30. The City of Ramsey, through the City Administrator, did send Kiefer a letter <br />dated October 12, 2007, referencing the Police Department's letter of September 13, 2007 that <br />the September letter "ORDERED" Kiefer to correct the City Code violations. The letter further <br />stated that since he did not correct the violations within the required time period of fourteen <br />days, or request a hearing, the City would enter his property on October 25, 2007 to "correct the <br />City Code violations...." <br />31. The City of Ramsey did wrongfully enter Kiefer's property on October 25, 2007. <br />32. The City through its agents and representatives wrongfully entered Kiefer's <br />property, "trimmed and cut trees to gain access to the property ... removed a Colt Vista wagon, <br />Tractor, Pickup with camper top ....and small `building'..." including personal property such as <br />snowmobiles and other items. <br />33. Over Kiefer's objection, the City of Ramsey wrongfully moved Kiefer's personal <br />property to the Isanti County property causing a public nuisance on Kiefer's Isanti County <br />property. <br />34. The total charge amounted to $13,536.41 excluding interest and penalties. <br />35. Kiefer refused to pay the charge. <br />36. After the removal of Kiefer's property to the Kiefer's Isanti County property <br />including the so- called "junk vehicles" the City dismissed the criminal proceeding in November <br />2007. <br />37. The City in September 2008 notified Kiefer that they would seek an assessment <br />on his property for the outstanding amount due related to the abatement of the alleged violations. <br />38. Kiefer immediately challenged the assessment and asserted a number of <br />constitutional and legal grounds for his objections. The City Council disregarded the objections. <br />9 <br />
