Description
City of Austin, Minnesota
A
C
A
A
You
we
have
enough
no
recognitions
or
rewards
so
number
four.
We
need
a
motion
for
the
consent.
Agenda,
need
a
motion
so
moved
here's
their
second.
Second,
second.
B
Thank
you,
your
honor
tonight
you're
considering
a
administrative
citation
to
the
company
that
owns
the
liquor
license
that
operates
as
the
bakery
lounge
in
your
backup
material.
You
have
a
memo
that
talks
about
the
the
city
code,
provisions
that
are
in
place
and
also
provides
three
incident
reports
related
to
a
somewhat
routine
inspection
of
the
property
on
september,
9th,
where
there
was
significant
non-compliance
with
the
governor's
executive
orders
and
the
guidance
related
to
covid
in
the
operation
of
bars.
B
B
There
is
a
predetermined
citation
amount
or
fine
amount
and
then,
as
things
get
worse,
there
are
predetermined
periods
of
license,
suspension
or
revocation
in
very
serious
cases
and
those
happen
without
the
council's
involvement.
But
obviously
you
can't
always
list
every
single
thing
that
might
be
done.
That
violates
the
liquor
laws,
so
the
ordinance
says
for
anything,
that's
not
on
the
list.
B
B
It
is
certainly
within
the
council's
prerogative
to
raise
or
lower
or
change
that
within
the
maximum
stated
in
the
in
the
ordinance,
but
it
was
felt
that
using
the
standard
minimum
for
a
first
time,
offense
kept
things
even
it
kept
things
within
the
in
the
realm
of
what
a
license
holder
might
expect
to
occur
if
there
is
a
infraction
of
the
law,
and
so
it
was
felt,
at
least
by
staff
and
the
police
department
and
the
city
attorney's
office,
that
that
would
be
an
appropriate
level
of
penalty
for
this
infraction.
B
So
we
have
a
member
of
law
enforcement
who
participated
in
these
inspections
available.
If
the
council
has
questions
otherwise,
you
can
certainly
rely
upon
the
the
written
incident
reports.
Primarily.
I
believe
that
this
hearing
is
designed
to
allow
the
license
holder
who's
here,
to
state
his
case
or
to
explain
why
perhaps
there
shouldn't
be
a
citation
at
all
or
if
there
should
be
why
some
penalty
other
than
a
500
dollar
fine
should
be
appropriate.
So
with
that,
mr
mayor,
I
would
and
just
ask
if
there
are
any
questions
of
me
or
law
enforcement
related
this.
A
D
Curtis
sorensen
303
27th
drive
northwest
and
I
believe
I
can
remove
this
for
a
public
hearing
here.
As
far
as
the
exo
applies
covet,
it's
been
a
battle
I'll
kind
of
just
go
back
to
the
beginning,
get
through
this
fast.
This
is
the
first
issue
on
the
docket
tonight
I'll
try
not
to
take
up
too
much
of
your
time.
Obviously
march
17th.
We
were
closed
until
june
10th.
We
were
allowed
to
open
with
guidelines
and
restrict
restrictions.
D
We
did
so
on
june,
10th
july
20th.
I
actually
have
here
a
inspection
from
the
minnesota
health
department,
so
we
were
inspected
on
july
20th
we
passed
inspection.
It
is
right
in
there
in
black
and
white,
discuss,
covet
19
preparedness
plan
tables
are
properly
distanced.
Employees
are
wearing
masks
playing
on
site.
Everything
was
good
to
go.
We
haven't
moved
any.
What.
D
That
is
july
20th.
Oh,
they
came
during
the
day:
12
44
p.m.
Okay
and
our
compliance
checks
were
right
around
midnight,
so
everything
was
good.
Then
we
haven't
moved
any
tables
or
changed
any
of
our
seating.
We've
actually
eliminated
more
seating.
Since
then,
now
the
darts
and
pool
has
started,
and
we
have
assigned
seating
for
that
to
try
and
combat
this.
On
september
8th,
there
was
a
call
from
a
concerned
citizen.
I
have
the
email
from
captain
clennan
here.
D
Basically
it
was
a
hotline
that
goes
straight
to
the
state
from
the
state
they
transfer
it
to
bca,
bca
transit
to
local
law
enforcement
and
they
follow
protocol.
The
chief
delivered
that
I
believe
it
was
within
a
day
or
two
of
that
actually
don't
have
that
here.
So
at
that
point
I
really
started
cracking
down
on
employees.
I
never
thought
I'd
be
doing
this,
but
I'm
auditing
tape
and
looking
at
employees
for
wearing
masks
and
following
coped
procedures
that
are
laid
out
before
them.
D
Then,
on
the
19th
we
had
the
compliance
check
at
midnight.
We
were
at
capacity
when
we
had
the
check.
I
was
not
there.
I
received
a
phone
call
from
the
bartender
that
they
spoke
with.
She
told
me
that
we
failed
a
compliance
check,
that
there
were
people
not
sitting
people
by
the
pool
tables
people
not
wearing
masks,
and
she
was
to
inform
me
of
this.
I
said
we'll
hand
out
all
the
masks.
We
have
ask
people
to
sit
down.
Politely
do
the
best
you
can
and
I'll
get
the
paperwork
and
we'll
go
from
there.
D
The
next
I
heard
about
this
was
when
I
received
the
actual
ticket
clinton
delivered
it
to
me
where
I
was
working,
and
I
read
the
actual
police
report.
I
didn't
know
until
that
was
delivered,
that
they
actually
found
employees
not
wearing
masks
with
as
hard
as
I
have
been
on.
Our
group
chat
and
talking
with
everybody
mascot
mask
up
I've
gotten
over
400
masks
from
city
council
or
not
city
council
from
the
chamber.
I've
got,
I
think,
100
mass
from
the
city
from
craig,
so
we've
been
doing
what
we
could.
D
We're
actually
not
even
on
speaking
terms,
which
I
do
not
like
I'm
not
that
kind
of
boss,
but
you
know
I
never
thought
I'd,
be
auditing
cameras
and
and
going
through
this
for
not
fights
or
theft,
but
for
mass
compliance,
and
she
was
a
big
offender
50
of
her
shift.
She
was
working.
She
was
not
wearing
a
mask
when
they
came
in.
I
looked
right
at
it.
She
did
not
have
it
on.
She
had
it
on
her
chin
and
I
see
it
places.
D
I
go,
I'm
not
going
to
talk
about
what
I
think
or
what
we
think,
because
that
doesn't
matter
we're
here,
because
this
is
what
is
required
of
us
as
a
business,
and
I
am
at
fault
no
question
when
they
came
in.
We
did
not
have
them
on.
Since
that
happened.
We
have
had
another
compliance
which
the
chief
told
you.
We
parent
craig,
told
you
sorry
that
we
passed.
D
D
D
D
B
Yeah,
so
what
I
indicated
in
my
memo
is
the
first
question
is
whether
or
not
the
conduct,
that's
documented
in
the
police
report.
Considering
mr
sorensen's
comments
here
is
the
type
of
infraction
that
should
lead
to
a
administrative
citation,
and
then,
if
that
is
answered,
is
yes,
what
should
the
penalty
be,
and
your
range
of
penalties
could
be
anywhere
from
zero
dollars,
because
the
embarrassment
of
having
to
be
here
tonight
is
punishment
enough
or
all
the
way
up
to
two
thousand
dollars
in
in
some
suspension.
