ro City Council � P.Vt?f2tt FROM MariQn Payne, Housing Inspector o�re August 29, 1986 sue�ecr pemolition Resolution for 2224 Cleveland CIiV OF EVERETT,EVERETT WASMINGTON • ��w • On August 20, 1986, during the Everett City Co�mcil meeting, Coimcil tabled any action on the resolution for demolition on 2224 Cleveland for two weeks. During that two week perial, I was to work with Mrs. Nelson, owner of the structure, in an sttempt to determine an alternative to demolition of the structure. I had checked with our C}iIP OEfice several months ago and was advised that �'• Mrs. Nelson hod to occupy the structure in order for it to qualify for the QIIP program. o ; ' I talked with Nrs. Nelson the day after the Coimcil meeting and asked her if �; she wouldn't reconsider selling the property. At that time, she rrould nct thirilc of it. <� After the newspaper article appeared concernirg Mrs. Telson's old house and the action the City planned to take, I received several phone calls from people interested in purchasing the house. I directed each caller to Mrs. Netson. On Friday, August 29th, I called Mrs. Nelson and asked her if she had come to a conclusion on what she planned to do about the house. She said she was �.r going to sell it. A couple of people called har and were interested in rshabilitating the house and their offers sounded goud to her. I have nothing in writing from Mrs. Nelson at this time and she doesn't want to deal with the City eny longer in this matter. I respectfully recomnend that Coimcil adopt the resolution for demolotion and holding the resolution in obeisance for six weeks. If there is no sincere action on the part of the owner to resolve the problem with this house within the six week�, I shall proceed to carry out the requirements oE the resolution. h1P/jcl 0718B
