King was sworn in by Mayor Stod- dard. Affiant testified that he had called for bids in the manner prescribed by law and that he received three proposals, $1400 being the lowest net bid he was able to obtain for sub- ject demolition. He stated that due notice of the proposed razing was sent to Mr. Roger Van Pelt, the owner of the property, and that the property was posted.

Mr. Roger Van Pelt spoke from the audience and particularly mentioned the following items whit he believed would have been salable: A Thermo - Lux water heater costing approximately $300, which he stated was located between two of the houses, used brick from two chimneys, bath tubs, fire escapes, windows, window frames, light bulbs, stainless steel sink, locks and padlocks. Mr. King reiterated that the salvage values of the aforementioned items did not warrant the razing of the houses by any method excepting mechanized razing. He further stated that the stainless steel sink referred to by Mr. Van Pelt was among the personal things which had been placed in storage when no response had been made by Mr. Van Pelt to the City's request that he remove his personal belongings before the razing of the buildings. Upon questioning, it was determined that Mr. Van Pelt had not talked with those qualified in the plumbing business, wrecking business, and light- ing fixture business, to receive firm commit- ments of there being any value in the afore- mentioned fixtures. Mr. Van Pelt questioned the right of the City to remove his personal effects from the proper- ty. The City Attorney asked him if he had a better alternative to suggest for the disposal of personal effects. Mr. Van Pelt did not pro- pose a solution. On query by the City Attorney, it was brought out that Mr. Van Pelt's reference to being able to demolish the buildings at a cost of $1000 was based on an estimate Mr. Van Pelt received in 1958. Mr. King stated that it was his under- standing that the same people had bid on the jot in 1960, submitting a proposal of $1750. Mr. Van Pelt repeated a statement several times that the demolition should have been carried on in accordance with the State Housing Act, and that the Building Inspector should have kept a list of all salable items and offered them at a public auction for salvage. The hearing was closed. Motion x All Ayes Resolution No. 5247, confirming the statement of expense of abating said public nuisance and ove - ruling and rejecting objections or protests raised by the property owner to be assessed for the cost of the work; directing the City Clerk Motion x to record a Notice of Lien in the sum of $1400 Roll Cal : on the subject real property, was adopted.