B
The
recommendation
is
a
five
hundred
dollar
fine,
but
it
really
is
up
to
the
council
to
decide
what
in
the
range
of
possible
punishments
is,
is
appropriate
in
these
circumstances
and
as
I've
highlighted,
you
have
to
consider
not
only
what
is
happening
with
mr
sorensen
and
his
establishment,
because
this
will
definitely
have
a
direct
impact
on
him,
but
also
what
message
this
sends
to
all
the
bars
and
restaurants
in
the
community,
who
I'm
sure
are
now
aware
that
this
has
happened,
because
this
kind
of
news
spreads
and
we'll
be
looking
to
see
how
serious
the
enforcement
is
going
to
be
of
these
rules
locally.
B
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
go
around
with
the
council
in
just
a
minute
and
you
know
we'll
hear
what
they
say.
I
get
to
go
first
because
I
don't
vote,
but
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
we
said
when
we
started
this
is
we
don't
want
to?
We
want
to
get
compliance,
but
we
don't
want
to
put
people
out
of
business.
You
know
a
500
fine.
It
looks
like
the
actions
he's
taken
he's
taking
this
very
seriously.
I
I
think.
Obviously
you
know
the
question
the
conduct
number
one
is
yes.
A
E
I
guess
I
thought
that
the
suggestion
in
the
memo
for
mr
byram
was
just
right.
I
think
500
is
reasonable.
I
think
if
this
was
based
on
literally
one
visit
and
non-compliance
that
would
be
out
of
line,
but
as
I'm
reading
the
materials
it
was
not
one
visit,
it
was
several
different
visits
with
violations
at
each
one.
E
So
I
certainly
don't
think
we
should
go
any
higher,
but
I'm
inclined
to
affirm
the
citation
and
levy
the
500
fine-
and
I
appreciate
mr
sorenson
being
here
and
speaking
on
behalf
of
his
his
business
and
thank
you.
I
I'm
sure
it
is
a
challenge
to
get
the
public
and
employees
to
comply,
but
I
feel
like
that's
the
that's
one
of
the
responsibilities
of
being
a
business
owner
right
now.
E
Somehow
you
got
to
figure
it
out
and
it's
literally
life
and
death
for
some
people
when
we're
we're
talking
about
having
the
covet
spread,
spread
and
spread
faster.
So
that's
where
I'm
at.
F
F
I
agree
that
we
got
to
stop
the
spread
even
more,
and
I
run
a
business
as
well
in
here
in
this
town,
and
I
get
it
it's
hard
to
get
co-workers
to
wear
those
masks
properly
but
being
on
co-workers
to
make
sure
that
they're
constantly
pulling
the
mask
up
where
they
need
to
be
offering
free
masks
to
people
that
do
not
have
masks
as
they
come
in
the
door
is
something
that
we
do
as
well.
So
I
appreciate
you
offering
mass
to
all
your
patrons
that
come
to
the
door,
the
500
fine,
I'm
good.
F
With
that,
I
I
could
go
a
little
lower
to
be
honest
with
you.
250
would
sound,
okay
with
me,
because
he's
taken
the
steps
to
make
sure
that
he
rectifies
what's
been
going
on
at
his
establishment.
I
get
it,
customers,
don't
always
listen.
I've
been
there.
I
work
in
retail
understand
that
so
you
know
I
could
go
lower
just
so
that
it's
not
as
painful,
but
if
everyone
else
wants
500,
I'm
good
with
that
too.
Thank
you.
D
We
purchased
over
800
mass
in
the
last
two
weeks
and
we
actually
there's
only
two
police
compliance
checks.
One
was
fail.
One
was
passed.
The
first
one
was
a
800
number
tip
line
that
a
patron
called.
G
G
And
I
know
that
that
establishment
was
warned.
The
other
side
of
me
tonight
thinks
that,
as
we've
been
trying
to
protect
our
small
businesses
too,
through
some
help
of
you
know,
the
cares
act
money
and
we
want.
G
We
don't
want
to
ding
them
too
much
to
me
it's
what
amount
of
money
will
will
help
mitigate
other
businesses
from
from
doing
the
same,
so
I
I'm
kind
of
more
into
the
waller
camp
here,
saying
yep,
clear
violation,
but
I'm
I'm
probably
interested
in
saying
it
may
sting
enough
to
250
to
other
entities
to
say
yeah,
that's
deep
enough
penalty
that
I'm
not
gonna,
I'm
not
gonna
try
to
mess
with
that
emergency
order.
So
I
I'd
be
inclined
to
say
yeah
penalty
at
250.
E
B
A
system
yes,
there's
a
september
ninth
inspection
where
a
male
employee
was
the
primary
contact
and
then
follow
up
with
mr
sorenson.
Then
there's
ten
days
later
on
september,
19th,
a
follow-up
check
where
a
female
employee
was
the
primary
contact
and
I
believe
there
was
follow-up
with
mr
sorenson
directly.
Then
there's
a
september
26th.
D
The
chief
might
be
able
to
clarify
too
the
the
ninth
was
following
up
from
the
hotline
tip
from
a
a
anonymous
source.
I
Correct
so
the
the
anonymous
source
is,
you
know
legally
nothing,
but
we
do
have
an
ability
to
inspect.
I
went
over
again
about
the
noon
hour
and
again.
My
report,
I
spoke
to
joe
jarvis.
I
He
was
present
along
with
another
female
who
looked
to
be
cleaning
and
one
person
who
was
looked
to
be
playing
pool.
I
did
not
observe
any
of
the
three
I
have
a
mask
on
and
when
I
stated
why
I
was
there
joe
did
produce
one
and
put
one
on
the
purpose
of
my
visit
was
to
follow
up
on
the
on
the
anonymous
piece,
but
also
yes,
there
wasn't
mass
square,
but
again
there's
three
people
we
spoke
about
it.
The
eo
was
given,
along
with
the
deeds
safe,
safe
guidelines
were
given
at
that
point
in
time.
I
I
would
consider
that
all
to
be
part
of
that
initial
warning
in
education,
but
what
did
the
bar
employee
have
a
mask
on?
They
did
not
at
that
point
in
time.
Our
hope
was.
We
wouldn't
have
had
something
like
the
19th
that
we
found
so
much
non-compliance
that
it
led
to
this
officers.
Again,
though,
went
the
next
weekend,
and
although
there
were
still
some
minor
inconsistencies,
you
were
present
and
it
looked
like
some
substantial
steps
were
being
taken
to
make
that
effort
to
come
into
compliance,
which
again,
we
greatly
appreciate.
D
D
I
J
Let's
see,
I
have
a
couple
of
questions
so
if,
if
a
fine
is
issued,
what
what
is
the
follow-up
to
that
are
they
do?
They
have
regular
compliance
checks
after
that,
how
does
that
work.
B
Compliance
checks
are
always
available
inside
and
outside
of
kovid
law
enforcement
has
the
right
to
enter
into
and
inspect
liquor,
licensed
premises,
and
so
would
law
enforcement
have
a
reason
to
inspect
sure
they
might.
Certainly,
if
there's
additional
complaints
they
would.
