Mr. Jones announced Mr. Campbell had made no headway on the weeds
and Mrs. Cucanich stated she had driven past there and nothing
seemed to be done. Mr. Jones also stated the one roof had been re-
moved, but no weeds cut qbwn, and the other buildings have not
been tightly secured. Mr. Turano told Mr. Williams there has
not been much progress at all, Mr. Williams having been away
at the last meeting. Mr. Williams asked if anyone has been in
touch with Mr. Campbell and Mr. Jones says he can never reach
him, that this has been going on since last April. Mr. Jones also
explained that Mr. Campbell is not the owner, his uncle, who lives
in Kentucky is the real owner. Mr. Jones also stated Mr. Campbell
is one of the habitual offenders, that the neighbors have complained
people were going-ip all hours including-:: t;railsients. Mr. J.ones
said he and Mr. Fischer had walked into what was formerly the bar
section and it was pretty secure, and that Mr. Campbell did remove
the roof and eliminated a lot of appliances that had been outside.
Mr. Biggerstaff stated he believed there had been a for sale sign
there and perhaps the real owner doesn't intend to put any more
money into it. After a discussion as to the owner communicating
wi th the Board, Mr. Turano made a mot ion"the Board get in touch
with the owner telling him it must be corrected; and if Mr. Campbell
is to be in charge, to please notify the Board;then if the Board does
not hear from the owner, they will understand the Board is to take
care of the problem. Motion seconded by Mr. Biggerstaff. CARRIED 4-0.

workmen and about one month after the notice from the Board,
he and Mr. Thomas got together another crew and really got started
on it. He continued if they could control the wind, the rain,
in other words, the weather, they could get this job done. Mr.
Johnson also stated they would like to clean up the property, as
they were talking with some people who want to do some building
there. Mr. Curtis explained they are making progress and
admitted the forty five days are just not enough' time~ Mr.

fifty ($50.00) dollars but could not be done due to the location
of the house. Mr. Turano made a motion the Board write to the

\ request they handle this in the usual manner, which is to clear
the premises and lien the property.
