Session 1800 <br />January 8, 2001 <br /> <br />The motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />CITIZEN'S COMMENTS: <br /> <br />Gilberto Acevedo, 7442 Wayne, said that he moved here in 1987 and had been issued <br />a summons to pay a lien on his home from 1985. What he is here about, is not the lien, <br />which he understands he cannot do nothing about, but the manner in which he and <br />others were treated at court on Friday. There was a total lack of respect. There is <br />nothing wrong with enforcing the code, but there is a dignified way to go about it. He <br />believes better management is needed in the City. There needs to be more respect for <br />the community. The citizens pay the salaries of the city hall staff. What he saw here on <br />Friday comes to the verge of violating constitutional rights. He hopes that Mr. Ollendorff <br />would go department to department to identify the problems and try to correct them. <br />Management needs to do a better job of instilling morals and values in their employees. <br /> <br />Mayor Pro Tem Schoomer asked Mr. Ollendorff to make sure that Mr. Acevedo's <br />Councilmembers were apprized of his situation and remarks. <br /> <br />Grant Shostak, 1060 Wilson, said that he was asked to speak on behalf of the U. City <br />East Business and Transportation Committee to a number of Olive businesses about <br />forming a taxing district to get improvements along Olive Street Road. The business <br />owners shared some concerns with him that he in turn would like to apprize Council of <br />this evening. Their concerns involved trash collection, police protection, enforcement of <br />code provisions. They were concerned with disparate treatment of their businesses as <br />opposed to other businesses in the City. He said that the business owners have formed <br />a committee to meet and discuss those issues. Their next meeting is February 13TM at <br />3:00 p.m. at 6262 Olive, Packaging Materials, which Council is welcome to attend. <br /> <br />CLARIFICATIONS ON AGENDA ITEM #2 - DELCREST / DELMAR <br />REDEVELOPMENT PLAN: <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff said that he had a chance to talk to Mr. Rose and thE; Legal Advisor for <br />this project about Mr. Lieberman's question on how much taxes would be paid if the <br />County assesses the property at less than $26.5 million. Evidently, the County does <br />not assess abated property, so the amount is set firmly at $26.5 million. The term <br />freezing is the same as abatement. <br /> <br />CITY CLERK'S DOCKET: <br /> <br />SECOND AND THIRD READINGS: <br /> <br /> <br />
