,........, . , _�, ,� _ � Memo to 7im I. � Jan 10, 1996 Page 2 � �� In the mean time, I advised Tim Tyler that we may have to publish all abatement proceedings on this one because of the lack of an owner if we couldn t do any better than this. Things just were not coming together on this and I knew we had to move fast because of the seriousness of the situation. Then Lt Aegge called and insisted on immediate action before some young person ended up dead as a result of an overdose or a Police Officer became injured because of chasing teens chrough the building. He said his Officers looked like they had been crawling through a garbage dump after going in these buildings and taking runaways out. I called the name of an attorney obtained through my research and he directed me to Hal Coe, Atry., representing Mr. Huang. Coe stated that Ted Thomas stole this property from Mr. Huang, and that there is litigation taking place at this time over this matter. Mr. Huang is in Japan tending to his business there. Mr. Coe said he is willing to work with the City and wanted the places occupied, etc. I advised him that they could not be occupied, they were dangerous, and that I did not want to see them secured as the gangs would get in anyway and i feared for the lives of our Police Officers in such sihiations. He memtioned putting barbed wire around them and I [old him that could not be done in Everett. I advised him that a Resolution declaring an emergency to exist and authorizing che demolition of the buildings was going to be presented to City Council. Coe said he wanted to meet with the City to determine what alternatives could be used as apposed to demolition of the buildings. According to the title report, Mr. Huang is not the record owner of title, but his name shows up as the previous owner. Mr. Thomas lives in the State of Oregon due to threats made on his life here in Washington. There was a property manager who lived in one of the houses but had to move out because of threats made on her life. There is a meeting scheduled for 9:15 AM, Tuesday, Jan 16th with Mr. Coe and a Mr. Ma, representative for Mr. Huang. Due to t�e serious nature of the conditions with these buildings, I would like to get this Resolution iuto Council by the 24th of January. Once in Council, if we get approval to move ahead with abatement, it will still take more time than I am willing to sacrifice before any physical change takes place with these places. However, knowing that Mr. Huang does at least have an interest in the property entitles him to full representation during our proceedings, this I �:nderstand and have no problems with as it is dictated by che Codes.
