Liquor License Request - Sunny Mart. 2021 Marquette. CITY CLERK SUMMARY OF REQUEST: The Liquor Control Commission seeks local recommendation on a request from Christine R. Singh to transfer ownership of the 2004 SOM Licensed Business from lndu Gupta. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval. D. Sale of Buildable Vacant Lot on Lawrence Avenue. PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the sale of a vacant buildable lot at 1536 Lawrence Avenue (Parcel #24-610-000-0043-00) to Gloria Fisher of 430 Glen Oaks Drive, Apt. 3B, Muskegon, Ml. The lot is 80 x 132 ft. and is being offered to Ms. Fisher for $6,750. The details of the home are not confirmed as of this date, but she will conform to all standard requirements of the City-owned property policy. The True Cash Value (TCV) for the property listed in the Assessor's Office is $9,000, so our price is set at $6,750 which is 75% of that amount. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The sale of this lot for construction of a new home will generate additional tax revenue for the City and will place the property back on the City's tax rolls, thus relieving the City of continued maintenance costs. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the resolution and to authorize both the Mayor and the Clerk to sign said resolution and deed. E. 18-Month Extension to Complete Construction of 4 Homes. PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve an 18-month extension to allow Mr. Bill Ingalls extra time to complete construction of four single-family homes on Miner Avenue. The original agreement between the City and Mr. Ingalls stipulated that construction of four homes was to be completed within 18 months. The City has customarily granted extensions to persons who have shown that they are dedicated to completing construction and contributing to the beautification of the City's residential areas. Mr. Ingalls has constructed two homes on the site and has a contract to begin the third. Since the 18-month time period typically pertains to people building one single family home, it makes sense that more time can be allowed for several homes to be built. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the time extension, as well as authorization for both the Mayor and the Clerk to sign the resolution and deed. F. Clearance of Three Parcels on Walton. COMMUNITY & NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To approve the awarding of a contract to Andy's Tree Service, 2691 Hall Road, Muskegon, for the low bid of $12,500. The CNS Department received one other bid for the project from Professional Tree Services, Inc., 1727 Beidler, Muskegon, for $17,240. The sites that will be cleared are 814 Murphy (66 x 140), 265 Walton (99 x 140), and 243 Walton (297 x 140). After the sites have been cleared, the CNS Office in partnership with Neighborhood Investment Corp. and Fifth/Third Bank are proposing to build 4 to 6 homes on the site. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding will be disbursed from previously approved HOME funds. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the low bid by Andy's Tree Service and direct the CNS to develop a contract with Andy's Tree Service for $12,500. G. Accept Resignation from the Civil Service Commission. CITY CLERK SUMMARY OF REQUEST: To accept the resignation of Deborah Smith from the Civil Service Commission. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To accept resignation. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Community Relations Committee recommended acceptance of the resignation. Motion by Commissioner Gawron, second by Commissioner Spataro to approve the Consent Agenda as read. ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Carter, Davis, Gawron, Larson, Shepherd, Spataro, Warmington Nays: None MOTION PASSES 2004-73 UNFINISHED BUSINESS: A. Approval of Purchase Agreement for City/State Lots on Clay Avenue - City of Muskegon and Brenda Moore. PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Brenda Moore has purchased the former Freres Gas Station on Laketon Avenue. She would like to move the building to a lot owned by the City of Muskegon on Clay Avenue and the adjacent lot (now owned by the State, but requested for purchase by the City). The purchase agreement allows the lots to be sold to Ms. Moore, on the condition that the City obtain the deed for the State-owned lot by December 31, 2004. After closing on the property, Ms. Moore will have 18 months to move the building to the site and make improvements. She will provide a $30,000 performance bond, in the event the improvements are not made within the time allotted. Ms. Moore intends to improve the building for a commercial/retail use. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The City will receive $2,500 for the lots. The purchase price takes into consideration that the building is a historic structure being moved into a Heritage District and will be appropriately placed in this location. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the Real Estate Purchase Agreement and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the contract. Motion by Vice Mayor Larson, second by Commissioner Davis to approve the Real Estate Purchase Agreement. ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Davis, Gawron, Larson, Shepherd, Spataro, Warmington, Carter Nays: None MOTION PASSES B. SECOND READING: Zoning Ordinance Amendment for Alcohol Sales. PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Request to amend Section 40 l of Article IV (R-1, Single Family Residential); Section 601 of Article VI (RT, Two Family Residential); Section 701 of Article VII (RM-1, Low Density Multiple-Family Residential); Section 801 of Article VIII (RM-2, Medium Density Multiple-Family Residential); Section 901 of Article IX (RM-3, High Density Multiple-Family Residential) to amend the Special Land Use language in regards to permit uses serving and selling alcohol. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends amendment of the Zoning Ordinance to amend language regarding alcohol sales. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Commission recommended approval of the request at their 7/15 meeting. T. Harryman, B. Mazade, P. Sartorius, T. Johnson, T. Michalski, and L. Spataro voted in favor of the change. B. Smith voted against. S. Warmington and J. Aslakson were absent. Motion by Commissioner Spataro, second by Vice Mayor Larson to adopt the amendment of the Zoning Ordinance to amend language regarding alcohol sales. ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Gawron, Larson, Spataro, Warmington, Carter, Davis Nays: Shepherd MOTION PASSES 2004-74 NEW BUSINESS: A. Consideration of Bids - Nims Street Tank Painting. ENGINEERING SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Reject all bids on the Nims Street Tank. On July 27, we received four (4) bids from qualified contractors to paint the Nims Street Tank with M.K. Painting, Inc. out of Lincoln Park, Ml being the lowest bid of $359,550. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The construction cost of $359,550 plus associated engineering costs. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Reject all bids due to budget constraints. Motion by Commissioner Davis, second by Vice Mayor Larson to reject all bids. ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Larson, Shepherd, Carter, Davis, Gawron Nays: Spataro, Warmington MOTION PASSES B. Proposed Charter Amendments to Change City's Fiscal Year. FINANCE SUMMARY OF REQUEST: As set in the City Charter, the City's fiscal year is currently the same as the calendar year (January 1 - December 31). This is inconsistent with the federal, state and virtually all other Michigan municipal fiscal years. Staff has weighed the pros and cons of changing fiscal years and believes that there are sufficient benefits to make it worthwhile to propose a Charter amendment. Accordingly, the two resolutions have been prepared which, if approved by the Commission, would place the following two questions on November's ballot: 1. Shall the Muskegon City Charter be amended to provide that the fiscal year for the City be established by an ordinance adopted by the City Commission? The Charter now provides that the fiscal year shall begin January 1. 2. Shall the Muskegon City Charter be amended to provide that the date the City Manager submits the budget to the City Commission and the date the City Commission adopts the budget shall be set by ordinance? The Charter now provides that the City Manager must submit the budget by September 1 and the City Commission must adopt it by September 25. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Placing this item on the November general election ballot avoids the costs of a special election. If approved, the change in fiscal years will provide a onetime boost to the City's general fund and will facilitate other efficiencies in the handling of City finances. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the resolutions. Motion by Commissioner Spataro, second by Commissioner Shepherd to approve the resolutions for a proposed Charter Amendment to change the City's fiscal year. ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Shepherd, Spataro, Warmington, Carter, Davis, Gawron, Larson Nays: None MOTION PASSES C. Zoning Administration Assistance Contract-LSL. PLANNING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SUMMARY OF REQUEST: With the departure of Brian Lazor, Acting Zoning Administrator, there is a need to provide assistance in the zoning administration area, until a new Zoning Administrator is hired. Staff sought proposals from two firms. One (the only local firm that may have been able to assist) did not have the time or staff available at this point. The other, LSL, was able to provide the type of assistance needed. LSL will provide a staff person, Joe Kinney, for two days a week in the office. Joe will also be available for consultation by phone. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Costs to the City will be $53/hr. for Joe's services. Additional services (e.g., writing zoning amendments) will be an additional cost. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the contract between the City of Muskegon and LSL Associates, Inc., and authorize the Mayor and Clerk to sign the contract. Motion by Commissioner Spataro, second by Commissioner Gawron to approve the contract between the City of Muskegon and LSL Associates, Inc. ROLL VOTE: Ayes: Spataro, Warmington, Carter, Davis, Gawron, Larson, Shepherd Nays: None MOTION PASSES D. Concurrence with the Housing Board of Appeals Notice & Order to Demolish the Following.

