Staff has made weekly visits to the property and met with the tenant on at least one occasion. <br />As of August 29, 2018, sufficient progress regarding the site clean-up has not been made, and staff <br />recommends approval of the agreement. <br />The city attorney, in working with the attorney for the property owner, prepared the attached abatement <br />agreement to provide the city with the authority to go onto the property and remove vehicles and rubbish <br />that does not comply with city codes. Staff solicited bids from area contractors to establish the abatement <br />cost and complete the work upon authorization. The stated $30,855.00 cost to clean-up the site is the <br />maximum that will be assessed using this agreement, and the final amount abated will reflect the actual <br />work completed. <br />Once both parties, the city and the property owner, have signed the abatement agreement staff will work <br />with the property owners, tenant, and contractors to bring the property into compliance with city codes. <br />Financial Impact <br />The initial cost of the nuisance abatement will be paid by the city. The city will be reimbursed, with <br />interest, over 10 years. <br />Attachments <br />■ Nuisance Abatement and Special Assessment Agreement <br />■ Estimate <br />■ Abatement Bids <br />■ TIF Abatement Calculator <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A ia ehoMing community ia itb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional P,` 01 W E H E 8 6 T <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAWRE1 <br />
