<br />Mayor Gamec replied there are business deals with the municipal ramp and it is supported with <br />businesses buying a certain number of spots through an assessment process. <br /> <br />Mr. Lindberg stated his main concern is that the City needs to be aware about the concerns with <br />the ACCAP townhomes. If they were to poll the residents at that development he would be <br />willing to bet there would be interesting comments about problems with the management of the <br />property, and with getting response to repairs. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec asked why Mr. Lindberg did not bring this up to the City before. <br /> <br />Mr. Lindberg replied he just recently started getting involved with the City through the Hack <br />Center and got the agenda for this meeting today. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec questioned why Mr. Lindberg did not contact the City about problems with the <br />Sunwood facility when he was having the problems. He stated he has had people call him, and <br />they have gone out there and it was taken care of. The City needs to know these things earlier so <br />they can get involved. <br /> <br />Mr. Lindberg stated he lived there for three years, and the first two years were great. His <br />brother-in-law lives across the street from Councilmember Jeffrey, and he convinced them that <br />nothing could be done because the City had their mind made up about this whole thing. They <br />fought against that development going in and the other one going in behind that. He did not have <br />much faith in the City, and he was a renter and did not know what rights he had as a renter. He <br />was not paying taxes in the City and did not realize he had the rights he had; he was complaining <br />to the management and the police. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated he does not care, and does not think any of the other council members care, <br />if someone is a renter or a homeowner. Their job is to make sure there is adequate and proper <br />housing. He has found thetownhomes have taken care of a lot of this. It seems that Mr. <br />Lindberg is trying to vent and be bitter about this, but the residents have to let the City know. <br />There was a Youth First group that worked down there with the kids, and he talked to a lot of <br />those people. This is not only ACCAP housing where some of these problems exist. The City <br />will look into it, but the real key is if you are going to put out a fire you have to be. there when <br />the sparks fly. <br /> <br />Mr. Lindberg stated they called the police in a few instances and it seemed like the police were <br />acting like their hands were tied because it was private property. He was told that when he <br />called to complain about kids 7 and younger running around. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec asked if there is anything else Mr. Lindberg wants to add to his statements. <br /> <br />Mr. Lindberg stated he thinks the management needs to be questioned. As a City Council they <br />need to scrutinize ACCAP because they will be right in the middle of downtown. <br /> <br />City Council / June 12, 2007 <br />Page 12 of 29 <br />
