Memo to Jim Iles <br />April 4, 1984 <br />3. The structure would have to completely cleaned out to <br />remove all trash, garbage and filth. <br />I further related to the group that in 1980 when Italked with Mrs. Johnston <br />about Dan's living conditions, she said, "We plan to find a home and put <br />Dan in it then demolish the house he is in now because it isn't worth <br />saving." <br />I stated that in accordance with the Uniform Housin; Code the City has <br />the tools with which to remove Dan from the house but, "What would happen <br />to Dan if I were to take steps to put him out in the street. Where would <br />he go; what would he do; who could he turn to?" Tnis is the very reason <br />I have not taken any further action in this situation. <br />I have contacted DSHS, the State Attorney General's Office, the Snohomish <br />Health District and family members in the past in an attempt to get this <br />problem corrected. So far my efforts have been unsuccessful. <br />,]ust last week I had reports from the neighbors of Dan stating that he <br />was putting human �aaste into the garbage cans outside. <br />The group then decided that perhaps a crisis was �he thing needed in <br />this situation. The Piental Health Officer said that should the City <br />take steps to evict Dan from his residence they could take steps to <br />r�elp him as they feel it would be �•iarranted. DSHS said they would also <br />be able to assist Dan as he would need a place to live. <br />The Mental Health people and DSHS personnel don't have the means to <br />initiate the positive action prevalent to this situation. The City <br />holds the only tools available to cause a turn of events in this situation <br />so that corrective action may begin. <br />I am confident that should the City take steps to have Dan removed from <br />his present living conditions, which are worse than those of our Animal <br />Control Shelter, other agencies in the area would step in and provide <br />help as is needed in such a situation. <br />I have worked for almost five years on this problem and will continue to <br />do so until an answer is reached. <br />The agencies I met with last week are waiting to see if the City plans <br />to take any action. , , <br />- 4 - <br />� <br />z <br />0 <br />� <br />n <br />m <br />., <br />-I T <br />..� <br />N 2 <br />m <br />0 <br />c o <br />m o <br />c-� <br />-i c <br />o� <br />�z <br />_ -i <br />m <br />.o � <br />n --+ <br />rx <br />.. <br />--I N <br />< <br />� <br />on <br />-i m <br />x <br />mN <br />0 <br />or <br />c� m <br />C N <br />N <br />Z C"� <br />--i r <br />• m <br />n <br />� <br />� <br />s <br />n <br />z <br />-i <br />� <br />N <br />z <br />0 <br />-i <br />� <br />m <br />
