Housing & Urban Development Director Alan Ferri said the property owner was advised the City will remove the barbed wire fence today. The CRT (Community Response Team) will act regarding all code infractions. According to the Charter, the City currently cannot sell surplus proper.ty to a party of choice. Ms. Cormier complained the City has taken 18 months to address this situation. She expressed concern the City's deed description differs from ,the tax rolls. She said the Commission should have been advised of the Charter restrictions when they considered and approved the property's purchase.

She stated the CRT had apologized for not responding more quickly. She brought her complaint to NAHAB (Neighborhood & Affordable Housing Advisory Board) in recognition of the board's powers in deciding how in-fill funds are spent. mna0698 1 06/16/98 ITEM #6 Old Business , . >; ..,:. .:,> . .1~ I ." ~f~!
