PUBLIC NUISANCE VIOLATIONS (TARA ARHIP) On July 8, 1988, the city clerk sent a notice to Ms. Tara Arhip, 5261 165th Street North, regarding a fire -damaged structure on her property. On August 15, 1988, the City Council addressed this issue, and Ms. Arhip appeared before the Council stating that she would have the building removed from her property within 30 days. Ms. Arhip has not communicated with the city with regard to any requests for extension of time or her plans to remove the burned -out structure or the 12 inoperable/unlicensed vehicles parked on site. In 1986, the city took Ms. Arhip to court regarding the general condition of her property and the inoperable motor vehicles on site. The courts ordered the property cleaned up and a fine to be paid by Ms. Arhip. Ms. Arhip was given one year to correct the problem, and in 1987, the deputy sheriff confirmed that -the site had been brought into compliance with the court order. Since that time, however, vehicles have again been moved to the site, and the building that burned has still not been removed. Unless directed otherwise by the City Council, city staff will be turning this matter over to the city prosecutor for further action. Mayor Atkinson directed city staff to proceed with this matter as per previous Council direction. JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP As per Resolution 87-66, a draft Joint Powers Agreement has been prepared by White Bear Township consistent with previous council discussion on the 120th Street public improvement project. On March 21, 1988, the City Council held the required public improvement hearing and ordered the improvement of 120th Street from Highway 61 to a point approximately 1./2-1 mile to the east. A copy of the Joint Powers Agreement was forwarded to the city attorney for his review and comment. The city has secured the necessary financing for the making of this improvement, and the cost outlined in the Joint Powers Agreement is within the original cost estimate. White Bear Township is requesting Council approval of said Joint Powers Agreement in an effort to proceed with this project in 1989/90.