B
I
Generally
speaking,
under
ordinance,
part
of
getting
a
liquor
license
is
the
stipulation
that
you
are
open
to
inspection
to
ensure
that
you
are
following
and
abiding
by
your
liquor
license.
We
would
normally
be
doing
them
more
regularly
than
we
have
been
due
to
coved
but
one.
Obviously,
those
businesses
were
closed
for
a
considerable
period
of
time,
so
we
were
not
entering
them.
Also,
we
tried
to
be
respectful,
even
though
our
officers
would
wear
n95,
masks,
etc
and
not
introducing
ourselves.
So
to
speak
into
those
environments.
I
We
have
started
to
do
just
those
again
normal
checks,
it's
just
in
addition
to
you
know
where
the
lecture's
going.
You
know
things
of
that
nature.
We've
added
the
executive
order
and
the
mass
square
into
some
of
the
things
we're
looking
for
as
we
do,
those
those
checks
normally
and
expand
out
to
other
bars
and
restaurants
as
well.
D
I
I
actually
requested
the
second
compliance
check
when
clinton
gave
me
the
ticket,
I
did
not
give
a
date
or
a
time
they
choose
that,
of
course,
and
they
showed
up
on
saturday
at
midnight.
We
were
at
capacity
of
113
turning
people
away,
and
I
will
gladly
probably
request
more
compliance
checks.
I
Yeah,
we
don't
have
a
problem
being
I
don't
think
I
don't
think
with
the
bad
guy
is
not
the
right
word
to
use,
but
certainly
a
business
can
leverage
our
you
know
coming
through
and
being
there
to
help
them,
whether
it's,
whether
it's
this
or
some
other
type
of
behaviors,
I
mean
really
our
our
presence
in
you
know
the
bars
and
stuff.
We
want
to
be
an
aide
to
those
bar
business
owners
to
making
sure
no
matter
what
situations
might
present
themselves
that
they
know
that
we're
nearby.
I
We
want
to
be
helpful
and
again
it's
it's
unfortunate.
We
issued
a
citation,
but
I
am
heartened
by
what
mr
sorensen
has
said
here
tonight.
I'm
I'm
impressed
with
the
steps
he's
taken
and
what
he's
had
to
say
tonight.
K
J
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know,
because
there
were
really
two
different
times
that
they
were
non-compliant.
J
It
sounds
like
kurt,
is
doing
all
the
right
things,
hard
lesson
to
learn.
Unfortunately,
but
so
I'm
I'm
split
between
becky
and
laura.
L
Yes,
obviously,
mr
sorenson's
doing
what
he
can
to
keep
things
under
compliance
there.
When
he's
not,
there
seems
like
some
of
the
employees
and
patrons
are
not
doing
what
they're
supposed
to
be
doing.
L
Obviously,
in
violation
times
are
tough.
I
realize
that,
but
I
think
he's
trying
to
do
what
he
can
to
make
this
correct
to
to
help
his
business
more
compliant.
So,
yes,
he
has
a
few
violations
there,
but
I
guess
I'm
going
to
kind
of
lean
towards
that
250.
Just
for
the
fact
that
you
know
that
will
be
an
amount
to
set
an
example
for
others,
but
not
substantially
enough
to
to
to
make
a
financial
impact.
L
So
I'm
okay
with
the
lower
amount
just
to
set
an
example.
M
M
So
then,
the
question
for
me
comes
down
to
is
the
500
amount
reasonable
and
in
my
mind
I
think
it
is
because
when
you
look
at
the
full
range
of
options
that
we
have
we're
not
revoking
the
liquor
license,
we're
not
suspending
it
for
any
number
of
days,
we're
still
on
the
low
we're
in
the
25th
percentile
of
the
total
penalties
that
we
can
have,
and
so
I
think
the
recommendation
coming
from
the
city
attorney
of
500
to
me
makes
sense
because
it
puts
it
in
par
with
if
you're
serving
alcohol,
minors
or
if
people
are
being,
you
know,
served
after
hours
or
there's
gambling,
and
when
I
think
about
the
community
impact,
I
think
the
community
impact
of
people
not
wearing
masks
and
crowded
bars,
while
drinking
is
just
as
great,
if
not
greater
than
the
community
impact
of
serving
to
minors
or
any
of
those
other
similar
types
of
violation.
M
I
think
I
could
be
talked
into
250,
but
I
think
my
big
concern
is
what
is
the
message
and
what's
the
deterrent,
that
we
have
for
other
businesses
that
are
in
town,
and
you
know,
I
think,
we're
very
lucky
that
mr
sorensen
is
a
strong
business
owner
and
does
a
wonderful
job
of
really
taking
accountability
for
it.
And
I
give
him
a
tremendous
amount
of
credit
for
that.
M
I
think,
what's
going
to
be,
tough
is
if
we
set
the
penalty
at
250
for
the
bakery
and
somebody
comes
in
and
they
haven't
taken
accountability
for
it
or
they
haven't
done
anything
and
we're.
In
the
same
conversation,
a
month
from
now,
it's
difficult
for
us
to
justify
anything
higher
than
250
which
to
me,
I
think
it's
still
in
the
pretty
low
end,
so
I'd
be
in
favor
of
both
yes
and
a
500
fight.
N
As
far
as
a
fine,
I
tend
to
agree
the
250,
I
think,
sends
this
a
good
message
without
being
too
harsh,
so
I
would
be
on
board
with
that.
A
Okay,
I
think
there's
a
clear
consensus
here
for
two
of
the
250.
I
just
want
to
state.
Mr
byram,
I
mean
we
get
another
violation.
We
can
consider
this
a
first
violation,
but
if
we
have
a
significant
violation
where
they
haven't
done
taking
the
actions
500,
I
mean
I
think
we
should
send
notice
to
people
business
owners
now
that
that
500
fine
is
very
much
on
the
table.
If
somebody
else
gets
brought
in
front
of
us.
Having
said
that,
we
need
emotion.
F
D
A
H
Yes,
this
is
the
fall
assessments
that
we
have
there's
a
number
of
different
types
on
there,
mostly
to
do
with
administrative
things
that
we've
done
snow,
junk
removal,
weeds
grass,
hazardous
housing.
The
first
one
would
be
for
petition
sidewalks
and
driveways.
That
would
be
on
this
year's
and
last
year's
street
projects.
So
we'll
go
through
the
assessments
and
if
there's
any
questions,
we
can
ask
the
individual
department
head.
That
has
the
matter.
A
A
A
F
J
A
For
the
same
item,
we
need
a
resolution
adopting
the
assessment
role.
A
Thank
you,
seven
is
resolution.
It's
public
hearing
and
assessments
for
the
2019,
2020
snow
removal,
same
thing,
ann
anybody
have
any
questions,
counsel
any
questions
or
comments.
This
is
a
public
hearing.
Is
there
anybody
here?
That
need
wants
to
make
a
comment
on
this.
If
not,
we
need
a
resolution
for
seven
adopting
the
assessment
role.
C
Okay,
councilmember
waller
king
aye.
C
C
A
A
A
P
Okay,
so
our
position
is
that
we
have
not
been
given
due
process
each
and
every
time
we've
had
a
violation.
P
P
The
city
employees
have
chosen
not
to
use
any
of
the
provided
contact
information
for
those
properties
to
contact
us
regarding
abatement
of
any
trash
issues.