LOCATION AND OWNERSHIP: This structure is located on Amity between Scott and Kenneth and is owned by Gustav Buchholz. The house was damaged by fire in 2002 and the City holds $6,437 in escrow until the repairs are completed or demolition occurs. STAFF CORRESPONDENCE: The owner was notified by the Fire Marshal on 6/12/02 of the insurance money being deposited in escrow. A board up notice was issued 3/11 /02 and 4/21 /03. A dangerous building inspection report was written 11 /20/03 and Notice and Order to repair or remove was issued 12/3/03. On 1/8/04 the HBA declared the house substandard and dangerous. OWNER CONTACT: The owner (at that time Jeanette Casson) was present at the 1/8/04 HBA meeting with a potential buyer (Gustav Buchholz) of the property who stated he intends to repair and live in the house. They were told at that time that even though the house was being declared, they would have 30 days in which the potential owner could bring in proof of ownership, schedule an interior inspection and submit a timetable for repairs. Mr. Buchholz scheduled an interior inspection for 1/29 /04, but had to cancel and reschedule for personal reasons. The interior inspection was scheduled for 2/20/04. That inspection was also canceled and rescheduled for 2/24/04. This case has been scheduled to go before the City Commission on 2/24/04, but was removed from the agenda when the interior inspection was conducted. The owner was notified that permits had to be pulled by 3/31 /04, 30 day progress inspections, and a completion date of 9/1 /04. On 4/5/04 Mr. Buchholz applied for a building permit, but disagreed with the value of $40,000 for repairs and did not take the permit out. He stated he would be back within a week and bring in estimates from his contractors to show what he believed to be the real value for the building permit. He was told at that time that he was already beyond the deadline date for pulling a permit and we could not promise him that in another week he would still be allowed to pull the permit. He left and came back 4/15/04 and dropped off estimates from a Wyoming building contractor for all of the work to be completed. The estimates given were from a contractor who is not registered with the City who has a "repair service" and his estimates were for electrical, mechanical and plumbing which he is not licensed to do. Mr. Buchholz applied for the building permit 4/27/04 and was given 90 days due to the fact that he had already used up 2 of the 6 months originally given. He was told at the time of issuance that if significant progress was made the permit could be extended . On 7/22/04 an electrical permit was issued. No plumbing or mechanical permits have been pulled and no inspections called for. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The cost of demolition will be paid with money that is escrowed from the fire. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. SEV: $21,200 STAFF RECOMMENDATION : To concur with the Housing Board of Appeals decision to demolish. ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIRS: $40,000.

The lot is 80 x 132 ft. and is being offered to Ms. Fisher for $6,750. The details of the home are not confirmed as of this date, but she will conform to all standard requirements of the City- owned property policy.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: The sale of this lot for construction of a new home will generate additional tax revenue for the City and will place the property back on the City's tax rolls, thus relieving the City of continued maintenance costs. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None STAFF RECOMMENDATION: To approve the attached resolution and to authorize both the Mayor and the Clerk to sign said resolution and deed.

The original agreement between the City and Mr. Ingalls stipulated that construction of four homes was to be completed within 18 months. The City has customarily granted extensions to persons who have shown that they are dedicated to completing construction and contributing to the beautification of the City's residential areas. Mr. Ingalls has constructed two homes on the site and has a contract to begin the third. Since the 18-month time period typically pertains to people building one single family home, it makes sense that more time can be allowed for several homes to be built. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the time extension, as well as authorization for both the Mayor and the Clerk to sign the attached resolution and deed. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None. 7/15/2004 ResolutionNo. 2004-72(e) MUSKEGON CITY COMMISSION RESOLUTION APPROVING EIGHTEEN MONTH EXTENSION TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION OF FOUR SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES ON MINER A VENUE AND HARRISON COURT WHEREAS, Bill Ingalls has submitted a request for a time extension; and WHEREAS, Bill Ingalls has shown a commitment to complete construction of four homes by the completion of two of the homes; and WHEREAS, the completion of the two additional home will further enhance the ambiance of the City's residential area.

