Voicemail for Jane Foster at 11:17 am: this is Marcia Moermond from St. Paul City
Council calling you about 1312 Scheffer and your work plan. Feeling really well about
the thought you put into it. The only remaining item I see is the taller plants in the
boulevard, and what I am thinking is deadlines on this. I’m confused on what “current

5 Council agenda and talk to you next week between 11 and 11:30 and wrap up

Moermond: there is no tall grass and weeds note in the order, so that is an FYI. This
talks about the brush pile, rock pile, food pile, miscellaneous debris. You said the
rock pile is well under way to being addressed. I’m inclined to say that has been
abated, understanding you’ll be continuing to work on it so it isn’t a trip hazard, is that
fair?
Puchala: Do you have the most recent photos I sent? The rock pile is gone.
Moermond: yes, and converted to a walkway, it just looks like there’s a lot of space
between the stones so a foot at a bad angle could be an ankle breaker. As time goes