I
don't
know
why
that
is,
I
think
you
know
if
they
want
to
work
hand
in
hand
with
landlords,
it
would
make
sense
to
me
for
that
department
to
utilize,
email
and
or
phone
as
faster
methods
of
breaching
owners.
P
I
can
understand
when
the
council
wrote
the
ordinance
they
were
envisioning
nuisance,
trash
issues
of
individual
homeowners,
but
especially
now
during
the
time
of
covet
19,
when
we
can't
evict
tenants,
we
actually
have
one
of
the
properties
mentioned.
404.
tenant
has
been
arrears
since
march
of
this
year
and
we
we
still
cannot
evict
them.
There's
no
indication
of
when
we
can
evict
them.
P
The
only
thing
we
can
do
is
cure
any
deficiencies
or
if
there's
trash
out
and
we're
notified,
we
can
get
it
fixed,
but
for
the
city
of
austin
to
treat
this
as
a
continuing
violation,
just
it,
it
doesn't
sync
with
reality
in
terms
especially
in
terms
of
due
process.
So
I
would
ask
the
council
to
waive
both
of
those
fines.
A
A
I
do
okay,
I
and
you
have
managers
for
your
property.
I
I
mean
we
get
this
from
time
to
time.
This
is
between
you
and
your
tenants.
Your
tenants
are
the
ones
that
are
supposed
to
take
care
of
the
garbage
if
they
don't
take
care
of
the
garbage.
You
know,
and
it's
common
for
people
that
live
out
of
town.
For
these
type
of
things
to
happen.
You
know
you
need
a
property
manager
or
whatever
that's
going
to
stay
right
on
top
of
it.
Your
property
manager
has
not
done
that.
So
you
know
I
I.
P
Q
Yeah
yep,
our
so
our
ordinance
does
allow
for
repeat:
offenses
does
not
require
a
notice
within
a
24-month
period.
In
this
particular
instance,
there
are
two
different
properties
involved:
the
first
property.
Q
There
was
a
complaint
and
that
complaint
was
confirmed
by
inspection
on
june
23rd
and
when
the
inspector
went
out
to
do
a
follow-up
inspection,
the
original
materials
that
had
been
out
there
were
cleaned
up,
so
the
petitioner
was
aware
and
did
take
care
of
that
initial
pile
of
junk,
but
the
second
there
was
there
was
additional
material
there
upon
the
second
inspection
which
was
to
to
verify
compliance.
So
we
considered
it
an
ongoing
violation.
Q
P
Well
I'll
make
it
clear,
because
it's
actually
in
the
letter-
that's
provided
the
council
they're,
not
the
same
building
so
you're,
because
three
separate
physical
buildings
are
on
the
same
piece
of
land.
You,
your
office,
treated
it
as
a
continuing
violation
and
they
weren't.
There
were
two
separate
buildings
and
it's
clearly
lined
up
in
the
letter.
A
P
Then,
provided
no
pictures
and
that's
one
of
my
complaints
with
the
city
of
boston.
If
you
want
to
charge
us
with
something
honestly,
you
should
provide
some
evidence
because,
if
especially
in
concord
with
what
is
a
trash
or
whether
it's
been
remedied,
if
you
have
a
picture,
you
can
say:
okay,
there
was
a
couch
there
and
it
got
removed.
Okay,
there's
a
tv
there
as
of
this
state
and
it
hasn't
been
removed.
Yeah,
if,
if
all
is
to
keep
explaining
we're
on.
Q
Door,
we
don't,
we
don't
include
the
pictures
with
the
with
the
with
the
letter.
P
Q
It
depends
I
mean
we
certainly
have
you
know
we
do
almost
90
complaints
a
month
on
top
of
all
the
other
duties
that
the
one
inspector
that
we
have
is
required
to
do
so.
The
the
most
typical
procedure
for
us
is
to
send
a
letter,
and
then
we
can
follow
up
with
the
property
owner
when
they
contact
us.
Q
If
they
don't
want
to
contact
us
but
want
to
just
take
care
of
the
problem,
that's
fine
as
well,
and
then
we
can
verify
that
we
did
that.
J
E
Yeah,
I
almost
hate
to
muddy
the
waters,
but
my
I
in
my
packet,
I
don't
see
a
response
from
mr
howard.
I
just
see
the
city's
materials
and
I
I
guess
I
would
like
to
hear
about
hear
about
the
process
from
holly's
side.
Mr
howard,
we
on
the
council
do
get
photos,
they
take
the
photos
and
I
guess
I'm
interested
in
this
communication
part,
because
I
think
what
you're
saying
is
that
the
city
just
uses
postal
mail
to
tell
you.
E
Q
You
know
we
don't
always
have
good
luck,
emailing
and
with
telephone
calls
either.
I
called
mr
howard
and
immediately
got
a
message
that
his
voicemail
was
full.
P
And
I
called
you
back
five
minutes
later:
holly,
don't
tell
half
the
story.
Please.
Q
You
did
you
did
you
called
me
back
five
minutes
later,
but
I
think
if
you're
a
business
person
who
wants
to
be
available
to
to
communications,
I
think
you
need
to
correct
that.
I
mean
that
doesn't
send
a
message
that
you're
responsive
I'm.
A
Q
Q
Q
Q
All
right
so
yeah
I
mean
we
can,
we
can
do
email,
we
can
do
telephone,
but
typically
it's
not
our
our
common
method
of
handling
these
matters.
Q
Just
due
to
the
the
volume
it's
just
simpler
for
us
to
send
a
letter,
anything
that
we
can
do
to
really
to
limit
the
face-to-face
interactions
actually
saves
time
and
improves
the
efficiency
of
our
program
and
allows
us
to
do
a
lot
more
than
we
would
typically
be
able
to
if
we're
doing,
a
lot
of
interaction
or
having
a
lot
of
interactions
with
each
individual
violator.
Q
The
reason
why
we
do
the
fine
without
a
notice
on
the
repeat
offense
is
because
of
the
same
reason
we
expect
people
to
be
aware
of
the
violation
in
the
rules
and
to
take
care
of
those
issues
as
they
occur.
So
in
this
instance,
whether
the
violation
was
clearly
at
one
property
or
another.
Q
The
I
did
hear
a
number
of
excuses
from
mr
howard
and
his
wife
and
from
his
property
manager.
They
were
all
different,
so
I'm
not
really
sure
how
the
materials
ended
up
there
or
why
they
were
there.
Mr
howard
did
send
an
email,
I
didn't
it
didn't
get
included
in
the
packet,
so
mr
howard
has
to
explain
why
the
property
or
the
materials
ended
up
where
they
were.
His
wife
also
had
some
comments.
I
think-
and
he
can
share
those
with
you
as
well.
P
This
is
written
for
my
wife
who's,
an
attorney.
She
practices
hoa
law,
so
she
writes
violation
letters
on
a
daily
basis
for
homeowners,
association
and
she's,
well
aware
of
the
legal
requirements
for
for
continuing
relations
versus
new
violations
and
as
as
simple
as
her
life
would
be.
If
she
could
just
send
out
oh
you're
continuing
to
violate
letter,
she
can't
it's
not
it's
not
due
process,
it's
not
within
the
law.
She
didn't
write
that,
but
I'm
going
to
read
her
letter
to
the
record.
P
I
had
a
long
conversation
with
brent
last
week.
