Council Attorney Kathleen Cekanski - Farrand stated for that case it looks like a thirty (30) day <br />repair order was issued. <br />Ms. Sexton stated all twelve (12) of the businesses have final approval from each department. <br />Code Enforcement did say that they were going to follow up with some of the businesses just to <br />make sure they were following compliance. <br />Chairperson John Voorde asked if there are any more pending businesees or if this is the whole <br />lot for this year. <br />Ms. Sexton responded that this is everyone for this year. <br />Council Attorney Cekanski- Farrand stated in years past there were issues about security cameras <br />and asked if they were checked by police this year. <br />City Clerk Kareemah Fowler responded that in the last few years that issue has not come up but <br />the Clerk's Office can follow up on that issue. <br />Councilmember Jo M. Broden asked if these inspections are announced or if they just show up <br />randomly. <br />City Clerk Kareemah Fowler responded the businesses that are going to be inspected are sent a <br />renewal letter which informs that within thirty (30) days there will be an inspection. <br />Councilmember Gavin Ferlic stated the price of metals has really decreased over the past few <br />years and he has not heard about scrapping being as big of an issue as it was in the past. <br />Council Attorney Cekanski-Farrand responded part of the issue was right when Chief Teachman <br />left, the City is now online with the other communities which has helped. <br />City Clerk Kareemah Fowler stated things have gotten better and the Police Department is <br />working with a company called Leads Online and there haven't been any complaints or citations <br />recently. The only citations have been through this process not through complaints. We have not <br />had any complaints with individual people like we had before with scrapping. <br />Councilmember Dr. David Varner brought up that arguably the City has less vacant and <br />abandoned properties to be scrapped, absent the source the problem will decrease on its own to a <br />degree. <br />Councilmember Jo M. Broden asked if the public is aware of when this process takes place in <br />case there are neighbors that have issues. <br />City Clerk Kareemah Fowler informed Councilmember Broden that like all other bills it is <br />advertised by the City Clerk's Office. Someone can see it in the paper where it is advertised by <br />title and in years past neighborhood organizations were very aware of violations and complaints. <br />2 <br />
