2009 Fire Chief Letter re: cleaning up properties 24-Feb-09
To Whom It May Concern:
Recently,the City has authorized"clean-up"projects for properties within our city that
require and are in need of cleaning and/or securing based on safety and other factors.
The Attorney has completed a contract for the owner of these properties that are
interested in cleaning their property but cannot due to financial restrictions. The contract
will be signed by the owner of the property and authorizes the city to clean/secure the
property and place a lien against the property. The contract requires an amount as close
as possible to the cost of mitigating properties. Please determine to the best of your
knowledge the costs associated with each property so we may commence with the
contractual agreements.
Properties List attached:
If this letter does not pertain to you or your department please disregard otherwise please
evaluate each property attached and get the information back to Code Enforcement as
soon as you can.
Thank you,
Herb Smith
