neighborhoods that it taken into consideration. Bodnar motioned to remove property 205 Fifth Ave., 2nd by Gordon, failed by a vote of 7 no to 2 yes (Bodnar and Gordon). Bodnar proposed a 2nd motioned to remove property 7 CPL William Dickerson PL. and went on to speak about Mr. Tutunjian's bid being more and the use was the same as the other bidder. Doherty spoke about how the process works. He stated it is not always the highest bidder that is chosen. He stated a lot of work went into this and we should move it along, certainly we should not be influence by others. Wiltshire stated this is just a garage and there is not much rehab needed, its use is for parking. The bidder currently owns property on that street and would use it for off street parking. He would be in and out of it on a daily basis, not just for storage. Galuski spoke about the history of this process and how it's changed. He stated now it is not just going to the highest bidder, like in the past because we would get those properties back. He stated there are now several people involved, from departments and council members; as council member Gordon stated in the past there is always going to be winners and losers. Bodnar stated the process has improved but now he feels that actual council members are helping make decision on these not just observing like in the past. He asked that possibly a codified system be designed which prioritizes the bidders would be beneficial. Bodnar's motion to remove property 7 CPL William Dickerson PL., 2nd by Gordon, failed by a vote of 7 no to 2 yes (Bodnar and Gordon). Ordinance passed by a vote of 7 yes to 2 no ( Bodnar and Gordon) 101. Ordinance Amending the 2015 General Fund Police Department Budget Line Item Ordinance passed by unanimous vote 102.
