Summary

The magistrate approved reducing the lien for 1270 Kennard Street to $11,150 (cleanup cost); staff will work with the owner to set a payment plan and warned missed payments would revert to the original amount.

City staff recommended reducing the lien for 1270 Kennard Street to the city's cleanup cost of $11,150 (without interest) and allowing the owner to work with the finance department to set up a payment plan, typically three years but possibly extended. Staff noted the amount represents cleanup costs and that failure to meet the payment plan would revert the debt to the original fine total.

The owner (identified in the agenda as Donna Sue Sullivan) agreed to the proposal and said she could make the payments. Magistrate Watts entered an order approving the reduction to $11,150 with terms to be finalized by the finance department.

The magistrate and staff provided contacts for the owner to finalize the payment plan and advised that missing payments would reinstate the prior lien amount. Staff indicated finance usually offers a three-year plan but may permit longer terms in discussion with the city manager's office.
