CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET <br />Submittal Date: <br />Originating Department: <br />Presented By: <br />Agenda Item No.: <br />11/18/08 <br />City Council <br />Lisa A. Wright, Directar of <br />Council Date: <br />Community Development <br />8. <br />11 /24/08 <br />RECOMMENDED MOTION: <br />Not an action item <br />POLICY ISSUE(S): <br />Council objective; Nuisance abatement <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On October 28, 2008, a jury trial was conducted in the Municipal Court for cases filed against Chad and <br />Debra Brown, owners of the One Oak Apartments, for failure to comply with a demolition order issued <br />by the Buildings and Standards Commission. Myself, Robert Talley, and Chad C. Brown (not the <br />defendant) and Mary Crumpler, members of the BSC at the time the property was considered, testified <br />in the case. After hearing the facts, the jury found both defendants guilty and fined each of them <br />$2,000.00, which is the maximum fine. <br />It is unlikely that Chad and Debra Brown have the resources to demolish the complex. In mid-October, <br />Community Development solicited Brady Environmental to perform an asbestos survey on the building. <br />On November 18, 2008, the City received the final inspection report indicating that asbestos is present in <br />floor tile and mastic, sheetrock, tape, bedding, joint compounds, and spray-on ceiling textures. This <br />building is structurally intact for the most part, however, the materials must be removed prior to <br />demolition. The City is seeking estimates (not formal bids) so that the City Council will have an idea <br />what this project may cost so it can determine if it wishes to proceed with formal solicitation of bids for <br />the demolition of this complex. <br />Research indicates that there is no mortgage lien holder on this property. <br />BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: <br />EXHIBITS: <br />ACTION: <br />BUDGET INFO: <br />❑ Financial Report ❑ Minute Order <br />Expense <br />$1,551.00 <br />Z Department Report ❑ Resolution <br />Budgeted Amt. <br />$255,000.00 <br />❑ Presentation ❑ Ordinance <br />y'TD Actual <br />$8,051.82* <br />❑ Public Hearing ❑ Other <br />Acct.
