Hanson <br />www.ci.little-eanada.mn.us <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Blesener and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: July 6, 2012 <br />RE: Certify Abatement Costs for 2600 Spruce <br />This past April, we contracted for the abatement of nuisances at 2600 Spruce Street associated <br />with a fire damaged garage and related material. After soliciting proposals, we contracted with <br />Minneapolis Garage Builders, LLC for the abatement work at a cost of $3,800. During the <br />process, the occupants place additional materials (mattresses) outside for removal and also asked <br />that a storage shed be removed from the property. There was an additional $800 charge for this <br />work that the owner /occupant agreed to prior to commencement of removal. <br />The final cost of the contracted abatement work was $4,600. In our abatement notice, the <br />owners were informed that an administrative fee of not more than 25% would be added to the <br />contracted cost. Staff is recommending we charge the 25% maximum for an additional amount <br />of $1,150 to cover the costs associated with coordinating the abatement and the certification <br />process. Therefore, staff is recommending we certify $5,750 to property taxes for the <br />abatement activity at 2600 Spruce Street. <br />cc: James White, 2600 Spruce Street <br />Thomas White, 2595 Sylvan Street <br />Deb Parker — via email <br />