Excerpt from draft of Minutes from July 15, 2004 Planning Commission Meeting Hearing; Case 2004--28: Staff initiated request to amend Section 40 I of Article IV (R-1, Single Family Residential): Section 60 1 of Article VI (RT, Two Family Residential): Section 701 of Article VII (RM-I, Low Density Multiple-Family Residential): Section 80 1 of Article VIII (RM-2, Medium Density Multiple-Family Residential}: Section 90 1 of Article IX (RM-3 , High Density Multiple-Family Residential) to amend the Special Land Use language in regards to pem1it uses serving and selling alcohol. B. Lazor presented the staff report. The Planning Commission has asked staff to come up with language to possible allow the sale of alcohol under special use pem1it in the residential zone. Staff has consulted with the City Attorney about the language and that is provided below. Since the language is the same in all residential districts except the MHP, Mobile Home Park district, staff feels to be consistent the language if approved should be applied to all residential districts except the MHP district. The proposed language was provided to the commission members. The City Attorney had looked over the proposed language. · City of Muskegon Planning Commission ~ 7/15/04 L. Spataro stated that he felt this is good. He suggested some time restraints for renewal of the Special Use Pennits that this would be effective in. He had suggested every 3 years. P. Sartorius felt this should be a condition on a case by case basis. T. Johnson stated that this should be approved by the LCC. He has a problem with the idea as a whole. He felt that they were taking 1 situation and changing it for all the zoning areas proposed. He felt that this could cause a real problem. T. Harryman stated that he understands the concerns. He looks at trying to keep the small stores in the neighborhood. He would like to keep this at the Planning Commission level. T. Johnson explained the reason behind the current zoning language. L. Spataro understood the need for a legacy store in residential zoning districts. He also added that there aren't that many left in the City. S. Norman stated that he lives near 407 Marquette. He has seen how the times have changed and this neighborhood is good and stable. The previous owner promised that there would be no alcohol or lotto sales. He described the area surround this store. He would be opposed to changing the language to allow for the sale of alcohol. P. Sartorius explained that this isn't just for the 1 property, it would be allowed in all the residential zones. C. Shepherd stated that she understood the dilemma the commission members are in. She also understands why this came up. She didn't feel this needed to be discussed and doesn't feel this should be changed. She is opposed to changing the language. B. Joy- Holmes stated that she also didn't want to see alcohol sales in the Jackson Hill neighborhood. P. Sartorius stated that if the zoning language were to change, the owner of 407 Marquette would need to apply for a Special Use Penni! and there would be a public hearing to address any concerns that the neighbors may have regarding the sale at that location. L. Spataro explained how the zoning language change had come about. He explained the difference between rezoning a property or having the sale of alcohol as a SUP in a residential zoning district. Should a property be rezoned for business, then they would be allowed to sell alcohol. If the zoning language for a residential zoning district is changed to include alcohol sales under a SUP, then they would need to go before the PC and it would need to be approved. At that time, the public may comment, conditions can be placed on the SUP (hours of operation was an example given), and if the conditions of the SUP are violated, it may be revoked. S. Nonnan felt that the neighborhood should have a say in any time limits that are placed on it. A motion to close the public hearing was made by L. Spataro, supported by T. Hanyman and unanimously approved. T. Johnson stated his concerns and asked if this were to pass, what would happen with 407 Marquette at the City Commission level for the rezoning request. L. Spataro explained that the rezoning request was put on hold pending his request. He felt that this was a better compromise. T. Harryman stated that he would prefer the language change over the rezoning of a property to allow for it. T. Michalski stated that the PC can revoke an SUP. He felt that if they limit the hours of operation, then they should be consistent with the time no matter which neighborhood it is in. This will help strengthen a neighborhood. B. Mazade stated that based on the previous meeting minutes and discussions, this would be a good compromise. The commission members discussed changes to the language and they are as follows: New Language (Proposed by Planning Commission) Deletions are eressed ottt and additions are in bold. 6. Previously existing or established commercial uses not already converted to a residential use may be authorized under Special Use Permit for the following [amended 12/99]: a.

