I will be at Monday Night's meeting to answer any <br />questions the council may have regarding any of the complaints listed However, there are several that are <br />likely to take court action that may involve the City Attorney's time and the B&Z Dept. requests council's <br />approval to proceed on these cases. The Building & Zoning Dept. support a hiring of a local prosecution <br />attorney per City Council discussion July 2nd. <br /> <br />';~xx Proctor-The "infamous" abandoned house remains standing. The Building Dept.had previously sent the <br />owner every possible ordinance violation concerning this property and we have yet to see any progress. The <br />owner is now using this property as a storage grounds for heavy equipment, junk vehicles and people have <br />begun to dump trash and garbage on the property. The County attorney was contacted and the police issued a <br />citation for this property. New criminal charges are being drawn up and filed with Sherburne County Courts. <br />On July 10th a meeting has been set up with the owner of the property and the Building & Zoning Department. <br />We will continue to try resolving this issue (i.e. house removal and site clean up) <br /> <br />Fax: 763.441.7425 <br />www. ci.elk-river, mn.us <br /> <br /> <br />