He
confirmed
that
the
original
letter
regarding
trash
at
6,
14
and
materials
that
had
been
removed
from
616
as
we
were
cleaning
out
and
renovating
the
property
were
complained
about
by
a
neighbor
on
or
about
june
23
2020
upon
receipt
of
the
original
letter.
Not
only
did
we
remove
the
trash
and
take
the
materials
to
the
dump,
but
dusty,
who
is
our
maintenance?
Guy,
went
to
your
office
to
make
sure
that
someone
was
made
aware
that
we
had
remedied.
P
Brent
acknowledged
that
that
a
neighbor
complained
again
on
or
about
july,
7th
2020
that
he
went
out
to
the
property
again
on
that
day,
but
that
no
letter
had
been
generated
at
that
time
about
the
construction
materials
at
6.
16.,
no
violation
existed
at
16
during
our
conversation
last
week,
brent
acknowledged
that
the
construction
materials
he
saw
on
july
7
2020
were
not
the
same
as
what
he
had
seen
originally
in
june.
P
He
also
brought
up
an
act
that
we
had
applied
for
and
been
granted
a
permit
on
july,
6
2020
to
replace
the
windows
at
6
16..
He
asked
me
last
week
that,
if
that
was
what
the
debris
was
from,
I
explained
to
him
that
the
prior
tenant
at
6
16
had
completely
trashed
the
unit
breaking
the
main
front
window
and
that
we
had
to
remove
all
the
drywall
from
inside
the
unit
as
well
as
replacing
the
window,
and
that
is
what
the
construction
materials
were
from.
P
I
asked
brent
why
a
second
letter
from
the
7
720
violation
was
not
sent
to
us
since
it
not
only.
He
was
aware
of
the
construction
work
that
was
being
done,
but
we
had
pulled
the
permit
the
day
before
and
he
acknowledged
that
it
was
not
the
same
trash
construction
materials
as
noted
on
623
20,
and
he
did
not
have
an
answer.
P
I
brought
up
the
fact
that
the
city
was
in
essence
treating
this
as
a
continuing
violation
when
in
fact
it
is
not,
and
there
has
been
no
notice
or
due
process
for
the
second
violation
nor
the
subsequent
fine.
His
response
was
that
we
needed
to
talk
to
holly
regarding
this
matter.
If
I
wanted
to
find
wave
or
some
other
resolution
for
the
reason
set
forth
above,
I
am
requesting
the
fines
be
waived.
We
did
not
ignore
the
letter.
P
We
cleaned
up
the
property
immediately
and
our
employee
went
to
the
city
to
make
sure
that
someone
was
aware
that
the
violation
had
been
remedied.
In
addition,
we
pulled
a
permit
to
do
construction
work
at
6
16
the
day
before
the
second
inspection
was
done,
and
it
was
known
that
we
did
that.
Third,
no
notice
was
ever
given
of
the
second
alleged
instance
of
a
violation
on
july
7
2020
by
any
means
whether
email,
telephone
or
letter
no
contact
was
made
until
a
letter
about
this
fine
was
sent
to
your
office.
Q
That
too,
as
well
go
ahead,
the
so
the
citation
for
the
properties
lists
all
all
of
the
properties
on
tenth
drive,
southeast
and
the
violation,
the
violation
letter
as
well
issues
or
notes
that
both
properties
need
to
be
cleaned
up.
So
it
did.
It
did
include
both
properties,
the
the
permit
that
we
have
was
issued
and
paid
for.
Well,
it
was
paid
for
on
august
21st.
Q
So
I'm
not
sure
what
permit
he's
talking
about
this
is
a
permit
corey.
Can
you
indicate
what
was
the
permit
pulled
for.
Q
Yeah
I
have
august
21st
replaced
three
windows
that
was
paid
on
audiences.
Q
And
I
understood
from
speaking
to
our
inspector
that
that
the
requirement
of
a
permit
was
indicated
to
you
and
it
hadn't
been
pulled
prior
to
the
work
beginning
and
then
also
that
the
materials
in
the
picture
are
not
just
construction
materials,
and
it's
not
clear
that
that
that
was
what
was
going
on
at
the
time.
I
mean
there
are
some
things,
but
the
yeah
so
just
wanted
to
clarify
on
the
permit
issue.
Q
Anyway.
If
the
council
has
any
other
questions,
please
feel
free
to
follow
up.
H
Q
Q
So
then
that
time
period
has
since
lapsed
and
then
the
a
bill
was
sent
out
would
have
been
sent
out
to
the
property
owner.
The
bill
wasn't
paid.
So
then,
at
that
point,
then
ms
kasil
went
through
the
process
of
doing
the
assessment,
so
I
don't
know
why.
But
we
seem
to
sporadically
get
communication
from
mr
howard
and
some
things
he
knows
about
and
some
things
he
doesn't
know
about,
and
that
brings
us
to
where
we
are
now.
Mr
byron.
B
Yeah,
I'm
trying
to
read
through
the
backup
material
and
get
my
sense
of
this
of
the
timeline,
which
appears
to
be
a
little
bit
confused
by
the
various
testimonies
tonight,
but
but
I
would
generally
agree
with
holly's
last
statement,
which
is
there
were
notices
of
the
violations
that
that
were
sent.
They
were
sent
to
the
address
that
was
on
file
in
june.
B
What
that
building
permit
has
to
do
with
the
issue
is
unclear
to
me
at
the
moment,
but
there
is
a
process
if
you
receive
an
administrative
citation
to
challenge
that
citation
or
appeal
that
citation
we've
we've
gone
through
that
process
on
other
citations
in
the
past.
So
there
is
a
mechanism
if
a
landowner
feels
that
they've
been
improperly
cited
for
a
violation
to
challenge
that
at
this
point
in
time
the
citation
has
become
final
and
the
only
question
is
whether
it
should
be
assessed
against
the
taxes
for
collection
purposes.
B
B
If
there's
some
other
way
of
collecting
or
some
other
way
that
the
council
wants
to
approach,
what
is
basically
a
finalized
citation
from
back
in
july
now,
I
suppose
you
always
have
inherent
authorities
to
to
do
that,
but
the
citation
itself
has
been
beyond
its
appeal
period
for
quite
some
time
before
we
get
to
tonight-
and
this
is
this-
is
way
late
in
the
process
to
be
starting
to
raise
these
issues
before
the
council.
At
this
point
in
time,.
A
E
I
guess
I'm
very
confused
about
this
and
I'm
not
sure
that
we
as
council
got
all
the
information,
and
I
know
a
big
chunk
of
it-
came
to
us
today
late
as
an
addition.
So
I'm
not
totally
following
what
happened.
I
guess
I
feel,
like
mr
byram
just
said,
there
is
an
appeal
process.
E
None
of
these
I
mean
because,
because
he's
talking
about
several
different
citations,
apparently
none
of
these
went
through
the
formal
appeal
process
and
now
the
the
timeline
has
passed.
So
in
the
interest
of
being
fair
and
consistent
with
all
property
owners,
I
I
feel
like
we
can
go
forward
with
this
assessment.
I
will
note
that.
E
I
do
think
that
I'd
like
to
see
planning
and
zoning
just
take
a
look
at
that
and
take
a
look
at
how
that
could
be
a
little
bit
more
property
owner
friendly
and
also
take
advantage
of
of
technology.
