CityCouncil | 2013-06-18 | 17 | the Pacific Avenue property. Mayor Gilmore inquired whether the Council could provide direction; stated the timeframe is not included in the current motion. The Chief Building Official stated having Council establish a timeframe would be helpful. The City Attorney stated placing a lien on the property wipes the slate clean; an assessment would have to be approved when staff comes back next year. In response to Councilmember Chen's inquiry, Mayor Gilmore stated Council is considering giving a certain amount of time to obtain permits and fix the property. The Chief Building Official suggested a 90 day period be offered to gain compliance before violations begin to be issued again. The Council concurred with said suggestion. Mayor Gilmore restated the motion: approval of the staff recommendation to assess properties, with exception of the Pacific Avenue property; and the Pacific Avenue property representatives have 90 days to work with the Planning and Building Department, pull permits and start corrective work on health and safety violations. The Acting City Manager inquired whether the motion includes placing a lien on the Pacific Avenue property, to which Mayor Gilmore responded in the affirmative. Vice Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired whether the motion could be amended to include the Driftwood Lane property, to which Mayor Gilmore responded in the negative. Councilmember Daysog stated that he still seconds the motion, due to the Pacific Avenue owner's granddaughter and the Driftwood Lane owner not remaining at the meeting. On the call for the question, the motion carried by the following voice vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Chen, Daysog and Mayor Gilmore - 3. Noes: Councilmembers Ezzy Ashcraft and Tam - 2. (13-315) Public Hearing to Consider Collection of Delinquent Business License Taxes and Delinquent Integrated Waste Management Accounts Via the Property Tax Bills. The Controller gave a brief presentation and provided a handout. Councilmember Chen inquired how many payments have to be missed before placing a lien, to which the Controller responded ample time is provided; stated one case has continued for several years.
