Public Comment on Agenda Items
No comments at this time.
Discussion/Action:
RESOLUTION –Claim #1708; Gayle Miller; 2705 Gibson; $558.40
Ms. Puente acknowledged a conversation with the code officer who charged the fine, and
informed her that it appeared on site that the door was kicked in. The LPD contacted Code
Compliance at 7 pm on 4/26/2019; and the policy is that when LPD calls Code they immediately
call the Board-Up Crew for immediate safety. LPD stays on site until the Board-Up crew arrives,
and once it is secured, they do not leave any notes on the door. Council Member Jackson
asked if Code attempts to call the owner at the same time. Ms. Puente admitted that there is
not always a phone number readily available or even on file, so their policy is for an immediate
call to the Board-Up crew, then the Code Officer meets LPD at site and waits until the Board-Up
crew arrives.
DRAFT
Ms. Miller appealed the claim and fines, in addition to acknowledging they have other rentals in
the City that they maintain, have licensed and registered. She admitted that in this case, the
door was damaged prior to this tenant and it was repaired poorly, which caused the doorplate to
fall off and the door not stay securely closed. She appealed for Code to contact the owners and
in her case; she believed she or her handy man could have been on site in 10 minutes. Ms.
Miller appealed for a reduction or waiving of the fee and asked the Committee to correct the
policy to inform owners to address it before a cost is incurred. A question was then asked, if the
owner gave permission, if once they are notified the Code office and LPD can leave the
property. Ms. Puente stated the City would not do that because there have been situations in
the past where a structure was left open and it attracts people who want to steal items in the
house or even the copper and metal. Ms. Miller than asked what the $200 title search charge
was, and Ms. Puente clarified it was the Administrative fee, which includes Code, LPD,
paperwork and administrative duties applied to the claim.
The Committee and Ms. Miller spoke about the situation that caused the Board-Up crew to be
on site, costs, and the repair of the door that caused Code to call to the property.
Mr. Brewer acknowledged the claim was before the Claims Review Committee on July 25, 2019
and based in the same information they denied the claim in full.
MOTION BY COUNCIL MEMBER JACKSON TO REDUCE THE FINE BY $200 FOR THE
CLAIM AT 2705 GIBSON.
Council Member Washington stated her opposition and the support for code compliance when a
violation is evident, that the property itself is being taken care and the cause is not tenant or
property owner created. Ms. Miller again objected to the violation.
