<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To: Honorable Mayor Adams and City Council <br /> <br />From: Julie Feier, City Manager <br /> <br />Date: April 20, 2007 <br /> <br />Subject: Weekly Update <br /> <br /> <br />I have attached the agenda for the Monday, April 23, 6:30 PM Public Hearing and Study <br />Session on the 2008 budget. After receiving public input for the upcoming budget, <br />Deputy City Manager Watson will review revenue trends and projections. <br /> <br />McClellan article <br />There is a bit of confusion surrounding the . First, why are house <br />numbers required to be visible from the street? The code requires numbers to be <br />visible to allow public safety personnel the ability to identify a property in an emergency. <br />Corner properties, particularly homes such as this one, which faces one street and is, <br />addressed to the adjacent are a concern. The property in question has made the <br />requested adjustments and presently meets the requirements of the code. Mr. Walker <br />is out of town at a conference, when he returns I can provide you with a full background. <br />From the two minutes I spent with Mr. McClellan it sounded as though the issue has <br />been back forth for quite some time and the inspector accidentally mailed some of his <br />own internal files to her. It was an unfortunate accident that he sent the work notes, but <br />I was able to review them. While it was unprofessional to have sent them, the notes <br />themselves were not offensive. The homeowner appeared in court and the case was <br />continued. She did not see the Judge and therefore could not have been found guilty. <br />The Judge felt it was important to make this clarification. When citizens come before <br />him on this type of issue and they are found to be in compliance, he generally dismisses <br />the case. In this instance, her attorney met with the Prosecutor. The Prosecutor <br />agreed to the minimum fine and continued the issue to allow them time to pay the fine <br />without a guilty verdict. Unfortunately, with Mr. Walker out of town I will not have all of <br />the information for you until next week. I do not consider the media the ideal outlet for <br />resolution of a court case and will respond when staff is available. <br /> <br /> <br />