It
seems
to
me
just
because
we're
fast
and
efficient
at
sending
out
a
paper
letter
in
the
mail
doesn't
mean
there,
isn't
a
fast
and
efficient
way
to
send
emails,
particularly
if
for
the
rental
properties,
where
we
should
have
a
lot
of
that
on
file.
O
Just
a
couple
points,
thank
you
mayor,
just
to
be
real
clear.
The
ordinance
has
drafted
a
10.14
subdivision
for
f,
specifically
designate
certified
mail,
so
we're,
I
guess
in
a
basic
premise,
following
the
ordinance
directly,
could
we
use
other
methods?
I
suppose
that's
possible
and
we
generally
do
the
question
about
due
process,
and
this
is
the
case
with
any
of
our
administrative
citations.
O
Essentially,
I
mean
most
of
these
things,
whether
it
be
mowing
or
grass
or
not,
leaving
trash
in
the
yard.
Most
of
us,
I
think,
commonly
expect
that
that
one
we
would
start
off
with
that
being
an
expectation
we
consistent
with
our
mode
of
operation.
We
work
with
people
and
we
give
them
another
notice.
O
We
give
them
another
chance
to
correct
the
violation
by
sending
the
letter,
but
after
we've
exhausted
that
by
sending
them
a
letter
and
surpassed
the
common
expectation
that
you
can't
leave
trash
in
your
yard
that
serves
as
notice
as
holly
mentioned,
going
forward
for
a
two-year
period
and
other
things.
I
think
council
should
consider
these
provisions
through
a
landlord-tenant
situation,
though
it's
obviously
incumbent
upon
the
landlord
can
be
charged
to
the
tenant.
O
If
the
tenant
was
responsible
for
making
the
mess,
a
landlord
could
have
that
as
a
cost
that
they
can
levy
against
the
tenant
so
or
if
the
contractor
left
the
mess,
then
they
could.
They
could
be
responsible
for
that
as
well.
So
there's
a
lot
of
avenues
and
we
always
take
the
practice
to
work
with
people
to
correct
the
violation.
O
F
F
I
would
like
to
see
a
little
bit
better
communication
between
the
planning
and
zoning.
Just
maybe
emailing
would
be
great
option.
It's
a
faster
way
of
getting
it.
Snail
mail
sometimes
doesn't
work
as
well,
but
I
definitely
wish
these
concerns
would
have
come
up
earlier
versus
now
we're
doing
the
assessment.
So
I'm
in
agreement
with
doing
the
assessments.
G
So
I
we
get
over
600
complaints
a
year
on
property.
The
citizens
are
certainly
due
a
neighborhood
that
doesn't
is
not
littered
with
junk
or
cars
parked
in
the
lot,
and,
like
I
said
in
the
beginning,
I
trust
our
process.
I
trust
our
ordinance
and
I
see
no
reason
to
depart
from
what
our
action
is
tonight.
J
L
L
He
did
receive
notices
and
finally
came
to
us
now
with
some
issues.
So
I
am
going
to
approve
the
assessment
as
well.
M
M
There
was
certainly
an
appeals
process
as
part
of
this,
the
complainant
determined
not
to
avail
themselves
of
that
process,
and
I
don't
feel
comfortable
with
us
coming
in
three
months
later,
four
months
later
and
overturning
that,
if
we're
having
this
conversation
june
18th
june
17th,
I
might
have
a
a
different
viewpoint,
but
I
think
the
second
thing
is,
you
know.
The
goal
is
fundamentally
not
to
have
issues
like
this
take
place
in
the
first
place,
and
you
know
you
hear
mr
sorensen
come
in
and
say
hey,
we
had
an
issue,
I'm
accountable
for
it.
M
M
M
Do
I
think
we
could
communicate
better
sure?
Would
I
be
interested
in
looking
at
you
know
some
updates
to
the
ordinance
if
available,
absolutely
at
the
same
time?
It's
not
the
planning
and
zoning
department's
job
to
babysit
the
properties
we
should
be
looking
at.
How
do
we
have
land
awards?
Make
sure
that
these
issues
don't
take
place
in
the
first
place,
and
if
we
do
have
property
managers
and
we're
still
having
issues,
then,
let's
figure
out
a
better
system
for
how
that
works,
and
you
know.
M
N
Yeah,
I
guess
I
understand
using
certified
mail,
but
I'm
assuming
in
this
day
and
age,
we're
not
typing
those
letters
out
on
a
typewriter
that
we're
using
a
computer
and
it
could
be
easily
emailed
at
the
same
time
that
it's
mailed
out.
I
understand
we
could
probably
I
would
think
there'd
be
confirmation
of
receipt
available
in
the
software
program,
if
not
just
assume
that
they
get
it.
But
as
long
as
it's
sent
out
by
certified
mail,
I
guess
this
is
again
another
issue.
N
It
sounds
like
communication
within
the
the
planning
and
zoning
department
working
with
people
that
are
reported
by
someone,
as
in
violation
again
seems
to
be
lacking
the
customer
service
that
we
should
strive
to
have,
and
I
guess
I
would
like
to
see
that
improved,
and
I
guess
that's
all.
I
have
to
say.
A
Okay,
mr
howard,
we're
going
to
vote
on
it
now,
if
you
have
any
more
no.
I
A
All
right
we'll
get
up
to
11,
then
and
we'll
address
the
issue
at
that
time.
Number
eight
is
a
resolution
of
public
hearing
and
assessments
for
2020
garbage
and
junk
removal.
Mr
howard
has
spoken
spoken.
Is
there
anybody
else
that
wishes
to
address
this
issue?
Mr
howard,
do
you
have
anything
additional
you'd
like
to
say
on
this.
P
Are
you
done,
I
understood
another
one.
P
P
I
think
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
for
the
council
to
ask
planning
and
donating
to
copy
and
paste
those
emails
and
especially
the
pictures
into
an
email
if
they
have
an
electronic
form
which
it
sounds
like
they
do
doesn't
sound
like
it
would
be
an
onerous
amount
of
work
for
them
to
do
that.
A
I
think
you
have
some
sympathy
from
the
council
on
that.
I
think
we'll
be
looking
at
some
of
that
stuff
in
the
future.
So
right
now,
what
we
need
is
a
resolution
for
number
eight
adopting
the
assessment
role
so
move
the
resolution.
Is
there
a
second
second.
F
A
K
A
S
T
E
S
That,
okay,
to
remove
our
mask,
so
you
can
hear
us-
we've
owned
this
home
at
405
11th
street
for
15
years
have
never
had
a
complaint
about
it
about
the
grass.
T
Length
we
have
the
we
have
the
main
neighbor,
which
mows
a
lot
here
today.
That's
mike
bratton
go
ahead.
S
Okay,
on
july
15th,
we
were
sent
a
certified
letter,
not
july,
I
believe
yeah
I
was,
I
don't
have
okay,
they
came
that
I
signed
for
on
the
20th
our.
I
got
a
notice
because
we're
in
a
small
town
on
saturday-
and
I
couldn't
pick
up
the
certification
until
monday,
the
20th
we
I
went
to
where
my
husband
was
working
and
immediately
said
to
him.
I
said
something
must
be
wrong
because
we're
getting
a
notification
about
the
grass
in
minnesota.
