Demolition to begin (potentially) in the next week with Bockman representative to be on site ( two people for two days at City cost) to oversee the separation of asbestos from other debris (siding mostly, some flooring) and disposal methods.

Andy will continue contact with Hubka in regard to another property regarding necessary testing that remains. Another property will be on the next round of demolition, (a large undertaking - possibly to use C & D rather than regular landfill) but the timeline is dependent on the removal of contents by the property owner prior to action beyond basic testing.

CLEAN-UP: Actions: 1. Complaint filed 2. Filing in District Court. Mewes told of people living in campers. She also addressed the topic of mobile homes, and discussion disclosed that no single trailers are allowed, doubles must be HUD approved, but newer models of mobile and modular homes are allowed as long as specifications are met. Sedlacek asked that he be allowed to talk to one property owner before further action is taken on his clean-up issues, and members were in agreement.