This is inconsistent with the federal, state and virtually all other Michigan municipal fiscal years. Staff has weighed the pros and cons of changing fiscal years and believes that there are sufficient benefits to male it worthwhile to propose a charter amendment. Accordingly, the two attached resolutions have been prepared which, if approved by the Commission, would place the following two questions on November's ballot: 1. Shall the Muskegon City Charter be amended to provide that the fiscal year for the City be established by an ordinance adopted by the City Commission? The Charter now provides that the fiscal year shall begin January 1. 2. Shall the Muskegon City Charter be amended to provide that the date the City Manager submits the budget to the City Commission and the date the City Commission adopts the budget shall be set by ordinance? The Charter now provides that the City Manager must submit the budget by September 1 and the City Commission must adopt it by SeptenlDer 25. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Placing this item on the November general election ballot avoids the costs of a special election. If approved, the change in fiscal years will provide a onetime boost to the city's general fund and will facilitate other efficiercies in the handling of city finances (see accompanying memo). BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED: None at this time. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the attached resolutions. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: There is no committee recommendation at this time. Finance Administration Memo To: City Commission City Manager From:Finance Director Date: August 2, 2004 Re: Fiscal Year Change Chapter VIII, Section 1 of the City Charter provides that "(t)he fiscal year of the City shall begin January first." To the best of my knowledge, this provision has not changed since the charter was adopted in 1919. The current budget challenges facing the city have prompted staff to explore whether changing fiscal years could provide practical and/or financial benefits that outweigh the political and administrative costs of making such a change. We have concluded that it is in the city's best interest to change fiscal years; however, it is not yet clear which fiscal year alternative is best for the city. Theoretically, any date could serve as the city's fiscal year-end. However, September 30 or June 30 fiscal year-ends are the two most logical options. Following are some of the issues weighing for and against each alternative: September 30 Fiscal Year-end Pros: • Consistent with federal, state and Muskegon County fiscal years - this would facilitate the city's grant accounting and revenue budgeting functions. As an example, as we prepare the city's 2005 budget, we have no official state projections of state shared revenues beyond September 30, 2005. • Page 1 C:\Documents and Settings\boeslj\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLKB\I\IIEMO - CITY COMMISSION FY CHANGE.doc • Probable one-time increase to fund balance - Since city property taxes are collected entirely at the start of our present fiscal year (i.e. winter), a transitional 9-month fiscal period would include a full year's property taxes. This should provide an increase to our beginning fund balance for a new fiscal period starting October 1. Assuming other property tax collecting bodies (e.g. ODA, LDFA, and TIFA) under the city's aegis also change fiscal years, similar one-time benefits would be realized by them. However, it must be cautioned that the property tax benefit would be somewhat offset by these negative factors: • State-shared revenues - Based on historical payment patterns, it is estimated that we would receive only about 67% of our annual state shared revenues during the 9-month stub year (75% of full-year) period. ($376,000 loss) • CATV Franchise - We would receive only one payment (50%) during the 9-month period. ($67,500 loss) • Summer spending - Spending for general fund activities peaks in the summer months with special events overtime, seasonal labor, and parks & recreation activities. A September 30 fiscal year would include all of this peak spending. Staff reviewed last year's data and estimates that had the city ended its fiscal year on September 30 2003, the general fund fund balance would have been about $613,000 higher than the actual results for December 31 , 2003: Actual FY Ended Estimated FY Ended December 31 , 2003 September 30, 2003 Beginning Fund Balance $2,807,996 $2,807,996 Revenues 23,328,756 17,826,939 Expenditures 23,705,334 17,590,408 Ending Fund Balance $2,431,418 $3,044,527 • Lower Audit Fees - the current December 31 fiscal year-end means that the annual independent audit is conducted during the first four months of the calendar year or, in other words, tax preparation season. Changing from a • Page 2 December 31 year-end would very likely result in more competition for the city's audit contract and lower audit fees. • Budget Calendar - A September 30 fiscal year could fit with the city's current budget calendar - i.e. budget submitted by September 1 and adopted by September 25 for year beginning October 1. Cons: • Complicates budgeting/accounting for capital projects since most · projects are undertaken in the summer months but are not completed by September 30. June 30 Fiscal Year-end Pros: • Consistent with most other Michigan cities' fiscal years - this would have little direct advantage other than to make data comparisons with other cities more meaningful. • One-time increase to fund balance - The one-time effect would be more pronounced with a June 30 fiscal year since a full year's property taxes would be compressed into just a