K
S
S
T
Day
and
we
called
him
the
next
day-
and
he
said.
S
We
called
him
the
next
day
and
he
said
he
mowed
it.
He
mows
his
grass
in
those
hours.
He
lives
right
across
the
street
so
and
he
didn't
get
any
violations,
but
we
were
getting
a
violation,
so
we
didn't
understand
it
at
all.
So
I
questioned
it
and
like
a
month
later,
because
we
had
met
the
compliance
by
mowing,
which
you
can
see
in
the
picture
that
I
passed,
I
only
had
a
few
of
them.
I
didn't
know
there
were
this
many
people,
because
I've
never
had
to
come.
S
S
Well,
the
average
okay,
this
was
july,
so
this
is
your
stronger
month,
but
and
within
a
week
it's
not
going
to
grow
eight
inches
okay.
So
anyway,
in
a
month
later,
then
in
august
I
get
a
bill
for
140
dollars
in
violation.
Well,
we
met
the
requirements,
so
I
called
parks
in
the
parks
department
and
said
you
know.
I
don't
understand
the
bill
something's
wrong
here
and
basically
I
was
given
the
run
around
that
we
don't
live
in
the
states.
So
how
do
we
know
that
the
grass
was
cut?
S
S
Then
I
call
I
asked
to
talk
to
whoever
I
needed
to
because
the
person
sent
me.
The
picture
said
the
picture
before
that,
because
they
had
two
pictures.
They
could
see
that
she
could
see
that
there
was
improvement
from
the
first
picture
to
the
second
picture
that
we
had
cut
the
grass.
So
then
I
asked
for
someone
to
review
it
and
call
me
back.
T
Frustrated
because
we
figure
we're
not
getting
good
response
yeah.
We,
if
you
look
at
the
picture,
you
look
at
the
neighbor's
lawn
his.
S
S
K
T
T
U
And
I
think
you
had
also
yelled
at
patty
a
couple
of
times
that
day,
perhaps
a
day
before
as
well,
but
there
was
at
least
two
or
three
conversations
with
her
as
I
recollect
in
that
conversation
with
you,
you
asked
me
to
point
out
the
difference
between
your
neighbor's
lawn
or
your
lawn.
I
did
that
and
it
seemed
that
most
of
your
yard
was
in
compliance.
You
asked
about
the
hostas,
I
said
the
hostas
aren't
the
issue.
The
grass
alone
on
the
sidewalk
between
the
hostas
would
be
in
violation.
U
U
S
S
S
O
Mr
mayor
ma'am
is
this
mr
bratton,
then
yeah
yeah,
oh
mr
bryan,
then
did.
Are
you
mowing
the
boulevard?
Yes,
I
am
okay.
A
T
T
A
T
O
K
S
A
Sat
here
through
the
previous
one
and
and
I
would
have
to
say
that
maybe
our
communication
could
be
improved
if
you
came
all
the
way
from
illinois.
Just
for
this,
I'm
I'm
sure
you're.
You
know
I
mean
I
don't
know
what
else
you
got
going
on,
but
that's
a
pretty
long
trip.
I
pulled
it
up
here,
you're
all
pretty
close
to
chicago,
not
that
far
away.
T
S
You
know,
and
I
try
to
litigate
it
by
making
some
phone
calls.
I
was
angry
yes,
because
in
our
eyes
we
had
it
mode.
We
found
what
I
was
basically
accused
that
people
don't
sign
for
the
certified
letters
that
people
ignore
them.
They
don't
get
the
grasmal,
but
we
followed
all
the
rules
and
then
we
still
get
the
violation
well.
A
S
A
S
I
asked
him
to
compare
the
two
pictures
and
patty
who
hamilton,
I
think
her
last
name
is
when
she
she
said
yeah,
you
could
see
you
mowed
it.
Okay,
then
we're
within
the
codes.
So
why
are
we
getting
a
fine
and
I've?
Never.
I
never
saw
the
first
picture,
so
I
don't
know
what
the
first
picture
looked.
U
U
A
T
A
U
S
B
So
what
I
described
earlier
was
an
appeals
process
for
an
administrative
citation.
This
is
a
little
bit
different
because
this
is
actually
performing
work
and
then
billing
for
the
cost
of
that
work.
So
the
way
that
process
usually
works
is
there's
an
identification
of
an
issue
with
a
property
whether
it's
junk
or
weeds
or
mowing.
B
There's
a
letter,
that's
sent
that
says:
there's
a
problem
with
the
property,
then
there's
a
follow-up
inspection.
There
are
deadlines
in
that
letter
for
compliance,
there's
a
follow-up
inspection
to
see
if
the
land
owner
resolved
the
issue
themselves.
B
If,
on
that
follow-up
inspection,
there's
identified
continuing
problems
with
the
property
or
failure
of
the
property
owner
to
bring
it
into
compliance,
then
there's
a
process
for
having
the
work
done
and
then
billing
for
that
work.
So
there
are
opportunities
throughout
that
process
to
raise
objections
or
raise
issues,
but
it's
not
the
same
as
the
administrative
citation,
because
that's
that's
more
of
a
it's
more
in
line
with
a
criminal
penalty.
What
we
did
to
mr
sorensen
tonight,
it's
a
fine
where
this
is
not
a
penalty.
B
This
is
just
there
are
standards
for
maintaining
properties
in
austin.
You
have
fallen
out
of
compliance
with
those
standards,
we're
asking
you
nicely
to
bring
it
into
compliance.
If
you
don't
bring
it
into
compliance,
we'll
do
it
for
you,
then
we
do
it
for
you
and
we
just
assess
those
actual
costs,
then
onto
the
landowner.
So
there's
not
a
formal
process
necessarily
in
there
to
appeal
those
decisions
to
the
council
like
an
administrative
citation.
B
Okay
we'd
have
a
process
for
appeal,
but
there
is
a
process,
for
you
know
communicating
about
whether
there
has
been
compliance
and-
and
I
would
agree
with
with
with
our
park
and
rec
director-
that
we
would
not
say
that
we
mowed
a
lawn-
that
we
didn't
mow-
that
that's
not
that's,
not
logical.
B
So
there
was
a
letter
sent
that
the
grass
was
out
of
compliance.
There
was
a
follow-up
check
to
see
if
that
was
still
true
or
whether
the
homeowner
had
complied.
There
apparently
was
a
finding
that
it
was
not
in
compliance.
There
was
somebody
sent
out
to
do
the
mowing
and
then
the
costs
of
that
were
built.
A
Okay,
so
we're
having
a
public
hearing
on
the
assessment
for
wheat
and
grass,
but
we're
not
having
we're
not
in
a
thing
where
the
council
can
say:
okay,
we're
going
to
pull
your
fine
or
something
like
that.
That's
not
going
to
happen
here
tonight.
We
will
try
and
improve
our
communication
a
little
better.
I
would
like
that,
mr
mike,
you
should
make
him
the
contact
person.
A
A
Off
you
know,
I'm
not
we're
not
going
to
argue
that
you're
the
case
itself,
because
I
can't
argue
people
were
there
that
aren't
here
now
I
mean
you've
got
the
assessment
as
far
as
I
don't
the
assessment's
going
to
stand,
we'll,
try
and
make
it
more
friendly
the
next
time.
So
we.
