MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MAY 13, 1992 <br />felt that the property owner would be hard-pressed to <br />be able to do this work for $4,500, in addition to the <br />other improvements that are necessary. The <br />Administrator stated that we must be able to document <br />that the true value of the work can be done within the <br />$4,500 figure. <br />Collova pointed out that the Building Inspector <br />determines valuations on a cost per square foot basis, <br />and Collova was not sure what that cost was on a <br />remodeling project. <br />The City Administrator stated that determining the cost <br />of remodeling is somewhat subjective, and the City must <br />rely on the expertise of the Building Inspector. <br />Blesener pointed out that this particular structure has <br />been abandoned for some time, that the sewer and water <br />systems have been abandoned, and the supporting columns <br />are deteriorated. <br />McBride replied that these statements are not totally <br />accurate.
