MEMORANDUM
December 21, 1993
TO:
FROM:
Mayor and City Council
Paul Nolte
SUBJECT: Adding emergency clause to railroad park ordinance
Nan Franklin advises that she is receiving more and more lien searches for properties
in the railroad district affected by the railroad park assessments. Because the
assessments are in limbo in that they are subject to removal if the council adopts the
ordinance on tonight's agenda, it is difficult to clear the liens established by the original
ordinance adopting the assessments.
Unless an emergency is declared' to exist by the council, the ordinance repealing the
assessments will not be effective 'until 30 days from its second reading (i.e. February
3, 1994). Until that time all properties sold in the railroad district will have liens upon
them.
Attached to this memo is an ordinance declaring an emergency and making the
ordinance effective when adopted.
