Since then, staff and the city attorney have been working through the legal process <br />towards a resolution allowing the city to demolish the building, removing the public hazard. <br /> <br />The court approved the city's motion for summary enforcement on August 19, 2024, authorizing the city to <br />enter the property to remove the remaining items and demolish the structures. Once the process has been <br />completed, the costs associated with enforcing the order, including legal fees, can be assessed back to the <br />property. <br /> <br />Staff solicited bids for the removal of personal property, including a public auction of salvageable items, <br />disposal of trash and debris, and demolition of the home. After talking with numerous contractors about the <br />project and reviewing their proposals, staff recommends approval of the attached proposals from Your Turn <br />LLC and Patrick Dorn Construction. <br /> <br />Property clean-up is expected to begin the week of October 7, 2024, with demolition following shortly after <br />the items have been removed from the property. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />The city will pay for the costs to clean up the home, but those costs will be assessed back to the property and <br />can be recovered at the time of sale. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Improve citizen quality of life. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />Page 65 of 139
