Wright, Director of Council Date: Community Development 9. 11 /24/08 RECOMMENDED MOTION: Not an action item POLICY ISSUE(S): Council objective; Nuisance abatement BACKGROUND: During the week of November 3, 2008, the City mowed the Westgate Apartment Complex after a citation was issued against the owner for high grass and weeds. At its meeting on November 10, the City Council inquired about the lien holder for this property, and research indicates that it is Capital One. On the morning of November 18, a realtor hired by Capital One contacted the Code Enforcement Officer and advised him that the bank had taken possession of the property. The realtor stated that he intends to recommend to Capital One that it secure the building immediately to protect it from further vandalism. He also indicated that the bank would pay the City for the cost of mowing the property and would ensure maintenance in the future. Based upon this conversation, there is no immediate action being taken on this property so that Capital One can be given time to perform the activities recommended by its realtor.
