CityCouncil | 2013-06-18 | 16 | Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether there is a difference between this case and the Driftwood Lane property, to which the Chief Building Official responded the granddaughter seems to want to work with the City unlike the Driftwood Lane property owner. Mayor Gilmore stated the fine amount is not being changed. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated a payment plan is being discussed; inquired whether the Driftwood Lane property was before Council last year. The Chief Building Official responded the assessment was placed against the Driftwood Lane property last year. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she would like the Council to consider allowing the property owner a specific amount of time to come up with a payment plan. The Assistant City Manager stated all six property owners have the same opportunity to come in and work with the City. Mayor Gilmore moved approval of the staff recommendation, with the exception of the Pacific Avenue property, which would have a lien rather than an assessment; and direction be given to staff to obtain multiple points of contact, with specific names and addresses, where notice will be sent. Councilmember Daysog seconded the motion. Under discussion, Councilmember Daysog stated that the contact should have some authority and he is not certain Mr. Villapando or Ms. Longoria have authority. Ms. Longoria stated that she would consult her grandmother. Councilmember Chen inquired why the City should not issue liens since liens are more beneficial for property owners. The Chief Building Official responded the City does not receive payment for liens. In response to Councilmember Tam's inquiry regarding the Driftwood Lane property, the Chief Building Official stated an assessment was placed on the property last year and another assessment would be placed on the property again this year. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she would advocate for placing a lien on the Driftwood Lane property since the property owner made the effort to come to the meeting; inquired whether the property would be assessed if a payment plan is not established. The Chief Building Official inquired whether the Council is establishing a timeframe for Regular Meeting Alameda City Council 15 June 18, 2013 | CityCouncil/2013-06-18.pdf |
