Based on recent calls to the property, it doesn't appear that has happened. He has until August 8, our meeting date, to complete the eviction. If he does not, the ordinance allows the City Council to assess an administrative fee, set by resolution, for each day the owner fails to comply. If after two months this does not result in the tenant's eviction, the Council may consider suspension or revocation of his license. At the beginning of the year, the City Council adopted a fee schedule that allows for admin- istrative fees of up to $1,000 per day for rental housing violations. The purpose of this meeting is to set the fee for this case. The purpose of the fee is to off -set the costs associat- ed with dealing with this matter. After consultation with the city attorney, staff is recom- mending a fee of $25-$50 per day. Staff prepared a resolution to this effect. Upon adoption, staff will notify Mr. Erenberg of the administrative fee accruing and the date of the public hearing regarding the matter should he not follow through with the eviction.

On April 5, 2017, officers were called to your rental property in regards to a fight between neighbors. The police incident number is 17002921 and a redacted copy of the report is available from the St. Anthony Police Department. The police report identifies Mary Griffin as the assailant. While the police were preparing to take Griffin into custody, they found drugs on her person. The drugs resulted in felony drug possession charges which violates the City's Crime Free Housing Program. Both the assault and the drug possession are violations of your rental -housing license. In particular, the drug possession violates section 9-11-6-E of city code related to Crime Free Housing. I have included a copy of the ordinance for your review. Per the ordinance, please submit a copy of the leases with both of your tenants showing the Crime Free Housing Program language found on page 4. Please submit this documentation by June 19, 2017. The Rental Housing Ordinance also requires that the property owner terminate the lease of any tenant in violation of the Crime Free Housing Program within 60 days of notice of the City or police department that a violation of 9-11-6-E has occurred. This letter constitutes such notice. To this end, you have until Tuesday, August 8, 2017 to terminate the tenancy of the occupant(s) on the south side of the building. Please contact city hall at 651-792-7650, should you have any questions. Sincerely, Heather Butkowski City Administrator Enc.