six-month stub period. Also, some of the offsets experienced with a September 30 fiscal year (e.g. summer spending) are avoided. Again, staff reviewed last year's data and estimates that had the city ended its fiscal year on June 30 2003, the general fund fund balance would have been about $1,486,000 higher than the actual results for December 31 , 2003: Actual FY Ended Estimated FY Ended December 31, 2003 June 30, 2003 Beginning Fund Balance $2,807,996 $2,807,996 Revenues 23,328,756 12,853,018 Expenditures 23,705,334 11,743,041 Ending Fund Balance $2,431,418 $3,91 7,973 • Page 3 • Lower Audit Fees - Again, the impact would likely be greater since the summer months are the slowest period for most CPA firms. • There is rumor of the state changing to an all-summer, unified property tax bill. If this were to be mandated, a June 30 fiscal year would be preferable from a cashflow standpoint. With a September 30 fiscal year, summer property taxes would be collected at the end of the year potentially requiring the city to borrow for cashflow purposes. Cons: • Not consistent with state or federal fiscal years. Staff believes it is in the city's best interest to propose a charter amendment that gives the city commission authority to set the fiscal year by ordinance. This will provide the necessary flexibility for future commissions to deal with state mandates (such as the unified summer tax bill). The city attorney has prepared resolutions to place this issue on the November general election ballot. This will avoid the cost of a special charter election. If the ballot proposition is successful, the city commission could adopt ordinances in December 2004 to effect a fiscal year change in 2005. Finally, it must be emphasized that changing the city's fiscal year does not in anyway raises taxes or fees on citizens. Property taxes will still be levied as they currently are. The proposed change is purely administrative and allows city finances to be handled more efficiently and effectively. Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions. • Page4 CITY OF MUSKEGON Resolution No. 2004-74 (b 1 ) A Resolution of the Muskegon City Commission to propose for adoption by the voters of the City of Muskegon an Amendment to the City Cha11cr concerning the dates for submission and adoption of the City's budget.

It is further requested that administration be directed to obtain bids for the demolition of the structure and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized and directed to execute a contract for demolition with the lowest responsible bidder. Case# & Project Address: #EN030174-637 Amity. Location and ownership: This structure is located on Amity between Scott and Kenneth and is owned by Gustav Buchholz. The house was damaged by fire in 2002 and the city holds $6437 in escrow until the repairs are completed or demolition occurs. Staff Correspondence: The owner was notified by the Fire Marshal on 6/12/02 of the insurance money being deposited in escrow. A board up notice was issued 3/11/02 and 4/21/03. A dangerous building inspection report was written 11/20/03 and Notice and Order to repair or remove was issued 12/3/03. On 1/8/04 the HBA declared the house substandard and dangerous. Owner Contact: The owner (at that time Jeanette Casson) was present at the 1/8/04 HBA meeting with a potential buyer (Gustav Buchholz) of the property who stated he intends to repair and live in the house. They were told at that time that even though the house was being declared, they would have 30 days in which the potential owner could bring in proof of ownership, schedule an interior inspection and submit a timetable for repairs. Mr. Buchholz scheduled an interior inspection for 1/29/04, but had to cancel and reschedule for personal reasons. The interior inspection was scheduled for 2/20/04. That inspection was also canceled and rescheduled for 2/24/04. This case had been scheduled to go before the City Commission on 2/24/04, but was removed from the agenda when the interior inspection was conducted. The owner was notified that permits had to be pulled by 3/31/04, 30 day progress inspections, and a completion date of 9/1/04. On 4/5/04 Mr. Buchholz applied for a building permit, but disagreed with the value of $40,000 for repairs and did not take the permit out. He stated he would be back within a week and bring in estimates from his contractors to show what he believed to be the real value for the building permit. He was told at that time that he was already beyond the deadline date for pulling a permit and we could not promise him that in another week he would still be allowed to pull the permit. He left and came back 4/15/04 and dropped off estimates from a Wyoming building contractor for all of the work to be completed. The estimates given were from a contractor who is not registered with the city who has a "repair service" and his estimates were for electrical, mechanical and plumbing which he is not licensed to do. Mr. Buchholz applied for the building permit 4/27/04 and was given 90 days due to the fact that he had already used up 2 of the 6 months originally given. He was told at the time of issuance that if significant progress was made the permit could be extended. On 7/22/04 an electrical permit was issued. No plumbing or mechanical permits have been pulled and no inspections called for. Financial Impact The cost of demolition will be paid with money that is escrowed from the fire. Budget Action Required: None SEV: $21,200 Staff Recommendation: To concur with the Housing Board of Appeals decision to demolish. Estimated Cost of Repairs: $40,000 City Commission Recommendation: The Commission will consider this item at it's meeting on Tuesday, August 10, 2004.
