Roseville is an extremely desirable location in in my view. It's got characteristics that will be durable, um difficult to move from that, uh, loc, uh, location of desirability to a location that is not seen as desirable in the region just because of your distinct natural assets your location respect with respect to the downtowns and and such.

This is a this is a strategy that is widely practiced around Twin City suburbs. All three of the suburbs to the north of Roseville, um, are practicing this in some way shape or form.

It seems that you almost have to control the property to make this type of strategy work if I'm you know unless I'm unless I'm oversimplifying or or exaggerating the pain that we've had trying to do this.

I just like to add it's, uh, as there's often been things in the, uh, National politics that, um, maybe are contrary, I still appreciate that our city finds us a valuable Proclamation and that we are able to honor it today. Thank you.

Some of the actions that we have taken in the past year with with regard to solidifying interest rate, the collection fee, um, we are starting to see that that is having an impact and people are making time more timely payments.

I'd like to thank staff for bringing this forward because this is an example of real improving our process and, uh, something that's worked in a fairly short amount of time when you consider government movement. So, thank you to Michelle Petri and the department for that work.

It's kind of disheartening to have these properties come time after time. I'm wondering if this is kind of an aside, is there something the city we can do to, I mean, it's an unoccupied property, it's obviously being in my opinion being used for to store vehicles and to repair them.

I was thinking that too is if we continue to have a property over and over again, do we want to reconsider adding a, um, another some sort of fee to, you know, if you think about when we have violations of, say, you know, um, underage smoke or drink that that ratches us up and maybe we should think about doing something like that in this case as well. So something to put on the future agenda possibly.

And I too agree that I would like to this on a future agenda discussion of a tiered or ratcheting approach to these fines. Right. And I would just add I think we need to make sure that, um, that you know, uh, paying these abatements and paying these, uh, nuisance repeat nuisance fees isn't a less expensive alternative than say renting storage, uh, to store these vehicles properly off of a residential property. So, uh, I I too agree that we need to have that conversation and I know that our, I'm pretty sure that our existing repeat nuisance fee system does have ratcheting up, but maybe we just need to review that perhaps specifically related to code enforcement and repeat violations there or more broadly, but whatever I think we do have to have that discussion, uh, because once again, we don't want to be the less expensive alternative for this property owner or any property owner to to continue to violate the code and and not, uh, not operate, uh, properly within a residential district.
