Request for Action To Item Number Mayor and City Council 4.8 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Consent Agenda October 17, 2022 Zack Carlton, Community Development Director Item Description Reviewed by Maintenance and Special Assessment Jared Shepherd, City Attorney Agreement: 617 Gates Avenue Reviewed by Cal Portner, City Administrator Action Requested Approve, by motion, the maintenance and assessment agreement for 617 Gates Avenue. Background/Discussion Code Enforcement has been working with the property owner at 617 Gates Ave to address a number of city ordinance violations related to property maintenance and standards. The owner has made significant progress from where our discussions began, but the work has reached the limits of what he can handle on his own. City staff have spoken with the owner, and he has agreed to sign the attached maintenance and assessment agreement for the final clean-up on his property. Staff met onsite with the owner and three separate companies in order to receive the most practical quote for the required cleanup. We reviewed the options with the owner, and we will be moving forward with a local contractor. The attached document outlines the work to be completed along with the proposed price. Upon Council approval, we will finalize the agreement and work with the contractor to complete the work as soon as possible. Financial Impact The city will pay the initial invoice from the contractor, but per the agreement we will be reimbursed through a special assessment. The assessment may be spread out over several years in accordance with our financial policies.