A
T
A
Know
we're
trying
to
make
you
know
we're
supposed
to
be
good
to
citizens
and
try
and
work
with
them,
and
I
maybe
we
failed
a
little
bit
on
here,
but
we
don't
have
the
power
to
take
this
assessment
and
do
anything
else
with
it.
So
you
say
you
know
and
that
we
did
cut
the
lawn
it's
just
you're
gonna
have
to
stay
on
top
of
it
a
little
bit
more.
A
T
A
A
Thank
you
number
10
is
the
public
hearing
an
assessment
for
the
abatement
of
hazardous
housing
council,
any
thoughts
we
have
an
empty
chamber,
so
there's
not
going
to
be
any
citizen
input,
but
there's
any
citizen
on
on
zoom.
That
wants
to
make
a
comment
on.
This
doesn't
look
like
it.
A
A
A
C
C
K
A
K
O
Yeah
just
a
quick
thing,
mr
mayor,
I
want
to
thank
staff.
These
are,
and
also
the
council
and
mayor
you
didn't
run
for
council
for
the
glamour
of
having
these
assessments,
but
there
are,
I
think,
quite
a
number
of
constituents
that,
though
they
didn't
send
thank
yous
in
appreciate
that
we're
tending
to
these
matters.
They're
difficult
people
get
upset
with
those
and
we
feel
a
lot
of
calls
over
it,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
staff
for
going
through
the
arduous.
O
A
I'd
also
like
to
point
out
most
of
these
are
rental
properties,
so
the
fact
that
we
are
moving
on
rental,
ordinance
and
stuff
is
is
good.
It
shows
that
it
was
something
that
was
needed
under
petitions
and
requests
14.
We
need
a
motion
adopting
edward
he
clipped
appointing
head
edward
edwards,
hinchcliffe
to
the
library
board
term
expiring
december
31
2020..
G
C
M
A
You
fifteen
still
under
petitions
and
requests
as
a
resolution
approving
a
mndot
grant
agreement
for
the
austin
municipal
airport.
Mr.
R
A
A
A
Thank
you,
17
is,
I'm
not
sure
what
it
is
presenting
a
flood
report,
progress
for
the
mower
county,
all
hazard
mitigation
plan
holly,
I
think
you've
just
given
us
a
report
right
ollie.
A
A
B
N
Q
Q
Okay,
so
this
is
based
on
our
participation
in
our
community
rating
system.
No
action
is
needed,
but
in
order
to
participate
in
that
we
have
to
meet
certain
requirements,
and
one
of
them
is
to
do
a
yearly
summary
of
the
flood
projects
that
we've
done
related
to
our
hazard
mitigation
report.
Q
The
highlights
here
are
demolition
of
a
property
on
south
main
street
project
development,
which
our
city
engineer,
stephen
lang,
has
gone
over,
I'm
sure
several
times
with
the
turtle,
creek
flood
control
project,
the
sewer
lining
and
the
waste
water
treatment
plant,
flood
control,
project
design.
That
was
started
and
that's
it.
Thank
you.
A
C
A
Seems
like
we
have
an
awful
lot
of
violations
under
that
name.
I
don't
know
after
so
many
did
you
get
a
toaster
or
something
because
they
say
that
name
all
the
time
c.
1500.
Fourth
avenue
northwest
home
for
now,
llc
property.
We
need
a
motion.
C
I
The
federal
government
distributes
money
to
the
state
to
support
law
enforcement
efforts
in
combination
with
the
state's
educational
efforts,
and
we've
had
this
grant
for
probably
15
to
20
years
this
year.
It's
one
hundred
and
twenty
five
dollars
as
part
of
executing
the
grant
by
which
we
schedule
austin
police
department
and
mower
county
sheriff's
officers
to
work
special
enforcement
shifts
and
are
reimbursed
under
this
grant.
We
do
need
the
council
to
approve
the
resolution
authorizing
the
exec
execution
of
this
agreement.
A
E
Oh
man,
I'm
not
prepared
to
be
first,
but
I
will
I'll
just
jump
in
actually
austin
area.
Arts
is
doing
a
community
authors
discussion
on
saturday
this
coming
saturday,
the
10th
it's
a
book
called
a
good
time
for
the
truth.
It's
essays
about
race
in
minnesota
and
so
go
to
our
website
at
austinarearts.org.
E
It's
free
and
you
can
sit
in
and
hear
about
the
experience
of
the
authors,
what
it's
like
to
be
black
in
minnesota
and
where
we
are
as
a
state
and
and
kind
of
what's
next,
so
I
wanted
to
highlight
that
for
folks.
E
I
guess
I'd
also
like
to
just
say
I'm
aware
that
this
is
a
crazy
election
year
and
there's
a
lot
of
extra
pressure
on
our
city
and
county
employees,
and
I
appreciate
all
that
they're
doing
to
get
ballots
out
to
inform
the
public
on
how
to
vote,
and
I
am
very
proud
of
how
confident
I
feel
that
we'll
be
able
to
do
an
accurate
and
fair
election
in
november.
L
L
M
Yeah,
oh
echo,
wars
comments
just
as
a
thanks
to
the
city
and
county
staff
who
are
doing
an
awesome
job
on
the
election
prep
and
with
the
voting
I
dropped
my
ballot
off
this
week.
It
was
seamless,
it
was
easy
and
I
know,
as
I
talked
to
folks
who
live
in
other
areas
of
the
country.
It
is
not
always
that
way.
M
You
hear
things
you
know
three-hour
votes
and
I
can't
figure
out
how
I
get
a
ballot
or
I
don't
trust
where
I'm
at
so
all
the
volunteers
and
all
the
staff
that
are
doing
it
are
doing
a
great
job
and
I
feel
good
about
where
we're
at
heading
into
the
election.
So
thank
you
guys.
Thank
you.
A
Should
they
vote
for
just
kidding,
okay,
craig,
do
you
have.
O
Yes,
thank
you
mayor,
I
mentioned
to
council
several
meetings
ago.
With
the
cares
funding.
There
was
some,
I
guess,
change
and
opinion
from
the
department
of
treasury
inspector
general's
office.
O
There
was
a
revision
september,
21st
2020
that
came
out
about
our
use
of
cares
dollars
for
public
safety,
full-time
wages
and
the
subsequent
clarification
that
was
brought
to
our
attention
by
senator
klobuchar's
office
and
the
league
of
minnesota
cities
does
make
clear
that
our
use
of
the
cares
fund
in
that
fashion
is
appropriate
and
it
really
hinged
on
whether
or
not
we
had
to
substantiate
our
full-time
employees
was
substantially
dedicated
to
covet
emergency.
O
So
we
were
glad
to
get
that
clarification
and
looks
like
we're
in
the
clear
for
our
single
audit
to
clear
that
as
approved
authorized
use
of
cares
dollars.
So
I
wanted
to
give
council
an
update
on
that.
Well,.
A
Okay,
I
just
want
to
echo
what
paul
said
you
know:
we've
had
we
ask
our
city
employees
to
work
their
butts
off
for
us
and
then
you
know
people
come
in
and
complain
and
I
think
that's
what
we're
seeing
right
now
is.
Our
people
are
kind
of
overworked.
We
should
have
more
resources
on
these
issues
that
we
can't
afford
to
do
right
now,
but
it's
certainly
no
imp.
You
know
implication
again
on
city
employees.
