386 by demolition if performed by City , and rehabilitation or demolition by owners of interest if performed within thirty days of declaration of public nuisance by the City Council , Chief Building Official added that it was his understanding Mr . Washburn was to have been present at this meeting . Mr , William Royer , 101E Blandford , indicated he was representing Mrs . Kroll , holder of the second (Deed of Trust ) on the property . On advice of City Attorney , Mr . Royer was sworn in by the City Clerk , prior to presenting his testimony . Mr . Royer requested on behalf of Mrs . Kroll that additional time be allowed to permit foreclosure proceedings , which he felt would take place in approximately 30 days . He stated that it was definitely felt the building could be restored . ( Councilman Petersen entered the meeting at 7 : 48 P . M . ) Mr . Royer indicated that after some effort they were able to obtain an address for the owner , and were hopeful of acquiring the deed so that it would not be necessary to wait the 30 days . In response to question by Council , Chief Building Official advised that it was coincidental that Mr . Washburn came in shortly after the premises were posted , and that apparently correspondence had taken several weeks to reach him through the chain of offices . There had been indication at that time that the mortgage holder would respond at this meeting . He felt the property had the capability of being rehabilitated and in its present state was secure and evidently not attracting further acts of vandalism . If it remained that way for a reasonable period of time , he felt there might be justification to continue the hearing . Council questioned whether it would be appropriate to take formal action to order abatement in 45 or Go days , rather than 30 days . City Attorney responded that this would be at variance with precise terms of the Ordinance , but indicated that the Ordinance provided that Council may maintain continuing the hearing from time to time . In response to questions and concern expressed by Councilman Keckley relative to efforts made to contact the persons who left the property , Chief Building Official advised that there had been some indication of several possible locations but these efforts were unsuccessful . Councilman Keckley also questioned whether 30 days would be sufficient time . Mr . Royer advised that actually Mrs . Kroll ' s foreclosure proceedings were ahead of Great Western ' s . He felt there would be no objection to 30 days continuance , but two weeks would be insufficient . 1 -2)4 -72
