PUBLIC HEARING MAYOR HENDLER DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN (CONTINUED) TO CONSIDER RECOVERY OF ABATEMENT COSTS FOR PASCO HOG FARM It was noted that the Hearing had been duly publicized as required by law. There were no written communications. Mr. Dave McDonald reported he had met with Attorney for Mr. Vickers and explained the abatement expenses that related to the Engineering Department, Fire Department, and Community Development Department The previous expense report reviewed by Council showed a total cost for abatement of $17,758.29. As a result of the adjustments in the Engineering and Community Development Departments, the total expenses came to $18,971.29, which represents a $1,213 increase from the last report. Broken down on a lot by lot basis, Mr. Vickers, the owner of all but two lots would be responsible for $18,378 44 of the abatement costs while the American Armenian College would be responsible for $592.85. This property is assessed at $49,500 or $30,528 more than the abatement costs. Therefore, staff recommends abatement costs be recovered through a special assessment and lien on the property.
