5/6/09 Sent 15 day letter to all owners of record with owner to repair or demolish. <br /> 6/2/09 Ordered appraisal from Kent Fitzgerald. <br /> 6/3/09 Met with Charles Barnes, Mayor McElroy, Mr. McCrady, Harry Cook, and <br /> myself at the garage. Charles proposed to repair garage with assistance from City <br /> citing that he had met with a contractor and had plan of action. We will respond next <br /> week. <br /> 6/10/09 Met with Charles Barnes, Cindy Bachman, Shirley Henrichs Myer(Property <br /> Managers), Harry Cook, Pete Bayles (B.W.C.), Greg Crowe, Mr. McCrady, and Jim <br /> Rechtin (Western Waterproofing contractors) about a plan of action. Western <br /> Waterproofing proposed a bid of approximately $400,000 to repair first two levels. <br /> B.W.C. would provide drawings for these repairs. Question was brought up about the <br /> viability of changing guardrails to meet current code. I will look into this. <br /> Questions about funding for the project were posed once again with Mr. McCrady <br /> and Greg Crowe explaining details of Fa�ade grants and TIF funds. Mr. Barnes and <br /> his associates were to pursue other funding sources including private lenders. <br /> 6/12/09 I responded to Jim Rechtin of Western Waterproofing that plan to repair instead <br /> of replace per code existing guardrail system would be okay. <br /> 6/13/09 Met with Mayor McElroy, Mr. McCrady, Wendy Morthland, John Robinson, and <br /> Greg Crowe to discuss current status. Recent correspondence from Ms. Bachman and <br /> Mr. Barnes indicated difficulty in securing funding for project thus no real starting <br /> date to make repairs is evident. Decision was made to proceed with Council <br /> recommendation to demolish structure. <br /> 7/20/09 Recommendation was made to City Council to consider property "unsafe" and <br /> move forward with demolition. Council decided to table decision until 9/8/09 <br /> meeting to allow more time for owner to obtain financing for repairs. <br /> 8/27/09 Received e-mail from Charles Barnes stating that although he has been <br /> unsuccessful in obtaining financing, he will proceed via his own resources with some <br /> repairs to first level of garage. <br /> 8/31/09 Received e-mail from Mr. Barnes which authorized Jim Rechtin of Western <br /> Waterproofing to proceed with proposal to begin work on first level. City staff has <br /> yet to approve this work but will review plans when submitted. <br />
